| Wally Tools to Offer a New Service. pindacThe Terminology is not off importance, the need to investigate and carry out the additional alignments are the practices that have importance.Actually the terminology matters very much, as it does in any pursuit. Only by mutual agreement... | |
| Wally Tools to Offer a New Service. mijostyn ... the definition I learned for zenith is the point in the sky directly over your head. I have no idea how that relates to horizontal tracking angle. Lateral tracking angle would probably be a better term but "twist"is short and swee... | |
| Wally Tools to Offer a New Service. mijostyn A "new" parameter is discussed which they are calling "zenith." I have always called it "twist" ...It’s not a new term at all. Zenith = Horizontal Tracking Angle. It's an often overlooked alignment factor and one reason I prefer mirrored... | |

| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum spatialking ... The Dolby equalization curve concept is no different than the RIAA concept we all live with when we play vinyl. There is a Dolby pre-equalization of the music and a post equalization when playing, which reduces hiss ...Dolby a... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum noromanceDolby effectively filtered frequencies (-3 dB at 600 Hz/ -6 dB at 1.2 kHz/ -8 dB at 2.4 kHz/ -10 dB at 5 kHz) resulting in a removal of ambient information. Back in the 80s, we never used Dolby B or C as both sounded worse than the cl... | |
| Please Educate Me peteraudio21Digital information is discrete, analogue information is essentially continuous. The pressure waves that come to your ears are continuous. How you convert the discrete information into continuous by interpolation is one of the mai... | |
| Help: Anthem STR dac vs Bryston BDA-1 and others - sounds the same to me jasonbourne52A DAC is NOT a computer! Hence NO programmingA DAC is very much a computer. How else do you think a DAC can perform the mathematical computations necessary to convert digital code to an analog signal? | |
