| Oh no, there's metal in your records! moonglum According to one of the World’s top cartridge makers/builders/re-builders, acquired magnetic particulates inside the cartridge generator are not an occasional occurrence (as I would have thought and implied earlier) but a surprisin... | |
| Stereo Subwoofer Pairing willemjDeep bass is not directional, and that has been shown by a lot of research. Yet, as some have argued here, it may sound as if these deep bass notes do indeed emanate from different speakers. The explanation is that the human brain uses the ... | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II folkfreak@cleeds if you did some research on the SMARTractor you would be aware that is a system that includes a magnifier, a mirrored high precision gauge and a very accurate P2S system. In other words about as close to perfect alignment as ... | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II last_lemming I align the cantilever not the bodyDid you align while looking at the cantilever, or a reflection of the cantilever? Did you use a magnifier? What are you using to measure VTA? | |
| Gain into my preamp from DAC mesch Cleeds, I am not sure that the input portion of a single ended device can't be configured to accept both signals from a balanced device when connected via XLR such that the 6 dB gain is enforced. I think you're assuming that an XLR conne... | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II last_lemming I tried lowering VTA ended almost had no affect ...It still sounds like an alignment issue. Please explain how you used your alignment gauge to ensure proper tangency. Hint: If you aligned the cartridge body rather than the cantilev... | |
| Tube or Trasistor vtvmtodvmThe point is that there are NOT many vacuum tube products now being manufactured. World-wide, receiving-type vacuum tube products now comprise near-negligible numbers. It's purely limited to some hi-end audiophile products and guita... | |
| Stereo Subwoofer Pairing noble100 Where’d you get the idea that stereo subs would be a good idea? Or even discernable. Use of multiple subs can minimize rooms nodes so, depending on the room, it can be an excellent solution to achieving flat in-room low frequency response... | |
| Gain into my preamp from DAC If your preamplifier is not balanced, then you won't get higher gain on the XLR inputs because it's using them single-ended. | |
| Tube or Trasistor vtvmtodvm Tubes reflect their Neo-Victorian vintage ... they’re just not high precision parts ... Tube boosters reply that “my ears are more accurate than your instruments”, but their faith is mired in groupthink. There’s no credible A/B/X aur... | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II This sounds like an alignment issue. What tools are you using to confirm the accuracy of your tangency, azimuth and VTA/SRA settings? | |
| KLH Burwen TNE 7000A Transient Noise Eliminator ... whenever the transient noise eliminator LED lit, I heard a tick (although it could have been a hole in the music from the removal of a noise impulse). If this is the case, should I hear this hole in the music? No, you should not hear a "hole i... | |
| Does Bi-amping double the power? What you're describing will not increase the power delivered to your loudspeakers and is not "biamping." If you want to biamp a pair of speakers, you'll need two stereo (two-channel) amps, or four mono amps, or two mono amps and one stereo amp. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable bar81... I decided that $30k ish was my upper limit for any amp. Then I heard the D’Agostino M400 and decided that it would increase my personal enjoyment of my system to such a degree, that although I still deemed the price ridiculous, it would ... | |
| How To Properly Bi-Amp (Sonic Frontiers Line 2 to Two Amps to power Infinity Kappa 9's) brettmcee Still, how would one split an output signal from the preamp to feed the two amps? Should I just use the multiple outs from the preamp?To take advantage of biamplification, you really need an xover between your preamp and amplifiers. ... |
