| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable Okay here's another thread where obviously mijostyn and clearthink want to talk about things other than audio, so I'll exit here. I guess these guys are really amused with themselves. | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable mijostynAC is the preferred way of transmitting electricity to customers because it is way safer, more efficient and lower maintenance than DC.Oh no, AC is not safer than DC - that was Edison’s argument when he was battling it out over power distr... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid mijostyncleeds I must be a genius ...Ha ha.Lets see how perceptive you are. Lets run an experiment. Get a big frying pan ...Please feel free to run your own experiments. If you choose to do that, you’ll need to employ a "control" if you want it to... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander twoleftearsThere are biases and there are vested interests. Big difference.No, not necessarily. Bias is bias is bias is bias. And that's probably why dealers are permitted to contribute here. | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable sleepwalker65 AC frequency, which before accounting for noise from other sources can vary by up to +/-2Hz ...Please explain how noise affects AC frequency and how you arrived at this spec. Noise that breaks the synchronization can increase this ... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile I guess these guys want to chat about things other than audio and stylus profiles, so I’ll take the cue and exit this thread right here. Maybe I’ll alert the moderators if I get around to it. Meanwhile, I’ll let the "arguments" from mijostyn and c... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation It’s difficult to imagine how a manufacturer with a direct sales model could have this for a return policy:"Prepayment by Bank Transfer, Certified Check, or Money Order. NO REFUNDS or EXCHANGES- NO EXCEPTIONS"... to which I would add "NO SALE!" No... | |
| Re-tip or Replace? agrippaThe only scams I've ever been a victim of has been right here on Audiogon.That's interesting, because your Audiogon profile shows you've never bought or sold anything here. | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid mijostynDenatured alcohol is bad news on vinyl but Isopropyl is fine. The matter of whether alcohol solvents are safe on LPs has been the subject of such debate for so long that I don’t think you can authoritatively state that "Isopropyl is fine."... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile mijostynit takes more force to move the stylus of a less compliant (stiffer) cartridge than a more compliant (softer) cartridge.Intuitively, that seems correct - but you can’t be sure sure that it works that way in practice. You’re not accounting... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander twoleftears ... there have been more than enough contributions to this thread for the OP to judge for himself who is trying to give disinterested suggestions and advice, and who approaches the whole thing with a bunch of biases.Pretty much eve... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile agrippaSure, tracking *might* be a slight factor, but like mijostyn says above it's hard to find a modern cartridge which doesn't track quite well or better. That depends on what you mean by "doesn't track quite well." If you're stating that m... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! mahlman ... wouldn't it be a hoot to get these guys to do double blind testing ...What are you waiting for? Why don't you organize some double-blind testing of your own? | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile mijostynIn terms of record wear there are other variables than stylus profile like compliance and tracking force.How could a phono cartridge's compliance have any affect on record wear? I don't see any correlation between the two at all. | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile mijostynAny cartridge is going to sound better when it is set up properly.Obviously!Tracking is paramount.Oh no, I couldn't disagree more.I often read user comments here about phono cartridges that proclaim, "excellent tracker!" when, in fact, ... |
