| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! Quite correct Audioguy.DD turntables are forever cogging, trying without success to turn the platter at exactly 33.333333333333333333 rpm.There is continuous wow and flutterIf the speed is checked 100 times a second (or whatever silly frequency), ... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? On the basis that there is rarely a free lunch, it seems to me that if you arrange your speakers and room to obtain a wide sweet spot, it will be less 'sweet' than if you arrange for the one listener optimum.Indeed the loss may well be of depth, a... | |
| A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers. @oldhvymec Yeah, I could juggle with three of them. | |
| A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers. @shashankaA problem for half-wits and the unsighted, possibly.As I said, just be a bit careful. | |
| If your were to assemble a vintage system ? Yes, @zavato, can't do much with $1500 of today's money.So why not assemble your system with $1500 of yesterday's.eg for a 1970 system, £15,756 for UK inflation and today's $ conversion rate. | |
| Full circle and thinking about speakers Hi MC.OP's Rogue Cronus has 100w pc and he doesn't listen at high levels.At 91dB sensitivity this will all work fine. | |
| A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers. Grow up all of you and act like adults.What do you all cut meat with??Do you want to buy safe knifes?My KRS200s with dozens of blade-like fins all around are potentially lethal, plus they weigh 200lb each.I've moved them single-handed to (re)insta... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? Only 6 MC?Where do you plug all your Schumann resonators?Despite other comments, I still plug a pair of big monoblocks into separate dedicated 20A rings. Doesn't happen with my Krell KRSs but on the ordinary 13A house ring my KSA50 (Krell's first... | |
| Building a house Like me you are really fortunate to be able to start from zero with your listening room. I had been doing hi-fi for 50 years before my chance came.There are already some great suggestions above, so I won't repeat any of those..My room is in the b... | |
| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! RUN AWAY.The scammer is trying to draw you in. That's what they all do.Setting up an escrow is messy and probably costs more than....You offer to pay his PayPal cost. If he says 'no' then you will know he's a scammer. | |
| Anyone else treated poorly by AVA? Pace the loss of a key employee in a small company, but...The ground rules for taking deposits on orders to be fulfilled later:1. Too many companies just take all orders that come in. Do NOT take orders that cannot be fulfilled by delivery date... | |
| Schumann Resonator Little has been said about what is the active effect giving rise to perception of improved sound quality.Given (1) the reported effects of these waves on humans and (2) the 7.83Hz frequency is well below the bottom of the audible audio band, it se... | |
| Schumann Resonator MC: "Starting with one I added a couple at a time until now at 8 with 2 more on the way. Each one improved the same amount as the last. So much for the "law" of diminishing marginal returns. Some say they need to be 5ft off the floor." ... | |
| Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. Bipolar.Yeah. That fits many people here. | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. Thank you Dover. Finally someone who understands the principles and issues attaching to different arm designs.Horizontal effective mass of a parallel tracker can inherently be much less than a pivoted arm. Many parallel designs have arm tubes th... |
