Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me)
tatyana69 So the quadraphonic lps need a special cartridge ... and phonostage then. So presumably playing with a normal cartridge and phonostage some channels are missing, hence maybe a weaker sound for a number of reasons, presumably, from ... 
Looking for Klimo distributor or contact information
You might want to check with Hart at Audio Advancements. I'm pretty sure that he was once the importer of Klimo is the U.S. 
Crosley should be arrested for selling junk
chaksterIt’s about cartridge, not a turntable ...Oh no, not at all. Good LP playback requires a proper turntable, and a proper pickup arm, and a proper phono cartridge, and a proper phono preamp. They must each be suited to the others, and they mu... 
Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me)
chaksterQuadraphonic Records (Descrete-4 or CD-4) require special cartridge and special processor, also 4 speakersCD-4 was only one of the quad LP formats, although I think it may have been the only discrete format for LP.  SQ and QS were competi... 
Crosley should be arrested for selling junk
mapmanIn the golden age of vinyl 99% of record players out there were similar junk. That % is probably actually lower these days. More like 98%. I'm not sure I agree with these percentages, but I agree with the general observation: most turntable... 
Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response
kosst_amojanThe 948's, with their hideous impedance low point of 2.5 ohm ...I'm not sure why you call this is "hideous." Many competent amplifiers can drive such a load.  
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
kosst_amojan...  what you think you're hearing IS pure belief and NOT proof in the slightest. Such a semantically obvious fact illustrates how deeply confused you people are about the difference between belief and facts ... I've never seen a... 
Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me)
tatyana69 If normal analogue comes through as 2 channel, what effect does a quadraphonic record have? It isn’t clear what you mean by "normal analog." Analog can be any number of channels. Two-channel stereo is just one configuration.In any event,... 
Snake oil and tweaks that work!
hifiman5To me, at least, "snake oil" is a pejorative for tweaking.I am inclined to agree.  There are a few posters here that seem poised to pounce on subjective evaluations, chiming in with demands for level-matched double blind testing, for exam... 
Can't we all just get along?
czariveyDontcha realize that audiophile world is a nutshell full of propaganda and brainwash ...Actually, no , and I've been into the high-end for decades. Perhaps you could offer some examples, rather than simply state opinion as fact.When ma... 
Snake oil and tweaks that work!
hifiman5... Whatever your belief system about audio engineering or snake oil (whatever that is) ..."Snake oil" seems to be whatever kosst says it is.  
Snake oil and tweaks that work!
kosst_amojan658 posts12-11-2017 9:08pmI can't believe I'm reading somebody deriding engineers for being obsessed with good circuits and not considering snake oil enough.It's okay, because I don't believe that you have that read that. Who here ... 
Which watts are the right watts in SS amps?
willemjWell, it is a free world, fortunately.Actually, no it isn't. Not even close. Unfortunately.  
Can't we all just get along?
randy-11the problem with any listening in a sighted test is confirmation bias That's simply silly. For example, there are many instances where the listener in a sighted test expected no improvement at all, or expected the result to be a detrime... 
Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit?
defiantboomerang Whatever happened to understanding science and engineering instead of relying on subjective assessments of "sound quality". The two are not mutually exclusive. In any event, this is a hobbyist’s group, not an engineering forum, ...
