| VTF gauge millercarbonThe Shure stylus force gauge is a plastic and metal teeter-totter.... that the carefully used is about as accurate as any digital gauge ...The Shure is accurate as far as it goes, but it's nowhere near as precise as a good digital g... | |
| Ok guys crustycootI’ve seen low mass arms so attracted by static from the dustcover that they are lifted right off the record! Stands to reason that less static can also attract the arm, even if not enough for full lift-off.B-i-n-g-o! Give this man a gold... | |
| It looks like a debate to me. desktopguy I'm not a "hobbyist." My love of music (which propels all my audio systems appreciation), has way more amplitude than that snarky word can convey.What is it about the word "hobbyist" that you think is snarky? There are many more hob... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs mijostynCleeds, since when is a resonance point a "brick wall" situation.I’m not aware that any person has made such suggestion, so it’s not clear why you’d ask that question. If your woofers do not move at all visibly and you are playing vinyl ei... | |
| Lets talk dedicated lines danvignau I use a dedicated 30 amp line to power my system, and it works great.In many jurisdictions, that would require the use of 30A receptacles, which would in turn mean that you'd need to modify your equipment to have 30A plugs, or otherw... | |
| Any audible difference between cheap and expensive BNC cables? samiamnot The dealer I bought my turntable from has a NORDOST Silver Shadow BNC to BNC at 50% off for just under $300. I'm just wondering what kind of difference, if any, I'd get in sound from upgrading ... Any thoughts?Why not borrow the ca... | |
| Which DAC makers let you do in home trial? hilde45 I'm interested in comparing some DACS for purchase, maximum price about $1600, let's say. Auditioning them is a hope. A good dealer will loan you a DAC for evaluation. | |
| VPI Turntable Motor Pop - Did I Damage My Analog System? If your digital sounds ok, then you can probably rule out the speakers and integrated amp as having any issue, and it’s difficult to imagine that your phono stage was somehow damaged by this incident.That leaves your phono cartridge as the most li... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs mijostynAre you using digital room control?No. ... even if you have your tonearm set at say 12 Hz there is still going to be plenty of rubbish below 10 Hz that is going to get through.Not so. Not even close.I understand that this will be a proble... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs mijostyn IMHO anyone who listens to vinyl and has a subwoofer system needs a subsonic filter. Why?Why not treat the problem at the source? | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs mhmeyersUse of a Subsonic filter or a preamp with one built in is almost a MUST when playing LPs.Such filters are necessary when there is such a profound pickup arm/phono cartridge mismatch, as in the example shown in the linked Youtube video. If... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs It sure looks to me like a stellar example of pickup arm/phono cartridge mismatch. | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs millercarbon... A certain amount of very low frequency woofer excursion with records is perfectly normal ...Perhaps it’s "normal" for your system, but that needn’t happen in the absence of a signal and if it does, you’re wasting amplifier power an... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware erik_squires ... with upsampling, you are not generating more data ...Correct.There’s no more clarity or resolution, or harmonics ...Not necessarily, although if present, it would not be a consequence of more data, but more likely attributable t... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware erik_squires Given that the Mytek was better in all ways AND also had such a slim difference in performance I concluded that maybe the problem was not the data, as we have so often thought, but how well the DACs behaved with Redbook.That's ce... |
