| AR VT80SE compated to Ref 75SE amp discussion jjss49... the vt80se doesn’t have balanced topology - they just give you one set of xlr inputs for convenience if you only have a balanced source, but the circuitry is not balanced ...I think you are mistaken. ARC is noted for its differential amp... | |
| If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it… mijostynSoldering is easy. The key is a hot iron and speed. @mijostyn issues so many mistaken pronouncements that it’s hard to keep up, but this one’s a real Dusey. Soldering is a tricky business. The keys are an iron of the proper temperature (ho... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier vetusto ... the question is: what is the output impedance of Pass Labs X2.5?According to the manual, 360 balanced 150 unbalanced. | |
| Recommendations on Hooking Up Dual Subwoofers and Speakers Yes, I think the splitter is the best option for you here. | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp holmzThe majority of ground loop problems are predominantly due to magnetic fields and coupling of those fields.No, that's not at all true. A ground loop - by definition - is two or more paths to ground of different potential. (Voltage.) It is as... | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. stagerThe best cassette decks like the Nakamichi Dragon or any of several other high performance Naks (I have a 682ZX) or Tandberg or 3 head Tascams, using Dolby B, are capable of recording a signal with wider frequency bandwidth and less n... | |
| Recommendations on Hooking Up Dual Subwoofers and Speakers ja_kub_sz ... (Technics SU-R1000) only has one unbalanced "pre-out" and one unbalanced "rec-out" and I want to run dual subs. Ideally stereo sub set up, but open to mono subs if necessary. Could I just run RCA cables from the left channels o... | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 noromanceLooks like " sensesundertime" left the house and deleted all posts from their profile which is a shamePerhaps he was a victim of his own posts. Many of his "facts" were confused and he was struggling to keep up. | |

| Quboz/Aurender Issue lalitkDid you contact Aurender customer support? ...waltersalas Yes, I did. So far, we have not been able to find a solutionGood luck. I had issues with Aurender as well. My solution was finally to dump it in favor of a Bryston. | |
| What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable? lewm... The question then was not "whether" VTF goes up when the pivot point is raised, but "how much" does it go up. Someone did the experiment, and the answer was "not very much", but definitely VTF went UP.Yes, it goes up, and it's easily ... | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? sensesundertimeMany opine about so called time and phase correct loudspeakers but alas the facts are that there is no correlation to these being preferred to others that don't quite emphasize this trait.Really? Do you have actual data to suppo... | |
| What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable? lewm... you and a friend are carrying a sofa. On level ground, the burden is equally shared. Now you have to carry the sofa up a staircase. Who is working harder? The guy at the top end or the guy at the bottom end? Raising the pivot point shifts... | |
| What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable? wlutkecleeds,Wrong. On a unipivot the balance changes and I am correct. You’re comparing VTF and VTA. Two different parameters. You’re obviously confused.VTA = Vertical Tracking Angle. Shown here.VTF= Vertical Tracking Force. That’s the weight (f... | |
| What angle should I set the VTA on my VPI turntable? wlutkeWhen VTA is changed, adjusting the tail up decreases VTF. Just the opposite: Raising the "tail" (pivot) will increase VTA.See VTA/SRA diagram here. |
