| 2+2+2 Multichannel Flex...Thankyou...I have enough amps and small but decent speakers to try this out. Alas, my room does not have a high ceiling. Someday I will build a large room with cathedral ceiling where my Magneplanar speakers can be suspended well off the fl... | |
| 2+2+2 Multichannel Kr4...Couldn't find a website. Help! | |
| TT drive belt comparison Dougdeacon...In my time I did my share of fiddling with belts and strings, not to mention little rubber idler wheels(which preceeded belts). I guess it's your turn. Enjoy!With regard to motor power, the weight of the platter has minimal impact on ... | |
| Rediscovering the Joy of Digital? Zaikesman..True about the cassette tape, but it's only because the cassette tape speed is so slow, and the recording quality so undemanding (because of Dolby processing) that the format was able to gain some acceptance. In the pre-CD age, convenie... | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and Magneplanar 1.6QR My MG 1.6 sound much better with a 350 watt Adcom amp than with a 100 watt Adcom amp having similar specs except for power. The message is clear...get more watts. | |
| TT drive belt comparison To quote Teres "With a precision DC motor cogging and vibration are almost non-existent so rigid coupling of the motor and platter tends to deliver the best results". Sounds like a case for direct drive. | |
| Linear tracking arms Leep...Yes, the arm is part of the Sony PS X800 turntable system. It does not surprise me that some other linear tracking arm is mechanized in this way because it makes a lot more sense than trying to create a frictionless air bearing. | |
| Rediscovering the Joy of Digital? Prerecorded tapes face a great economic problem relating to their manufacture. To record a tape you must draw the tape past a recording head (a serial data transfer). Although the tape speed can be increased (at some cost of quality) it still take... | |
| Use of Digital Amps: Need serious help The greatest advantage of digital technology (in general, not just for audio amps) is much lower cost for the same performance. And regarding performance (sonic quality in our case) it can be anything you want it to be with the right software, or ... | |
| bi wire ????????? No diference. It's all in what YOU THINK you hear. | |
| Linear tracking arms My Sony PS X800 turntable has a linear tracking arm, and I guess it works a bit different from ones described above.The arm is pivoted (so there is no jaring sideforce when the arm lowers to the record, or at any other time) but the pivot point is... | |
| Open-Minded or Gullible? Quite a few have mentioned cleaning the fuse holder contacts. It is a scientific fact that contacts have resistance, but in practice the contact resistance of the fuse/holder is probably less than the fuse itself, and unlikely to change by removal... | |
| Can I nominate Sean please ? Sean is a gentleman. You can disagree with him, and debate a point without being labeled as an unbelieving idiot. | |
| High Powered Speakers? With MG 1.6 speakers there is no doubt that a 350 watt Adcom amp sounds much better than a 100 watt Adcom amp with similar specs (except for power), even though the power drawn (even peaks) is well within the 100 watt amp range. I think that there... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player The particular vibration isolation table that I have used is a Halcyonics unit similar to their current model Mod-1M. Check it out on their web site: www.halcyonics.com.Although I remain skeptical about the necessity to isolate CD players, I can t... |
