| Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII nandric ... carts which track 70 microns with my FR-64 s can't track more than 50 microns with the Triplanar ... These two arms each have a very different effective mass, with the Fidelity Research being much higher than the Triplanar. So I wo... | |
| Dipole Asymmetry imgoodwithtools I am considering purchase of a pair of Martin Logan Summit X speakers. In my room, I am somewhat constrained for speaker placement. I could place the speakers about 3-4 feet off the front wall. My main concern is my audio rac... | |
| THE WALL---Why? warmglowingtubesart The dealer then came out and measured the electric current in the house, and decided that I needed a power plant because of the poor and fluctuating current provided by PG & E ...The current in your house should only fl... | |
| THE WALL---Why? gdhal1... I'm on a dedicated outlet, voltage varies - on an intraday basis - between 116 and 123 volts inclusive. Naturally I cannot detect any audible difference. Not entirely sure, but I thought 120 was the goal/optimum.There is some variati... | |
| Vinyl VS Digital ap_wannabe OPHas anyone else heard a sound stage difference between the same recordings at the same volume vinyl versus CD. It is so pronounced in my system. On digital recordings its as if I had a center speaker playing. On albums there is... | |
| THE WALL---Why? cousinbillylHere in Ontario, Hydro plays games with our electricity. We are often at 125V or higher ...Actually, 125VAC is a very good voltage, just slightly over the nominal 123VAC that's the common standard in North America. | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? mitch2Audiophiles want cables to solve all their perceived system shortcomings and transport them to the perfect anechoic listening room where everything sounds exactly as a live performance.Fortunately, for cable manufacturers, audiophiles ... | |
| TurnTable Quest innaAnything without VPI logo.. My statement is just as valid as the previous poster's.You're just being silly. For example, even the simplest VPI trounces a Crosley turntable. So while it's fine to be contrarian, it isn't of any help if the onl... | |

| Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen hifiman5"Born in the USA" invalidates any discussion of Springsteen.If you run every artist through a judgmental political filter, you're going to miss out on a lot of great art, including music. I've never understood those who will only associat... | |
| Anyone else having trouble getting cartridges back they sent for repair? mapmanIt used to be pretty much all cartridges of all types had replaceable styli years ago during the "golden age".Sorry, but you're mistaken. MC cartridges have never had user replaceable styli. | |
| New Transformer on the Pole @gdhal, my reference to a voltage change wasn't to the nominal voltage of your service, but to a possible change to the primary (distribution) voltage before it gets to your transformer. I speculate that because changing transformers is a pricey p... | |
| New Transformer on the Pole It's very likely that the change in transformer was part of other changes in the utility's distribution circuit, including a possible change in the voltage of the distribution circuit itself, improvements made at the electric substation and even p... | |
| High end UPS for Expensive audio eequipments westom09-14-2016 1:40pm You have confused resistance with impedance. No, I'm not confused at all. But like @Eric_Squires, I'm done arguing with you and your notions of a "single ground point" through a grounding rod and other misinformed - and ... |
