| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Doug, I'm going to send my 100' roll of mylar down to you so you and Paul will have something to do in your spare time. I can see clotheslines strung all around the living room and kitchen. ;-)I find this fascinating since I've thrown out a few be... | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Thanks, Rccc. That makes more sense, a zobel to correct load imbalance that may be contributed to ringing with some trans. I also agree that no components at all should sound the best. Good luck with your search. I've also begun to take a more DIY... | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Rccc,I don't get how it is best to avoid load resistors but apparently ok to use a zobel that adds both resistance and capacitance? Seems counter-intuitive to me. Or, are we talking about the pre-amp side? | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Well, actually not that cheap. K&K would be better. | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? If you want to go cheap, but still get some quality contact this guy.Al GallacherOtherwise known as anumber1 over on AA-vinyl. | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Yep, if you want the best that is the one to consider. Hopefully, John will be shipping soon. | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Viper_z, You will want to use a sut. Depending on the gain of your pre your MM has pretty good gain, but it will sound closed in and tipped up. The sut will allow you to load the MC properly which will fixed the sound. It will also give you back m... | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Yes, they do exist (I own one) and I bet all/most of them were developed using a step up as the benchmark. The external sut is still the most cost effective solution. There are things that have to be addressed. Such as loading, length of output ca... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Yep, DS, I agree with your findings. Many of those scratches become catch basins for the dirt and crap that cause ticks or pops when the come 'round to meet the stylus. Blast that gunk out with steam and it is surprising how much extraneous noise ... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Downunder,I'm not sure if you mean "difficult to get right" to refer to making or using an arc-style protractor. I doubt you are interested in making one, so I'll assume you are talking about using the protractor.I don't find an arc-style protract... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? My Perfection has only been used twice since I bought it about 10 days ago and I don't fill it more that 3/4 of the full amount in the measuring cup. Hey, for $20 I don't expect the thing to be perfect. ;-) My technique worked out well for me toda... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Tvad,I've got the Perfection and had some sputtering with mine. I came upon a technique that may help. I haven't done it enough times to be sure that it works. Anyway, try this and see if it cuts down on the sputtering. I use the extension and the... | |
| Speaker's efficiency, sensitivity and impedance Is it safe to conclude that the impedance of a speaker gives an indication of the current demand on the amp? It seems that as impedance falls there would be more current drawn to keep the equation in balance. If the amp is not able to supply the c... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Narrod, sorry if I missed your point. I think Palasr and I have pointed out the short-comings of printed protractors. I bow to Palasr as he's way out in front of me when it comes to evaluating a large number of protractors. I personally find the a... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Narrod,I'm not trying to "sell" you anything. I'm just sharing my experience. Ken's protractor is fine, I'm sure, and if you are happy with it who cares what anyone, including me, says. Other people whose opinions I greatly respect and value are p... |
