| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? I do not think "most" audiophiles like distortion. Indeed, most audiophiles spend a lot of effort and money trying to reduce it, imo.But there are those who enjoy euphonic distortion. For example, one thread here got in to quite a bust-up when a u... | |
| cartridge cost/quality/performance cd318Nothing matters more than tracking performance. Especially that final furlong as you approach the run out groove..Actually, it's not inherently difficult to track an LP runout track. It's common for audiophiles to claim a cartridge "tracks... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. I have the Klaudio cleaner and have had no problem with loss of HF. The machine itself is a little noisy, but Klaudio makes a noise reduction cabinet for it which works quite well. | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? What tools did you use to set overhang, azimuth, and VTA/SRA? | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? I think "audio nervosa" and the image of the audiophile as on an endless path of upgrades and expense is just a stereotype. Sure, there are those who fit the stereotype, but it’s no more than that. Based on what I see, most people who own high-end... | |
| WANTED: A remote control for my Audio Research CD1. n80The Harmony remotes work on my AR LS-16 but only a few of the functions. You cannot change inputs with the Harmony. Pretty much just volume. So a Harmony helps but it is not the complete solution.The Harmony 650 has the ability to "learn" ... | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? mrdecibelWe were shown a video of a stylus tracking a record ( recorded microscopically, and blown up on a large screen ) ... we saw little pieces of the record vinyl being torn away from the record, as the stylus passed over.I find this very di... | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? It is most certainly possible to have nearly noise-free LPs. It takes a good LP start with, proper turntable setup, a way to keep records clean (I use ultrasonic), and a good phono preamp. All of these elements combined are the reason that many pe... | |
| Pre-Preamp? I agree with Elizabeth - the SP-11 is a terrific preamp and may be worth keeping. I bought mine new - trading in an SP-10 - and used it for decades before replacing it a few years ago with a Ref 5SE. I sold the SP-11 to a friend who still uses it ... | |
| Reel to reel orpheus10We have been discussing an aspect of R2R that only those who have had considerable experience are aware of ... Without a doubt, this takes you beyond the most expensive cartridge, TT, tone arm, phono pre combination. While you need ... | |

| The JC Whitney syndrome JC Whitney is still very much in business, so I'm not sure why you refer to the company in the past tense. | |
| The Science of Cables elizabethSeems we have entered "The Twilight Zone" This thread is about the science of cables. I think the moderators are simply trying to keep it from being hijacked by those who want to tell us how they can prove we’re effin’ stupid because we ... | |
| Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable? It's been done; the results were mixed. (I'm being kind.) Feel free to design something better. | |
