| Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami Al, THanks for the insight.Unlike the BAt preamp, the einstein has output imped. 100ohm and it also does not rise at bass freq. According to the equation, I should be able to use cables of higher capacitance (Mogami) without audible roll off. In p... | |
| Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami I run 5 meter pair of purist dominus (updated) in XLR and also have mogami. My einstein preamp have very low output imped for tube preamp. The Dominus sounds a lot better than Mogami. Mogami sounds opague with closed in treble and lacked detail. I... | |
| shield to pin one of xlr Guys, many thanks for the help.Just did more experimenting. I turned the volume way up to hear the bakground noise. Then ran a wire betw the ground of the phonstage and tonearm, tonearm base or table. There is no significant difference in noise le... | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore Both are great speakers but very different sounding. Your amps are fine partners to both speakers. I run >200W class A amps too. Parsifals are not hugely sensitive design like the Lohengrin or Sarastro. Even at 93db, the added power is noticeab... | |
| How to reduce anti-skate on Graham Phantom B44 II Recently redo my setup with the Graham and ran into a few scenarios which required reducing antiskate. None to the degree of what is happening. 1. Did you remove the plastic plug covering the bearing? 2. Double check your alignment. 3. Verify azim... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Different record thickness change SRA very little. Perhaps the converse is more significant.Record companies cut record at different angles . You need to change VTA quite a bit (4-8mm) to compensate for 1-2 degree difference.SRA is also changed by... | |

| Tonearm cable recommendations... I have the tyr, discovery and WSS. Tyr used is about $500-600. Discovery is a great cable especially for price approx $400. WSS Kable from germany also excellent as well. They all sound slightly different but not one is drastically superior to ano... | |
| Ortofon/Dynavector ? cartridge characteristics Dynavector xv1T can do what you ask for. | |
| Woofer sucking in and out Tuning the resonant freq of cart/arm can damp some vibrations or at least reduce the excitability. It is part of the feedback loop. If the floor vibrates at higher frequency than the reson freq of the cart/arm, it will provide damping. If the floo... | |
| Woofer sucking in and out When i had my old setup, the woofer pumping was mostly due to acoustic feedback via the floor. The speakers shook my suspended wook floor which shook the table and generated very low frequency output at the cartridge. Playing these inaubdilbe low ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference I merely want to state my experience that cleaner power improves the playback of the Bardo which the OP is interested in.My Bardo and Sp10mk2 both benefit from cleaner power. THe SP10mk2 even more so. This experience is different from " The Bardo,... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference I have the Bardo and an Technics Sp10. Both were improved by connecting to a Purepower conditioner. Both were further improved by running the power conditioner on battery pack without connecting to the wall. I checked the speed with a strobe and t... | |
