| Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections I love getting myself in troubleš¤£.Ā Skin effect is real. You want the high pass connected for sure. The HP run has much thinner wire than the LP. There will be a clarity in the high end you just can't get with the LP section. The LP section is ... | |
| Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense Agree with the 'tonearm' comments. For some of us it is the most important 'analog' component. Even though the Kuzma is a 'point' tonearm, it is 4 points. It's super stable. | |
| Does the length of the Cable matter? Unless Iām mistaken, the input impedance of your phono preamp is 47,000 Ohms. This means an increase in impedance from a long length makes no difference. Shielding is the next thing. I have a 1.5m length phono cable. If that shielded phono cable ... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? Thank the higher powers for starting AudioMart. | |
| Need Tubes Any desire to move to the 'DR' over the 'Pi'? | |
| Tube versus SS Years ago I built my speakers. They use the Accuton diamond tweeters, along with the Accuton C50 2" midrange. To say these speakers are revealing is an understatement.There was 'something' I couldn't get rid of. Countless hours adjusting Azimuth, ... | |
| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey I'm missing something? you want musical music to sound like music, but I can't see the turntable in your room photo?Please tell me your not trying to get distortion (I mean digital) to sound like music? | |
| Magico vs the world The only audio shows I've been to have been TAVES (Toronto Audio Video Show), and Montreal's Son & L'Image. Toronto 4 times, Montreal, 3. I've been to countless high end stores across Canada, and the Northern US.Magico is consistently some of ... | |
| MUST Have Vinyl Welcome back.Like you, I tried other sources, but came back to vinyl.I went on a reissue buying binge. Listened, then listened to original pressings. Strive to find originals. Yes D to D LP's are the best, just not enough of them around. Happy lis... | |
| Suspended cables Oddly enough, I'm testing the Mundorf AMT 25CS2.1-R tweeter as we speak. My listening room/testing area is in the basement. Concrete floor covered with hardwood and than an area rug.This morning I tested the tweeter with; microphone cable on the f... | |
| Tube tester...anyone own their own? I too took the Amplitrex plunge. Yes is was expensive. Yes it was worth every penny. I couldn't live without it.The bad news? A lot of the tubes we buy are not near as good as advertised. There is no ambiguity with the AT1000, it tells you exactly... | |
| Watts and power I have Acoustic Elegance 15 inch woofers. 140 Ohm impedance at Fs. Fs is 21 Hz. In the enclosure, Fs is 32 Hz. Again, 140 Ohms at 32 Hz.The above mentioned fabulous amp. One of the most powerful available.3000Watts @ 8 Ohms. 6000Watts @ 4 Ohms. 12... | |
| Measuring turntable speed I didn't read all the posts carefully.Has anyone mentioned to measure the speed, whichever method you want, with the diamond in a groove?Speed is different when playing music. | |
| Watts and power I have a pair of Ralphs Atma-Sphere amps.The last thing the signal (music) sees are two large 27,000uF storage supply caps. One for each phase of the sinusoidal waveform.As my amps where getting older, I replaced the stock output caps with Mundorf... | |
| Turntable recommendations For those of us that switched to an Idler Drive TT, there's no going back. Lenco, Thorens, etc. |
