| Opinions on Mogami Cable? I use 25', single ended mogami cables to feed the QVC amp for my bass horns. (I have a lot of pro gear in my system.) They have low capacitance which makes them great for longer runs. My Doshi preamp and phonostage are wired internally with Canare... | |
| Benfits of upgraded connectors I agree with Stringreen. The connectors have a large impact on how a cable performs, and many times it is the connectors that affect the sound more than the cable itself. The best connector is no connector, but not very practical. There are many o... | |
| How important is the tonearm? Oh, now you aren't saying non suspended tables are inferior. ;-) Are you? | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Thanks for the correction, Eldartford and Kihanki! I am mixing myself up. The fundamental IS the lowest sinusoid. I'm sounding like Irwin Corey again. ;-) | |
| How important is the tonearm? The question was NOT what is more important, rather HOW important is the tonearm. And I think we all agree that the arm is very important. Soulbrass, all things being equal, etc., the low-end cart on the high-end arm will sound better because the ... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Yes, fatgh0st, I agree you can easily use non-suspended tables. Even within this sub-category, different tables will react differently to what they are sited on. My experience is that most do fine on a rigid table, but it doesn't always need to be... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Yeah, and a snare drum whack is maybe an even better example of the very complex sounds we listen to.I think what sometimes happens is we read the definition where is says that the harmonics are "integer multiples" but we forget that there is a ne... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Yeah, who gives a crap about big power when your pulling yourself out of the back wall with 1 watt. ;-) Seriously, I do prefer more power on the low end, 10-20+ on the mid bass and the big honkers are feed with a 500 watt QVC pro amp. I believe in... | |
| Shelter 901 v1 or Benz Micro L2 This will be highly dependent on what arm these will be mounted on. The 901 is low compliant and feeds a lot of energy back into the arm. A lot of energy. The Benz is high compliant. | |
| Considering analog...but nervous In general, IMO, I can't see putting much money into a transport these days. Very few are anything special since most manufacturers have gone. Many times the mechanism are no different from what you find in a PC. I found a good performing CDP and ... | |
| Great "set-up" artists? Is Esoteric Audio in Scottsdale not able to help? They say they carry Graham so I assume they would know how to setup a table. I also see on their website that they have moved.There is also Audio Video Choices in Phoenix who advertises with a big ... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Mapman, that kind of sa probably uses frequency bins but may help show what is going on. The issue people forget is that we're not dealing with simple sinusoid signals. A single note from a musical instrument is a very complex sinusoid. That is ho... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Wes, absolutely! :-) The Aerials use a 10" woofer, and that damn port. The midbass has a 15" driver and the bass uses an 18" driver.I understand that field coil works the best down on the low side. Some say it is the best bass possible. I haven't ... | |
| How important is the tonearm? I don't disagree at all that it is the cartridge that is the main focus in getting the music from the grooves. In the context of this thread, however, the device that is responsible for allowing the cartridge to work the best it possibly can is th... | |
| How important is the tonearm? The job of the tonearm is to hold the cartridge in the groove with the grip and determination of The Incredible Hulk while maintaining the finesse of Tinkerbell. That table deserves either the Triplanar or Graham. My personal preference would be f... |
