| Long headshell required Changing the overhang will not in any way affect P2S distance. I don't think the headshell you seek exists. | |
| What is Wrong With HD Radio & Why Aren't HD Tuners Being Made? HD radio is lossy digital. The way it's used in the US, the main HD channel ("HD-1") is limited to around 120 kbps and if there are multiple subchannels the limit on HD-1 is 64 kbps. The quality on the other subchannels is even less. So if you lik... | |
| You're overbudget on gear, one more thing... As with any collecting hobby, some people are willing to pay collector's prices. I'm not one of them but neither do I object. Who cares how others spend their money? As it is, most people think audiophiles like us spend crazy money, so who are we ... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. p05129 Usb is a flawed connection to a dac no matter what. That's quite a pronouncement. How is USB flawed? | |
| Long headshell required You are right, @solypsa. Good catch! But my point is the same - increasing overhang won't offset a misaligned P2S distance. | |
| Long headshell required I don't think you can offset a P2S distance that is too short by increasing overhang, @koala. | |
| Long headshell required Are you talking about a common universal headshell? If so, your request suggests something else is off in your alignment, such as the P2S distance. It might help to know the pickup arm that you are using. | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker I concluded that it could not be certain the ARC Ref 3 is fully balanced. I’ve seen the schematic (of the Ref Phono 2SE), so I know it’s balanced. You’re obviously just going to cling to your notions, such as that differential cir... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker I think we shall agree to differ. Really, you’re going to cling to the silly notion that differentially balanced circuits are "artificially balanced?" Yes, we differ, because I’m among many that think differential circuits are... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker But I still cannot see how it can be fully balanced if it has only phonos for inputs. You apparently don’t understand what balanced operation is. The connectors really don’t have anything to do with it - whether a component is... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker It isn’t FULLY balanced. Whilst XLRs are an option for the output, the input is phono plugs only with two wires only. There is no separate earth. The earth must run on one or other of the two signal wires. You are completely mis... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker I have had ARC phono amps before but I didn't look at the Ref3 because it can't be run fully balanced ... You're mistaken. All the ARC Reference line stage and phono preamps run fully balanced using differential circuits. | |
| Suggestions for Digital Audio Recorder Another option is the Korg MR2000S. I still have an Alesis Masterlink in my rack, which is actually quite a good recorder. | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing winoguy17 I don’t feel its a trend. There has always been uber expensive options in every facet for those that can afford them ... Exactly. And why should anyone care what others spend on speakers, or a house, car, vacation or anything else?... | |
| Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output... atmasphere Atma-Sphere was the first to offer a balanced phono input, back in 1989. The sales manager of ARC contacted me about how that connection was done ... and a couple of years later ARC had a balanced input. To my understanding they d... |
