| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other rauliruegas This is not about taste is about facts. Correct. That’s why you’re mistaken when you claim "it’s a design for other kind of LP recordings but not for the ones that comes with the RIAA curve." In fact, the strain gauge system ... | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? udnh The “objectivists” use is a misnomer here. It suggests these “folks” have “all the facts”. They don’t ... That’s true, actually. The term is really shorthand for "those who claim to be objectivists." I think a better word for ... | |
| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon lewm Possibly MD didn’t have time in the lead up to publication to delete the SME V from their catalog. The SME announcement was fairly recent. SME stopped selling its arms separately more than three years ago. see: SME has stoppe... | |
| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon audioquest4life Too bad SME is no longer in the individual tonearm market. Perhaps, they wanted to reign in tonearm sales to increase SME turntable sales ... It looks as though that has changed. If you check the latest Music Direct catal... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other rauliruegas Dear @cleeds : I think you are wrong or have a misunderstood. No, I've actually heard the system. While the strain gauge is not a perfect complement to the RIAA curve, it's close. If you think your conventional phono c... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other rsf507 @cleeds when you say regarding the SM strain gauge "I’ve heard the Soundsmith system and while it may not be to my taste" what did you not like about it? I heard the SM strain gauge at Soundsmith - using a VPI HRX table and ... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. bdp24 @onhwy61 has it right. Done correctly, Dolby does NOT change the original tonal structure (timbre) of instruments or vocalists. It takes the original signal and boosts the high frequencies for recording, in playback reducing the high ... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other okogear The spindle is purposely not threaded so not sure how a lightweight clamp would attach or work. There are clamps that rely on friction fit to secure the LP. I think the original was The Pig clamp but there are others - KAB makes o... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other rauliruegas The SS design can’t mimic the necessary inverse RIAA eq because its design is " different " and that’s why comes with its dedicated phono stage, you can’s use it with any other phono stage. No, it’s a design for other kind... | |
| RIP oregonpapa Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this, but thanks for letting us know. Of course I send my best to his family and friends. He'll surely be missed here. | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. elliottbnewcombjr ... similarly 8 track cartridges, before cassettes, the ultimate piece of crap, were initially made for use in radio stations for advertisements (not much tape (i.e. less weight thus less force/abuse involved), And a moving... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity roxy54 Same post from two different members. How does that happen? Sockpuppets. It's what some users do when they get banned from the group - they simply return under new usernames. Remember attdavid, davidcan, daviddid, audio... | |
| RCA Splitter to convert a single RCA output into two The splitter should work but your tube preamp's output will be driving a lower and lower effective impedance as you add amplifiers. That could pose an issue, especially for a tube preamp because they tend to have high-ish output impedances. | |
| Is teflon based lubricating spray bad for tonearm bearings? What's the manufacturer's recommendation? | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity yuviarora ... another study conducted by a well known cardiologist, who wished to remain anonymous ... I’m really trying to stay out of this dumpster fire thread but that’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day. |
