| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! You are the creator! It’s an art as much as a science. The shelf or top plate should be damped but not overly so. Oft times a thing that seems like a no brainer hurts the sound. Audio can be defined as an endless parade of trial and error. 😛 | |
| Are You Experienced? The go to CD for any Hendrix recording, well, the first four for sure, is the Hendrix family reissue by Eddie Kramer from the nineties, recognizable by the EXPERIENCE HENDRIX logo. | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) ricred1If price is the criteria for $uper High End, than $2K for a power cord is relatively inexpensive and "some" wouldn't consider them super high end based on cost. Yeah, I can’t figure out where I got the impression you thought the Hurricane w... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! I always use points down cones under the component and under the stand. It minimizes the contact area considerably, by what, a million to one? | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Generally speaking, springs should be loaded according to their springs rate (stiffness). The more mass the lower the resonant frequency of the isolating system thus the better the isoalation, all things being equal. In the case of speakers it’s n... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) Whoa! Huh? Some somebody thinks $2k for a power cord is inexpensive? Interesting. 😳 | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! slawWell knocking on a material, does give one a very good reference as to how it will react in audio applications when that person is an observant "knocker". Holiday Hint: Don’t knock on the stand whilst music is playing. If your stand is on spri... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) At a retail price of $2K I reckon the Hurricane High Current Power Cord falls squarely in the $uper High End Audio segment. | |
| Adcom? schubertI thought so too geoffkait. why I put it on here.Really? It kind of came across like you believed it. | |
| Adcom? Sounds like someone’s been watching too much RT TV. I’m pretty sure Lockheed Martín, Northrop Grumman and Boeing are quite capable of building aircraft electronics. In fact I imagine there are laws prohibiting the use of foreign made electronics i... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! I submit that rapping or knocking the stand or the iPad seismic app is actually ineffective for determining whether a particular stand design is effective or whether seismic vibration is getting into the component, especially a turntable. First, a... | |
| Mapleshade Isolation: Does Nothing? Coupling or isolation? You decide. 🙄 I grant you one thing Isolation-wise that thick maple boards do - that is resist bending forces, I.e. rotational forces. So, yes, there is some isolation. Holiday tip: don’t scratch the maple board with your fi... | |
| DACs and bass response? Almost identical to solid state? Whoa! Hey! What?! Yeah, right. | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. At the risk of repeating myself, this appears to be very much a circuit focused group. It seems my earlier post intimating the problem of the “shrill top end” could be *something else entirely,” something out of the blue, was taken down hard. You ... |
