| Pioneer PL630- upgrading the phono cable? Having low phono cable capacitance is important with MM cartridges, but it's not likely to be an issue with MC, unless perhaps you're using some odd cable. As for RF, you may get better results by using a shielded cable, but on the other hand you ... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? simao Why does Tidal Master quality streaming through my Oppo/Schiit combo sound so much better than playing a CD through the same combo? I'm talking of identical releases of CD and streaming selection. They're not identical if the stream has... | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? This guy wrote quite a few story songs, but this one is probably his signature tune. | |
| Cartridge position on headshell . . . terra3 ... this is the first cartridge I've had that had to be placed so that it under hangs slightly forward of the edge of the front of the headshell. Reason isn't weight balance, but rather the limited space available at the rear of the cart... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined mahler123 ... my turntable, a Technics direct drive, when it can’t track a divot in a groove, stops playing and the tone arm lifts up ... Ugh. Automatic turntables and pickup arms are almost always compromises. | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? mceljo I could track down someone that could recommend the most similar inexpensive wine and see if I could get my sister to pour him a glass of it on the down low and see if he would recognize that something was off. That would be a biased te... | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? dynamiclinearity Cleeds, it wasn't the Absolute Sound that started subjective reviews and made low distortion less relevant. It was Gordon Holt in the 50s in a magazine now defunct I can't recall. You are right, of course, and I never said oth... | |
| How does a speaker blow out? chenaudiolab The maximum power a speaker can handle is an indicator of the full sound spectrum. When the sound is concentrated in only a narrow section of the frequency spectrum, a few watts of electrical power can destroy the driver. No, the ... | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs mahler123 How many times does one clean a given record this way? I thought ultrasound was used once, and after only again if something catastrophic happened, like if the lp was buried in a mudslide in Turkey ... I have found that one clea... | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs lewm Cleeds, if you want to know whether your US RCM can damage your LPs, then you have to design an experiment to answer THAT question on the physical level. I shared my listening experience and have conducted experiments to my satisfaction. ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? adasdad I think that any music lover’s solution to hearing their favorite songs should be easy, and seamlessly, integrated into their own physical environment. Not much in high end audio is easy and seamless. Why should streaming be any diffe... | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? paul6002 Twenty years ago, THD was the start and end of the evaluation of any amplifier. Well, maybe power, first. Then THD. Your timeline is way off. The emphasis on the lowest possible THD goes back to the receiver wars. The launch of Audio ... | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs clearthinker At last an attempt at science on AG. Congratulations. But most AGers would prefer to clean the LP, listen to it and see if they can tell any difference. The notion that listening is itself unscientific and is an obstacle to scien... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm lewm I do not think it is possible to set up an underhung tonearm so as to achieve two null points on the surface of an LP, no matter what you do with the headshell offset angle. I think you are correct. That's the whole raison d'être for ... | |
