| A challenge to all turntable manufacturers looscannon You still have a stylus tracing the groove. Tracing the groove is the hardest part not the conversion to an electrical signal.Opinion stated as fact. Constructing a quality phono preamp section is a challenging task and there’s no easy ... | |
| Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?... mtdiningThe vast majority of people agree that low distortion, flat and extended frequency response is best.That's silly. I don't think the vast majority of people even know what "frequency response" is. | |
| Fuzzy distortion on vinyl........Stylus issue? This really could caused by so many things. Is this a new problem, or have you experienced this before?It could be a worn or dirty stylus or misaligned cartridge or pickup arm. It could be dirt on your LPs. It could be an issue with your phono sta... | |
| Jazz for aficionados (removed) I followed the thread even though I rarely (if ever) posted in it and don’t know what its most recent posts might have said. But there are a few users here who go out of their way to inject politics into their discussions and they can derail the c... | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other mikelavigne a cassette tape is 1/4" tape, 4 track, and auto reversing, running at 1 and 7/8th ips. ’4-track’ means 4 tracks on a 1/4" tape. those tracks are tiny, and the sound, while nice on a good cassette, is nothing to write home about. ... | |
| A challenge to all turntable manufacturers jchiappinelli ... a laser pickup is a technical marvel. If it can read the nano sized pits on a CD, surely the technology exists for someone to make laser pickup to read the hills and valleys of an LP pressing without converting it to one's ... | |
| Azimuth 2020 looscannonIt seems there might be a problem with definitions here. With any offset arm changing the VTA ...Good point, and it is quite likely that you are correct. I suspected earlier in the thread that some here did not understand some of these... | |
| Azimuth 2020 melm ... you are still incorrect if you are talking about a pivoted arm with an offset. If the pickup arm’s pivot angle is perpendicular to the offset, changing VTA will not alter azimuth. (Disclaimer: that applies only if the arm is properly c... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive looscannonThe AR XA was a ground breaking turntable. Not only was it less expensive than everything else. It was also better performing and not by a little. It's only over site was the lack of anti skate.The AR turntable was indeed groundbreak... | |
| Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways There’s some really good analysis of rock music in this thread. I could quibble with bits of it, but that’s all it would be.Still, I couldn’t help but recall this classic scene from the film "Diner." In a way, I can relate to each of the character... | |
| Azimuth 2020 looscannon ... it would seem to me cleeds that you might own certain people and apology. I don’t condone hot headed behavior ...I’m not sure I understand you. Are you suggesting that I apologize to the two users who the moderators independently de... | |
| Azimuth 2020 luisma31I missed something with cleeds, did he was threatened through a PM?No, I was threatened right here on this thread. The posts were deleted and the two users given a "time out." Pathetic. | |
| What makes for a "good" musician? millercarbonA good musician is fluent with and able to read music ...Hmmm, that would omit John Lennon and the rest of the Beatles. Dylan. Stevie Wonder. Clapton.It always struck me odd because reading music isn’t difficult. But I learned when I ... | |
| Phasemation EA-200 phonostage - opinions lewmPhase Tech is a prominent name in audio showrooms in Tokyo. So, they are not "fly by night". Non-sequitor. In any event, I didn’t know that Phasemation was using the Phase Tech name again. Your experience and that of the OP are probably a ref... | |
| Phasemation EA-200 phonostage - opinions Phasemation used to call themselves Phase Tech. I own one of its phono cartridges and somehow misplaced its stylus guard. I sought to replace it and emailed both the importer (which is who I bought the cartridge from) and the manufacturer directly... |
