| Is it possible for the center image to drift from lp to lp? The cutting head on the master lathe was installed by hand. It would be nice to think every human installing this head installed it perfectly perpendicular. The act of tightening said head to the lathe was done with screws. yada yada yada.Your sty... | |
| Need Help: What In My Home Electric System Killed the Sound? Watts (and therefore KiloWatts) are amps x's voltage. Since motors (fridge compressor and furnace fan motors as examples) work on current, this current draw remains constant, but the voltage is higher, so you use more 'watts'. Hydro company makes ... | |
| Need Help: What In My Home Electric System Killed the Sound? Story Time:Here in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, we have Ontario Hydro. They have installed 'Smart' meters. These meters calculate power usage. Since this calculation uses voltage, and since highest prices are during the day and evening, they raise o... | |
| what is the problem with too much tracking force? When you wrote the dealer does final setup by ear, that's the ticket.Let's look at it this way: The diamond on the end of the cantilever is kinda small. This diamond may have been installed by a human hand, or with a small 'guide', then glued. Doe... | |
| what does a power conditioner really do? I am in Ontario, Canada. Ontario Hydro has installed smart meters. To maximize their profits, they feed us 125V. Big problem.Unless I'm mistaken, manufacturers try to build for 230V/115V. There is a bit of leeway. 125V is too high, and bad for mus... | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? This is going to be a weird response.A few years ago, Jeff Bagley built a 'quasi' second order (balanced) 2-way. By all accounts, it was the best 2-way all in attendance had ever heard. After the fact, the naysayers started commenting 'you need ap... | |
| Do 180g vinyls sound better or is it a myth ? There have been some great posts. I would like to take it one step further. Much of what I'm about to say will make no sense. Sorry.If you have time, do a quick internet search. Look for 'record groove under a microscope'.Now keep things simple: t... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks.Thank you for enlightening me. No isolated ground rod. | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions I am an easily confused old man.My Atma-Sphere MA-1 140 watt tube amps use 5 amp fuses.When I look at these fuses, the wire connecting one end to the other is absolutely tiny. At my age I need reading glasses to see it. Yes it is that thin.This is... | |
| how much better is the kuzma 4 point then my TTW Jelco I too owned the Talea. It is a fabulous arm. I now own the 4Point.Both these arms have azimuth adjustment. As far as I know the Jelco does not.Once you've owned an arm with azimuth adjustment, and been able to 'dial in' the diamond on the end of t... | |
| Can "Refurbished" Thorens turntables sound better, and worth taking a chance on?? If I may, I'd like to change the subject:I believe an idler drive is superior to a belt drive. I have a few belt drives in house: Heybrook TT2, Linn LP12, Michell Gyrodec. All with every upgrade available.My 'new' Jean Nantais Lenco 75 idler drive... | |
| ZYX 'Real Stereo' and Miyajima 'Cross Ring' Cartridges I forgot about the Puritas. I owned it at one point. Business was slow and therefore had to sell it.I should get another. | |
| ZYX 'Real Stereo' and Miyajima 'Cross Ring' Cartridges Hello chaksterComparing the two is simple.The ZYX Universe ll uses a plastic body, which is open on the sides. There is very little 'vibration' coming from the body of the cartridge. It is therefore very open and clear. For me it is as true to the... | |
| ZYX 'Real Stereo' and Miyajima 'Cross Ring' Cartridges Both manufacturer's believe their motor assembly is superior to others.Since I own both these companies offerings (Universe ll and Kansui), and for my listening preferences they beat the other cartridges I own. I was wondering if there are other m... | |
