| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? My cartridge test measured flat from 10Hz to 20Khz per the test sheet (unlike Lyras with their rising high end test measurements I've seen as well a heard). Where do the measurements for cartridges exist? That seems like a place I would to pe... | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects Now you talkin’! A very solid thought! @audphile1 he already knows those cables from his/her church, and doesn’t want to spend $20 to try them out. They say that the lord works in strange ways. What’s next…a speaker from an ice cream truc... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? holmz I agree. The $15K cartridge sounded great in a $1+ million system (Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement on a Kronos top turntable). Using my LPs, it couldn’t sound more realistic and involving. Maybe it would have sounded great on my other old a... | |
| The character of analog and digital I’m American and have never heard Australians described as "Americans in training." Americans generally have a very good opinion of Aussies and see them as different from us and certainly not trying to be like us. @tomcy6 Aussies beat up on ... | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects I'm sure that I could borrow cables from a friend. I am a fan of Blue Jeans Cables, but it would cost $60 plus shipping which is starting to be a significant amount of the $200ish that I'll eventually spend on Audioquest Red River cables. I thi... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? If you are interested, you can see measurements in his listening room (with and without room EQ via the Lyngdorf) I have not used room EQ for 2 channel yet, but on the AVP it works well. Maybe I can set up the AVP to output another “zone” as 2... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? I've heard $15+K cartridges and they did sound great with my hot stampers. They don't typically sound as good with my lesser pressings, mono LPs, etc. That is why I chose to step down to a Dynavector 20X2L. One friend who is an LP only expert ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? I was aiming for sympathetic humour, not trying to insult you, sorry if it misfired. yeah @axo1989 I wasn’t sure if it was humour or an insult, so I picked up a travel book at the newsagent. 😎 I do a bit of mentoring for workmates, and they ar... | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects I outlined my experience in another post. XLR hiss through speakers - RCA silence. Can anyone explain this? Pre is Aesthetix Calypso - amp EAR 534. Did the amp hiss when the preamp was not powered? If so, then the preamp was making the hiss. | |
| Tube preamp options I want to thank everyone for l the input. This was quite a lively thread. As I previously mentioned I ended up moving the speakers as far as I could out into the room. This got the front baffle about 42 inches from the front wall. I toed them in ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? If I don’t get your point, then maybe I have too low an IQ and you’re just a genius. @fleschler I doubt it, but I am smart enough not to argue it. I suspect that your system and mine are more similar than dissimilar, in equipment choice. A... | |
| I don't get LRS and cheap Ayima AO7 amp @holmz I'm sorry, I don't understand your post. You're talking about an engineering concept. What are the consequences? Should the A07 and Tripath amp sound very similar? If you need more power, like maybe driving a 8 ohm load… then to get more... | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects For whatever it's worth I have done a lot of critical listening over the years with a lot of different high-end audio equipment and at short distances (1/M - 1.5/M) and I have not noticed a difference in the music comparing XLR to RCA other than ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @holmz "And it does not matter what every member of the audience is hearing..." If you’re a member of the audience, it certainly does! It matters to oneself. Ultimately, it does not matter what every measurement is telling me, if it doesn’t s... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? Thanks @axo1989 I’ll do that. |
