| Turntable and Rack vibration control Both can sound great or poor. Coupling the spindle/platter directly to the motor presents its own set of challenges.Dave | |
| DC power supply reviews for AQVOX switch Interesting review. Thanks toetap. I have recently wondered about whether there are "hi-end" offerings in the pre-streamer LAN equipment realm. A couple of questions: 1) My ISP’s speed tests around 120Mbps consistently via Ethernet out of a Motoro... | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Received and installed 300 rpm/flywheel assembly today in place of my original 600 rpm motor. Yowza! Immediate improvement in PRAT and ebb-and-low of the music. No need to repeat the usual superlatives, but I will say that the reduction in the noi... | |

| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? That has not been my experience thus far, ebm. Kathy of "legacy" Thiel once drilled me a new one re: $$ on repair of drivers many years ago but Rob Gillum has been fair and profoundly helpful in all my associations with him, even sending free part... | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? As previously stated, Thiel service has been a separate P&L center for several years now. Hopefully more a "P" than an "L". Those that have complained (or will complain) about the cost of their service will now better understand the realities ... | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Thanks Bruce. Very, very helpful.Dave | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Completely agree with that, Bruce. Do you feel that using a 300 rpm vs 600 rpm motor and/or an independent flywheel between motor and platter are effective as methods to reduce unwanted motor vibrations from reaching the stylus?How about thread dr... | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? You would be right in this case shadorne.Dave | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Shubert, It is quite easy to visualize you being the barker at such a funeral.Dave | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Oh no. This is disastrous to Thiel owners if more than a simple inconvenience/aggravation. shadorne, Thiel service is located in KY not in the Nashville corporate headquarters and has been operated as a separate P&L/business subsidy for quite ... | |
| Mini Review of Uptone ISO Regen and UltraCap LPS-1 Power Supply Combo shadorne,Thank you for your response. There is more going on in the noise/component matching realm of computer audio than just jitter. Galvanic isolation and impedance mismatch could even play a bigger role in source/DAC interface issues, particul... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? It is not a heart or a kidney transplant. Just try them and see what you think.Dave | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC That was the posit from Jeff Haagenstad of Exogal when I solicited his opinion before trying the ISO Regen and I expect you are both right, lowrider. I gave it an honest shot which is, it seems, more than many often do before judging here in writi... | |
| Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles? I would (I cannot see how it could damage your amp) but that is your call to make. Again, mine did the same thing recently when I was moving my gear/cabling around and it stopped when I connected the hi-level cable using the technique above with n... |
