Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning
chris_w_ukThat would be assuming the identical piece of equipment being used at 110V and 240V, whereas the equipment would be built for the particular voltage being used, so both pieces of equipment would be different so they produce the same Watt... 
Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning
chris_w_ukYou’re confused, and now you’re comparing apples with oranges.1000Watts @ 240V - 1000/240 = 4.16 Amps1000Watts @ 110V - 1000/110 = 9.09 AmpsMy point being if connections are not perfect trying to pass 9.09 Amps through them will cause mo...

chris_w_uk... maybe 230V as opposed to 110V has something to do with it? I don’t know, apart from 230V equipment drawing roughly 50% the current of 110V.You're confused. For any given load, the current will be the same as 120VAC as it is at 240... 
Absolute Polarity Switch
mijostyn@cleeds, believe it or not my system is just fine and so is my hearing.I think it's great that you're happy with your system as-is. You've already acknowledged a number of problems with it - including LF disturbances that are lower in fre... 
Calling all Sota fans.
mijostyn... I put my deposit in 8 months ago and I sold my old Sota at about the same time. This is the longest period of time in my entire life from the age of 4 that I have not been able to play a record.Arrrrgh! I hope you get your new table so...

mijostynI have stated on many occasions that the Dohmann Helix is my ultimate turntable.Yes, but have you actually seen or heard one yet? Because without that, your enthusiasm and endorsement don't mean much. My completed Cosmos Vacuum with a Sch... 
Absolute Polarity Switch
mijostyn ... It should not make any difference at all and on my system it does not. I can flip back and forth by remote control from the listening position ...Many users can detect a change in their system’s polarity. It’s dependent on the recordi... 
Up grade to a new turntable
hshifi... After I adjusted the VTA for typical thickness of vinyl I grabbed a 180 gram record and marked the spot for that. This way you can literally adjust the VTA very quickly by the thickness of the album with the markings on the VTA dial ...... 
systemdek IIX motor stopped working
Maybe the motor just needs a drop or two of oil. 
Up grade to a new turntable
mijostynVTA on the fly is highly over rated and can be detrimental to the performance of the tonearm. On this subject I think Michael Fremer is correct. C'mon, where did Fremer ever say that???@mijostyn, it increasingly looks like you just l... 
Daily Record cleaning
bdp24New LP’s "clean"? Don’t make me laugh.You’re right, of course, but there are some that just don’t understand. Most of the dust they remove from their styli originated on the LP itself. There’s nothing like listening to a clean LP and one-butt... 
Subwoofer matching
mijostyn... From a measurement and functional standpoint subs are better off in corners and against walls. They are up to 6 dB more efficient in these locations and there is less room interaction. @mijostyn I have to believe that some of the LF pr...

elliottbnewcombjr There's a limit to how long a length litz wires should be ...I didn't know that there was such an issue with Litz wires. What is the limit? (Of course, it's generally a good idea to keep phono cables as short as possible.)... no...

jpwarren58 Do you think we strive to return to the past and remain in those influential times?It's impossible to return to the past. What would be the point of even trying?
