| best phono preamps? Hi Raul,why aren't you and Jose building an integrated phono/pre/amp? | |
| best phono preamps? Well, in theory why have any separates at all? I mean a completely integrated source/amp/speaker so there are no cables anywhere. ;-) In all honesty, I reserve the right to change my position if I ever get a chance to spend time with a full functi... | |
| best phono preamps? Raul, when I met you at Doug and Paul's to hear your Essential, I was stopped, for whatever reason, from bringing in my Alaap separates which I had with me at the time. We stayed with Doug's preamp. At that time, I believe that my separates were s... | |
| best phono preamps? The best phono preamps are integrated phono/line level preamps.In general, that may be true. My Doshi Audio Alaap separates sound every bit as good as the Alaap full function preamp. Just like turntables and everything else, it really depends on e... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. I'm not sure anyone has said speed perfection is the sole goal. Obviously, taking that approach would lead to problems elsewhere, most of which would mask any benefit of perfect speed. CD = perfection? That's a whole different topic itself, but I ... | |
| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent Steam beats them both. But I do like using the AI cleaners and pure water rinse. I must admit that all of the positive comments about the Walker solutions makes me a little curious. But then I hear that the Walker rinse has something else in it. A... | |
| Questions about Zerostat use Mine came with a little indicator that lights up when I pint the Zerostat at it and pull the trigger. That's how you know it is working. I agree with Rushton, don't use this on your cartridge!I suppose it may have some effect on cables but I use s... | |
| Where to find 'good sounding' resistors? Hi Doug,Glad to see the hangover from the RMAF weekend didn't keep you down long!Yes, Nick has mentioned trying film resistors in crossovers. I can see where the signal coming in to the suts would be very susceptible to resistor make/style, not to... | |
| Where to find 'good sounding' resistors? Are there other applications where these Vishays work well or do they just sound superior in all cases? | |
| Anti-skate Yes, the car leans to the outside because of centrifugal force is pulling it that way. So why doesn't the car go flying off to the outside? Friction, the force acting between the tires and road surface. Overcome that and you skid out. But, I digre... | |
| Anti-skate Oh, my apologies Juliejoema. I get what you're saying. | |
| Anti-skate Juliejoema,try driving your car around a corner at faster and faster speeds and tell me what happens to the friction holding your tires in contact with the road. ;-) | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Cello,I will miss meeting you and buying you a bottle of champagne or single malt for turning me on to the rollerblocks. Well, maybe someday I can repay you with some really excellent pie. Damn! Damnit! Damnit all! | |
| Anti-skate If I remember my basic physics ('ats a real loooong shot) friction is a force applied in direct opposition to velocity. So, less velocity, less friction, less amplitude to the force vector in the inward direction. (see Larryi's post on headshell a... | |
| Is your image centred? Luna, changing the interface to your table and hearing improvements does make a lot of sense. Different materials resonate in different ways and can sometimes smear the notes causing all kinds of havoc. I've been through that with hard maple, gran... |
