| Phono preamp with multiple inputs?? Suggestions please!! I have a Musical Fidelity NuVista Vinyl which can take up to five inputs, each configured either as MM or MC, with lots of loading options for resistance and capacitance, and remembers all the settings during power off. The funny thing is that I ... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? There isn't a definitive answer to this, Raul. Everything is a trade-off. There is likely an aphorism to be made out of "dynamics, details, low cost - pick any two"! For me, I'm very happy to use my MI cartridges that can go up against more expen... | |
| A GOOD dry record cleaning device If the records have been washed, what you are doing after that is dust removal. I do that bit without touching the disc, firstly removing static with a Furutech Destat III and then, once dust is no longer attracted to the vinyl surface, blow it of... | |
| Vibration Question Meanwhile, I shall enjoy both the music and the (pleasing) distortions. | |
| Vibration Question The chest is old and crudely made, with a very thick top, and seasoned since sometime in the 1600s. But undoubtedly, you are right, @pindac, there must be effects of percussing a drum-like surface like the top of it. Given that the top of the ches... | |
| Vibration Question Done. The pods holding the Grado are silent, as are those holding the Soundsmith. However, if I tap very hard (like percussing a chest, which I suppose I am, in a way) with two fingers I can hear something with the volume turned up to Quad-destruc... | |

| Vibration Question The panels arrived from Acoustand today and it all seems to work. Very heavy and solid, so should be stable. A few pages back I outlined my plans for some experimental double tonearm pods. The panels arrived from Acoustand today and it... | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog ! | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog @soix It's not so much a matter of: so where better to ask? but one of where better to answer? | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog @soix I'm sure everything you say is true. But surely it does not belong in the analog forum? | |
| Turntable advice +1 on the LP-S. My second best cartridge. | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog @pindac Steaming... Definitely a flat response after that! The moving iron moves on.đ But once again we have streaming in the analog section. Why does that keep happening? | |
| A GOOD dry record cleaning device @whart Isopropyl Alcohol, not India Pale Ale. Not that I'm advocating its use in the context but it is not an uncommon approach. Acronyms are dangerous, aren't they? I've never cleaned a record with a double IPA, though I may have listened und... |
