| Tekton Double Impacts charles1dad... My point is that in "practical" terms 35 db is an excessive amount of gain for particularly a preamplifier/line stage.It sure seems to be excessive! What is the supposed advantage of such high gain in a line stage? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts almargCleeds, I wouldn’t by any means say that Charles is "completely mistaken." While it is of course true that there are differences in the taper characteristics of various volume controls ...That was the only aspect of his post to which I r... | |
| Gryphon and Ypsilon price lists inna $11.2k for the least expensive Gryphon integrated for ten years wouldn't be so bad if acceptable financing was available.I'm not sure how the availability of financing and the calculation of value are related, or even what "acceptable finan... | |
| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... devilboyIf you truly want to hear what your amplifier sounds like, the most logical approach would be to have speaker wire that is exactly the same wire that goes to your amp’s binding postsThat's not logical at all, because the length of a ca... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts charles1dad... regarding the preamplifier gain issue, 35 db is far too much for virtually any audio system to utilize. You’d literally have no range of the volume control i.e. one click above the 8 o’clock V.C. knob and it’d be too loud even i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It could be a flugelhorn, which is similar to a mellophone, although they play in different keys. | |
| Stylus force digital scales doverI do agree that the deviation in VTF with dynamically balanced arms will be less than statically balanced arms on warps, but don't agree that VTF can be precisely maintained over a warp even with dynamic balancing, unless of course you ... | |
| Stylus force digital scales dover. ... Most dynamic balancing is applied with a spring which is designed to provide a restorative force to the arm. The actual tracking force at the stylus will be unpredictable and variable depending on the cartridge compliance, size and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ghosthouseAnyone know the kind of horn Hugh Masakela is holding? Very clearly seen at 6:25 and 8:22. A variant on trumpet? It's a mellophone. | |
| Stylus force digital scales Also, if you use a dynamically balanced arm, VTF will remain constant even while playing a warped record. | |
| Stylus force digital scales lewm... gravity is a constant for any particular location on earth, however, actual VTF will vary depending upon where the tonearm is located in its vertical arc. This happens when you play a warped LP, for exampleVarying VTF while playing a... | |
| Stylus force digital scales chakster... the problem with cheap digital scales and with mechanical scales is that all of them have different thickness, normally thicker than vinyl record, so they are incorrect, because the stylus is not leveled right. Gravity is a const... | |

| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? willemjAnd yet, none of them are as neutral and reproduce the original as cleanly, with as little distortion, and with as much channel separation as a cd/dvd/bd disc player of a few hundred dollars at most. As I said, such cartridges are the empe... |
