| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors jls001And regarding mirrored surface for aligning the cantilever, use any small mirror.That won't work. You'll need a mirrored gauge that includes an etched line that's used - along with the reflection of the cantilever - to achieve proper orien... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors melmWhen you wrote, "This is why Mint protractors are made one by one for each tonearm." it seemed you were ascribing greater precision to them, which would be incorrect. IMO the arc protractor, which was introduced originally by Wally Malewicz, ... | |
| Yanni or Laurel? tls49Yes, our ability to hear correctly can be misleading at times.That’s not the issue here at all with the Laurel vs. Yanni question. In this instance, different people listening to the same thing hear consistently different results. Some hear "... | |
| Furman solves ground loop issue? engineears ... a different system with a headphone amplifier connected to a DAC with a pair of XLR cables in a balanced differential setup was getting horrendous ground hum ... I snapped both ground pins off the (removable) power cables. Hum gon... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors fselletIf you print an arc protractor on photo paper, it will give you the same precision as the Mint, minus the mirror for azimuth.This is mistaken, and shows you don't really understand the basics of phono cartridge setup.The value of the mirro... | |
| Furman solves ground loop issue? Many things can cause hum in an audio system - it's not always a ground loop. What do you mean when you say the problem is only with analog? Do you mean only the phono stage, or any analog input?It would be helpful if you tell us more about the eq... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors helomechIf you want utmost accuracy, believe it or not, the best protractors are free.I couldn't disagree more, and have long thought the cause of many complaints about LP playback are rooted in improper setup.The Achilles Heal of most alignment ... | |
| Am i missing something without a power conditioner? boa_constrictorPower conditioning (AC voltage regulator and RF noise eliminator) is a good thing to have provided:1- the AC power your utility supplies is not stable and not clean ....How do you know if the power supplied is stable or not?I use... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? dillYou need to be careful with solid core PC's. Too much bending can lead to wire fracture.Solid core for power is usually limited to permanent installations. I do not think any UL-listed component or appliance power cord is solid core. | |
| Talk but not walk? michaelgreenaudioYour making an issue when there isn't one buddy. I'm totally hip with observationGreat - we're on the same page. If only every forum issue could be so easily resolved!And I've often asked the same thing as you in your first post:... | |
| Talk but not walk? michaelgreenaudio Ever read someone talk about a recording on here calling it terrible, and you've played that same recording on your setup and it sounds great? ... Someone somewhere is listening to "that" recording and it sounds fantastic. ... | |
| Talk but not walk? michaelgreenaudio Hi cleedsIt's only theory until you do it, and then my friend it becomes science. But like the OP (me) is saying is, your choosing not to make your system play it. You actually don't know anything about my system, or how I've... | |
| Talk but not walk? Sorry, Michael Green, but "empirical" means based on observation rather than based on theory. I don't have to do anything - other than listen - to have empirical evidence. And that's what your post sought, based on your own words:" ... folks are ... | |
| Talk but not walk? michaelgreenaudio I see a lot on here where people will call a recording "bad" ... they say their system is revealing instead of saying their system can’t play that recording. It’s like they can’t take responsibility for their sound. Empirically s... | |
| Talk but not walk? brfscientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon supported by a large body of empirical data. If we have an observed phenomenon in which is supported by large body of empirical data, why do you feel the need for more va... |
