| Has anyone recently had any slow response with Sound-Smith repairs Soundsmith received my phono cartridge for repair on Oct. 20 last year and it was finished on Jan. 29. This was not warranty work. The wait was about what I expected - they don't promise a rapid turnaround. I found them very pleasant and straightf... | |
| Opinions on Audio Research Ref 5SE vs. Modwright 36.5DM mondie " ... I am still trying to understand whether I have a good impedance match between either of these amps and my active speakers (10k ohms)."ARC says the Ref 5SE should see a minimum load of 20K ohms. | |
| turntable speed control lewm "Melm wrote, "...belt drives (which may measure worse in some respects) sound better." This is so so wrong and short-sighted. Yet, CLeeds agrees with him."As melm pointed out to you, that isn't exactly what he said." Well designed and i... | |
| turntable speed control +1 stringreen!I would add that another problem is that some come here to participate in a conversation, ask questions and exchange ideas and experiences. Others have other goals. It's usually not too difficult to distinguish one from the other, th... | |

| turntable speed control melm "More importantly, I believe, we can hear things that we cannot measure."While there's no question that we can measure things we can't hear, I think it is also mostly true that we can hear things we can't measure. Oftentimes, however, I thi... | |
| turntable speed control phoenixengr " ... I’d suggest you do a little more research before you decide to debate how these systems work. You seem to have little understanding of the physics involved, yet you ’know’ so much." When phoenixengr asked how I made my measuremen... | |
| turntable speed control phoenixengr " May I ask what you used to measured it? My VPI table changes speed considerably from cold to warm and so does every belt drive table I’ve measured. If you have the first belt drive table that doesn’t change speed over time, the... | |
| turntable speed control phoenixengr "Agreed. But constant motor speed does not equal constant platter speed, it's basic physics. Belt creep does exist and it is measurable. "That really depends on the turntable." A table driven by the SDS will have constantly chan... | |
