| Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions? Typical marketing spin from Mapleshade. "Don't buy their stuff, it doesn't work. Buy Mapleshade's stuff."I'm sorry, but if they're claiming demag'ing is manipulating static they are the one's who have missed the mark. Again, this does nothing for ... | |
| Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions? Sorry, Bob. It works, so there must be magnetic particles. | |
| Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions? Has nothing to do with static electricity. You still need a Zerostat for that. Furutech claims in their white paper that there are enough ferrous particles in the pigment used to color the vinyl.http://www.furutech.com/news/FURUTECHdeMagNews2006.h... | |
| Build my own speakers? I've built a set of Edgarhorns in kit form this past year. Even though the cabinets are finished for the most part and I'm using the crossover designed by Bruce Edgar I still find many parameters to tweak, adjust, experiment with. I knew going int... | |
| Test Lp If you can only have one test lp, this is the one to get. The Cardas Frequency Sweep and Test LP is the one that most people find the most useful. Besides tracks that are helpful for setup, it also has a frequency sweep that helps keep your analog... | |
| An Audiophile Goal Hell, if measurements told the whole story we'd all have excellent sounding rooms. ;-) | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it You'd be surprised what you can do on the used market. But even so, good vinyl does take a little sweat equity. | |
| Phono pre for 35mv cart that runs 6dj8 tubes?????? Thanks, John. You are correct,sir.:-) | |
| Phono pre for 35mv cart that runs 6dj8 tubes?????? BAT makes a fine phono stage. I think you'd want to stay with the vkP5 or vkP10 models without the super paks if you want to tube roll. Also, they only have balanced outputs.Aesthetix uses them for output drivers, 1 in each channel. I don't rememb... | |
| Phono pre for 35mv cart that runs 6dj8 tubes?????? Why 6dj8 tubes in the phono stage? | |
| best cartridge for 60,70's classic rock, folk .... Glad you chimed in, Doug. You and Paul are the only people I know who have heard both the Atmos and XV-1s. | |
| best cartridge for 60,70's classic rock, folk .... I chose the XV-1s because I also listen to jazz, country, classical, etc., so I wanted a cartridge that sounded good all around. To some extent it was a compromise, but now I'm glad I did not buy a Universe. That would have been overkill for me. | |
| best cartridge for 60,70's classic rock, folk .... I use a XV-1s and listen to much the same kind of music. I've never heard an Atmos, but from what I've heard of a Universe I would guess that the Atmos will have a very neutral presentation. You should try to hear both and decide for yourself. Bot... | |
| zyx universe cartr.- ideal weight -ideal vta , I'm sure the Hadcock is a fine arm, but it's not going to behave the same as a gimbal bearing arm. There is not really much difference between the two methods. Because one method may work better for a particular setup than the other does not inval... | |
| zyx universe cartr.- ideal weight -ideal vta , I've been to Doug's and heard first hand exactly the changes he is prescribing. Eye-opening, startling, obvious. Yes, the minute changes in his system are that evident. Then I've gone home and tried to re-create, with some success, what I've exper... |
