| Anyone know the Shahinian Diapason Ensemble???? I have always enjoyed the "presentation" (sound stage, imaging) from omnidirectional speakers. I am familiar with the various permutations the Ohm line, and I was a dealer for Larsen speakers for several years. I am still enchanted by my Shahinian... | |
| Anyone know the Shahinian Diapason Ensemble???? @djnagle What information are you seeking? You didn't really ask a question in your first post. It was more of an announcement.I have owned Shahinian Obelisks and recently purchased a pair of Hawks. I have not owned the Diapasons. I find that Vas... | |
| MM phono preamplifier IMO the best bang for the buck in an MM-only phono stage is Croft. Glenn offers three tube phono stages. The least expensive model uses SS rectification, the mid tier used a tube rectifier and the most expensive is a 2-box solution w/ segregated p... | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre This sounds like a ground potential issue. Try running a ground strap from the phono pre to your preamp. I know you tried what millercarbon suggested but sometimes you need to isolate two plugs in the same receptacle. I have had good luck using a ... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? @lewm @cleeds Gents, my diatribes were only in regard to the OPs question regarding resonance. Obviously adding mass further out from the fulcrum is the most effective use of mass, but (as I described) is problematic for mechanical reasons and is ... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? The pickup arm works as a leverExactly. And the further mass is added away from the fulcrum the more destabilizing the effect. Resonance (the original topic of this post) is increased. A pivoted tonearm is not just a lever, it's a mechanical amp... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? @lewm I think you misunderstood my reply. I was not insulting you and was not implying that you pasted from a text. I was saying that I was trying to avoid doing that myself. I apologize if my meaning was not clear.I will restate my point: adding ... | |
| Why Crazy Prices paid for Pioneer 100 JBL L100 AR1 AR3 AR3A There are a lot of JBL speaker models that sound much better than L100s and are a relative bargain, including some truly great studio monitors home models featuring some of the best compression drivers ever made. I sometimes run across bargain JBL... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? lewm, I agree and disagree with different parts of your statement. Rather than cut and paste a text on mechanical amplifiers and resonance, please tell me how adding weight at the headshell is beneficial to the resonance of the lever?I agree that ... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? Increasing arm mass lowers resonance frequency@roberjerman, that's simply not true. It's a common misconception because resonance charts calculate frequency based on total arm weight. But resonance is a function of other factors besides weight; ... | |
| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? miniDSP used to use Dirac as their software technology. Still true? | |
| Is idler drive better than belt drive or direct drive? I own, and have owned, many turntables of all different drive technologies. I can't say that any one of them is better than the other, assuming that the technology is executed properly.All turntable drive technologies have fans and detractors. All... | |
| USB sucks @jaytor sed: I think what @rixthetrick was getting at is that any signal on a cable is inherently analogHow's that? With all due respect, do you actually understand what makes analog signals analog and how digital signals are different. ABout the... | |
| USB sucks @rixthetrickYou may be impressed with your own qualifications but if your experience tells you that USB is an analog transportation medium then you were learning at the wrong places. A 5V voltage "analog" signal is digitally encoded and decoded. o... | |
| New JBL Studio Monitors (4349) Coming in September As mentioned on another post, I recently acquired a pair of JBL L200T3s. They are the "home" version of the 4425 monitors, in a different form factor. They are very satisfying, especially considering how little I paid for them. I have owned many h... |
