| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? I'm sure this is a great FM radio, but it would never work for me. I can't stand commercials and that is about all you get. I switched to sat radio a few years ago to get away from the commercials, but now that those two sat companies have combine... | |
| Best sound ? Von Schweikert Vr 4jr or Aerial 10 t Tubes and 10ts, not a good match for me. Well, tube amps that is. The 10t are a demanding load. I would not run mine on anything other than quality SS amps. Give them at least 300 watts of excellent current source and you'll be amazed at how these... | |
| PP or SET tube amp best resolution on horns? I am doing exactly what you are looking into. I built my 106 dB Edgarhorn system over the last two years. My mid-bass horn handles from 80 - 500Hz.My push-pull amp is a Lectron JH-50, which I'm told Jean Hiraga developed using horns. This is 50 wa... | |
| Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal Next time you go to a concert, take a good look around and see what speakers and equipment are being used. NOTHING, nothing, nothing, NOTHING! Did I say nothing? Nothing reproduces this genre of music better than 100+ dB horns and tubes. IMO. | |
| A/B Vinyl/Digital But you left out a very, very important issue in your comparison and it will explain why so many have digital only systems. it is really not much of a mystery. Doing vinyl well requires more work, more supplies, and more money than digital. It is ... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Thanks, Syntax. That does help give me an idea of what this unit is realistically capable of. I can understand what you say about digital, especially CDPs. I'm using a little transport ripped out of a cheap boombox. It is based on a project on DIY... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Ok, Syntax, Thomas, whatever you go by these days. Can I assume your Basis is better than this tuner or not? What other components, digital or analog did you compare this tuner with? | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Feathed,I see that you are new to Audiogon. Perhaps if you sincerely ask questions, listen when people answer, and think about what they answer you may just learn something new. You started this thread with the assumption that tracking distortion ... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Please tell us more about the components in the vinyl chain. That would help me understand what you are comparing the tuner with, and I do know how good an FM tuner can sound. "The tuner sounds similiar but has more dynamics and colorations, but i... | |
| Tonearm pivot lube Only if the manufacturer recommends it. You can build up a lot of gunk by improperly lubricating a bearing. It sounds like you are talking about a unipivot. If this is the case you would be trying to lubricate an upside down bearing, the lube is g... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Feathed, how are you verifying pivot to spindle distance?One can adjust a cartridge to one or two null points all of their life and never get anything close to correct if the pivot to spindle distance is not dead on. This is what an arc protractor... | |
| Can Sound-Smith tip sound as good as original? I would agree that the retip will not affect the sound of the original cartridge, so pick which ever stylus/cantilever you want. However, I can highly recommend the ruby cantilever with line contact stylus. I had Soundsmith do this retip combinati... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Along the lines of what Palasr suggests, can you swap another DC source for the battery? I am able to do this with my controller by using a 12-vdc wall wart. The wall wart isn't as quiet but it is great for emergencies and troubleshooting. It does... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... No_regrets, how do you get the controller to work properly again after one of these slow down episodes? | |
| MintLP/Dynavector 17D3 question Try Office Depot or Staples. They usually have up to 10x magnifiers. You may even find something at Lowes or Home Depot but I've never looked there for magnifiers. |
