| Tekton Double Impacts lpretiringOne of the things that fascinates me about this hobby is how ubiquitous it isHuh? You find high-end audio ubiquitous? Where do you live? In my part of the world, it's very much esoteric. | |
| Why does FM radio sound so good? lowrider57Carts were clunky, but the later generation of tape decks used to rec/playback were first-rate. When making a promo or any recording, you would hit a button and a cue tone would be recorded into the tape.Yup! The best cart machines h... | |
| Turntables Neither of these is "best."As to which is better than the other: These models are so old that the answer to that probably relies on the actual condition of each one. | |
| Tuner or Receiver yogiboy The only problem is good outdoor FM directional antennas are not made anymore! It is very difficult to find good outdoor FM antennas and @jl35 is correct that many TV antennas have traps for FM. They are sometimes removable, but I ... | |
| Tuner or Receiver erik_squiresIn my mind, the FM tuner has by and large been replaced by Internet radio. While we can argue sound quality, issues of reception are more or less fixed given a stable Internet connection. Given good reception conditions (a reasona... | |
| To Float or not to Float... georgehifi... This way there is no "earth loop" via the grounds and your house earthing. As all earths are carried to the all three components via the interconnects to the ones that aren't ...This is extremely dangerous - interconnects are not ... | |
| Why does FM radio sound so good? I can add to this. In the vinyl era, many radio stations also used broadcast tape cartridges for a lot of content: spots, promos, jingles, news actualities and music. These look like an 8-track cartridge, but differ because the rubber capstan isn’... | |
| Tuner or Receiver yogiboyTuner technology has not changed.Oh no, this is quite mistaken. While at the low-end of the market things may be the same, there has been tremendous change at the upper-end by using DSP. There are a few tuners that take advantage of this,... | |
| Tuner or Receiver billbartuskaI have a Yamaha CR-1020 (1977 - 1980) that has an excellent tuner. You can even tune out multipath distortion (from signals bouncing off buildings)..That's interesting. Will you please explain how it "tunes out" multipath distortion? | |
| $100,000 line stage georgehifiI see it as a money grabbing whore taking advantage of a rich fool and his money.You're free to see it anyway you like, of course. But why so angry? Why so judgmental of how other people choose to spend their money? Why assume that beca... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D halcroI dislike parallel trackers. Not as a matter of preference (although the Air Tangent had serious problems) but more for their aesthetic demands ...@halcro that's what I mean by preference. Judging by aesthetics is very much a subjective p... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) atmasphereMy only beef is that the new SP-10 has the same failings as all the earlier ones: the plinth is not set up right to accommodate a tone arm!I'm not sure what you mean, Ralph - the SP-10 was always offered as a motor drive unit (like De... | |
| Vibrapod Cone - Do these make a difference? It's never a good idea to install audio components directly on top of carpeting - it can only compromise ventilation. Anything you can do to get them off the floor is a good idea. | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D billstevenson09-08-2017 12:01am ... it is becoming obvious that you are ignorant of the scientific method. What I offered were several indirect proofs that unipivot arms perform well ... You claim to know what you are doing, but this belies ... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D billstevenson... may I suggest that we agree that there is no one, single, absolute "right" way to do anything in audio ...Of course you may suggest that, and I’d agree. The problem is that there are some self-appointed "experts" here who insist t... |
