Audio Research SP10 sudden shut off/mute while playing ??
ebmSend to ARC asap this unit is 40 yrs old time for maintenanceThat's probably good advice if it hasn't had recent maintenance. The problem could also be a faulty tube in the power supply. Have you checked those?  
Confessions from a VPI owner of some 30 years
cerrotI called for help on an armboard and was told to call my dealer. Thats pathetic service VPI. It sounds to me like VPI wants to support its dealer network. That’s a great thing! And VPI has mail-order dealers, such as Music Direct ... and MD ... 
VPI Avenger
cerrotSo, Matt never responded, from 10-2-16? Matt is very responsive on the VPI forum. If you really want to engage with VPI staff, that's the place to go.  
How to go about getting a new arm board for a new tonearm
cerrot I look forward to the day that I replace my VP table. It sounds decent but just no light at the end of the customer service tunnel with Matt at the helm.Yes, cerrot, we know from your multiple posts that you don't like VPI customer serv... 
Tapping on my table
How far is your turntable from your speakers? Is it possible that audio from your speakers could reach your turntable and cause vibration in the cabinet, which the turntable could pick up as it did your finger tap? If so, that could cause a blurri... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
analogluvr... I would never purchase a 10K cartridge as I would find it an insult to my intelligence.You're insulted by the price of something you apparently have no interest in purchasing?  You must feel insulted quite frequently!  
Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
mb1audio02The lower the frequency, the more air you need to move.Of course!  
Heat/Efficency of Speakers
shadorne... if I say a speaker churns out between 99% and 90% as heat then that equates to an efficiency of 1% to 10% in sound energy ...Quite so. But I don't think you can cite a loudspeaker system with 130 dB sensitivity, which is what would be... 
Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
cedargroverWell, the frequency (i.e., the period between when the derivative is 0) won’t change based on driver size but cone velocity will, for a given output.The "cone velocity" is the driver's frequency. If asked to produce a 32 Hz tone, the... 
$2000 turntable system
leotis ... need speed controller. Looking at Phoenix Eagle with Roadrunner tachometer ...You might want to reconsider the Phoenix. The word is that the company is going out of business at the end of the year.  
Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
mb1audio02If you want to make bass, you can either move a large driver slow or a small driver fast. That doesn't make any sense. A driver's movement corresponds to the frequency it's asked to reproduce. If it's a pure 32 Hz tone, the cone will ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
ethan_winerNo, the burden of proof is on those making the claim.That's absurd. This is not a scientific forum, it's a hobby forum. No one here owes you anything.Regardless, your claim is silly, because not all assertions are equal. If I tell you ... 
Class D Technology
kijanki ...  electricity in speaker cable flows in both directions canceling the most of RF (if any) ...There's nothing inherent about an AC circuit that makes it immune to RF, so it isn't clear what your point is here.    
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
ethan_winer ... I'll never understand why some people are so willing to measure the wrong things and come to a wrong conclusion, when it's so easy to measure the right things and get the right conclusion!Under these two scenarios, it's typical... 
Resale value
tonykayInitially, I said that buying equipment was analogous to the stock market. "Analogous" simply means that something is like, or similar to, something else-not precisely the same. My comment was first taken out of context, and then blow...
