| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Problem is piezoelectricity, by it's very definition, is the conversion of mechanical pressure to electrical charge, not EMI. Besides wouldn't one wish to reduce EMI rather than increase it? Hel-looo!Geoffkait (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Hel-... | |
| Record clamps: do they really make a difference. RaulYes - check out the Meitner turntable from the 80's. It had no platter, clamped the record under/over the record label portion and left the playing surface unsupported. Many audiophiles here tried various versions and iterations - loss of reso... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Lewm - The answer to your scepticism lies in EMI not RFI.Anything that emits/uses RF will emit electromagnetic noise. Even things not designed to use RF if resonating can emit electromagnetic noise.The piezoelectric properties of a quartz crystal ... | |
| Record clamps: do they really make a difference. 11-03-13: MosinIt all depends on the table. The worse the turntable, the greater the need.MosinYou have to be joking.If you believe that thenQ1. If a record is not flat, do you think it sounds better with half the record not supported, floating in... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 10-28-13: Ct0517Now you can maybe sell Richard one of your extra Mag wands that he desires ?Economics 101 - from my university days -If one were to put a value on the time spent trawling the net for a second hand arm wand, one would find that it i... | |
| New to Audiogon. selling my whole system The only true way to compare different cable brands is to wire the whole system with brand A and then replace all cables with brand B.Most audiophiles use cables for bandaiding problems in their system or room, mixing their brands to come up with ... | |
| SP-10 Mat I have had much experience with both the Final Audio copper mat 4.5kg and the Micro Seiki 180 copper mat on a variety of TT's. Both of them sound significantly better when used with either a heavy stabiliser/washer or reflex clamp/washer.I have bo... | |
| SUT decision: Ortofon Verto vs Ortofon STA6600L 10-18-13: PaniHi Raul,Lyra will recommend their own SUT which is the Erodion. Pani - clearly you did not read my post above. JCarr does not recommend the Erodion for phono stages that have a gain of 50dB plus.06-18-10: JcarrFWIW, we also make the ... | |
| Cognitive Dissonance Theory – What Do You Think? One proposition implicit in Festinger’s theory is that we don’t always behave based on what we believe; rather, what we believe may be the result of how we have already behaved.This proposition seems to me a chicken or egg scenario.In my view the ... | |
| Review: Quad 57 Review : Quad 57I feel they lack nothing in the High Frequency (HF). Its all there, but its a delicate HF and non-fatiquing. People that add tweeters could be compensating for: 1) Bad tweeter panel – or at least not fully 100%. The tweeter panel i... | |
| Review: Quad 57 10-18-13: GeoffkaitYou guys really ought to hear the Quad 57s without their metal grills and without their plastic dust protectors. Geoffkait, I could not agree more, here is my post elsewhere..10-04-13: DoverBack in the 80's I traded in a pair o... | |
| New to Audiogon. selling my whole system Having owned the Proac EBS many years ago, these are still very good speakers by any standard and will cost a significant sum to get something better. I would still prefer them to the newer generation D series, much smoother and more musical. They... | |
| SUT decision: Ortofon Verto vs Ortofon STA6600L The issue here is that the RCM phono stage has 52-76db of gain.Even at its lowest gain setting a transformer with a ratio of 1:20 or more will end up with too much gain and possibly overload the phono ( its solid state, they dont have a lot of hea... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? Frogman, you have arrived at the nub of the issue.In my experience, I had a very high end audio shop in the late 80's, and subsequent experiences with "audiophiles", very few people want high fidelity.Most want what they think or would like music ... | |
