| Matching phono section with either cartridge or turntable. As chakster said above, it's easy if you are using an MM cartridge. Not that all phono stages sound the same, but most (but not all) high output cartridges will work fine with standard MM settings.If you are going to use an low output MC cartridg... | |
| Swapping Platters on Thorens 124 Are you having a problem with the London Decca cartridge and the TD-124 iron platter, or are you anticipating a problem?I ask because I am using a London Decca Super Gold with my TD-124 Mk I and it works fine. I am also using several SPU cartridg... | |
| Micro Seiki MA-505 variants - any oracles around? Guys,I forgot to add that (apparently) the XII and LXII tonearms also featured silver wiring. Again, color me skeptical if you own one you tell me.But all in all the MA-505 line are very good tonearms; if not equal to those in the highest class. ... | |
| Micro Seiki MA-505 variants - any oracles around? There is a lot of confusion over the differences between various MA-505 models. I can only provide you with what is my understanding and others may correct me if I am mistaken.MA-505 Mk I - the original MA-505 dynamically balanced tonearm. A 9" ... | |
| Coherent speakers from Canada 17' x 26', but that's deceiving. One long side is essentially a pathway to the back door. I have the speakers placed on a long wall, on either side of a fireplace centered on that wall. I would rather use the standard placement (narrow wall) bu... | |
| Coherent speakers from Canada I own and use a pair of Coherent 8s paired with my 45 monoblocks. These are great speakers, comparable and different (not better or worse) than, say, Omega speakers. I am currently running a side-by-side comparison with both speakers and am find... | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... I am a SET amp guy and, after testing many speaker and amp combinations, I firmly feel that for my setups a great stand mount monitor paired with good subs is the best way to get great sound. Properly placed and tuned, a single driver system with... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I know that you didn't want other recommendations, but this is sort of in the family: IMO if you are seriously interested in the Nottingham decks you should definitely look at the Pear Audio Blue line. These are the last turntables designed by N... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Sorry to inform but there is no electron transfer through wire. Electrons are for all intents and purposes stationary. What IS traveling through the wires is photons, which makes sense, right?Dude, really???I know that this is Audiogon but bad s... | |
| Yter cables direction As for Cardas, and I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it appears they never got the memo on directionality. Or maybe they just clearly understand the difference between science and marketing hype. | |
| Yter cables direction I see. If it's the subject of a thread on Audiogon then it must be true?No problem. Please provide us with your proof or other evidence that wire is directional. Something that was NOT written by a cable manufacturer, if you don't mind. | |
| Yter cables direction >>>>>Exhibit A of not knowing what the word directionality means. To think some people accuse me of shooting fish in a barrel....🐟 🐟 🐟 “Not to start a flame war...” Funny! 😀 geoffkait, I'm pretty sure that I know what "directiona... | |
| Yter cables direction Not to start a flame war, but there is simply no such thing as a unidirectional audio cable using copper or silver as it's conductor.It IS possible to introduce bias and selective resistance onto a conductor through active (powered) means, and, of... | |
| clearaudio turntables theoriginalauthor1,The $ USD is not a weak currency. On the contrary all other currencies are lower. Here's a basic macroeconomics fact: a strong currency in the importing country makes imported goods more expensive. | |
| Tube tester: Orange VT 1000 I used to pull tubes from every item in the house just to take them down to the Thrifty Drug Store and test them. I probably ruined more tubes than I realized - it drove my Dad nuts.Drug store testers were "service tube testers" and only performe... |
