| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Thanks @rauliruegas . I was using this: I see it says effective length: 239.3 (but I have a CB-9 not Bond’s CB-11) And then and here: I see it says effective length (IES/RIAA): Baerwald: 239.296 Loefgren B: 239.749 S... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 @lewm It is not DC… by definition is like a sine wave or really more like a wavelet that is at a period of 33.3/60 of a second. However it is maybe not a 1/2 Hz sinewave, more likely it is a flat line, with a heart beat that is happening over a j... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Thanks for sharing your experience with Dohmann, and the details about cartridges that you discussed together! I’ll have to look into that WAM zenith disc, but I’ve been using the AnalogMagik software with decent results, and there is one aspect ... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Constant DC of one polarity will eventually damage the voice coil. Only if the DC wattage is enough to cause the VC to rise beyond its temperature capability. A small amount will only slightly warm the VC… R*I = power and those electrical watts... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Thanks for sharing! Was the Dohmann HQ in Australia, or Bulgaria (as I just read a Fremer article about Dohmann, Schroder, and another sound equipment manufacturer joining together to form a conglomerate in Bulgaria.) The outskirts of Melbour... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 I'm not the most knowledgeable about different turntables, so my experience is rather limited. I've only had a Rega P3, Rega P8, and then made a (very large) jump to the Dohmann Helix One Mk2. The audiophile friend who's been in vinyl for decad... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 … DC into your woofer might burn up the voice coil but won’t move the diaphragm… @lewm That is false… DC will make a constant magnetic field that will then push the diaphragm off center. It would need to be a pretty high offset to deliver eno... | |
| Looking for cartridge recommendations @DeKay you make some sage points sir. | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus Ringing for a week, and other subjectives have been replaced with an iPhone. And the Etymotic ear plugs are like $15 (USD), so there are not a lot of excuses… If they worked out a way to power the phone through the microphone I could have charged... | |
| Speaker Cable Question If you have some of boys an hand, then maybe try a mismatched set on the main 2-channel side and push a stereo signal though it? Maybe one can hear it… Certainly if the cables are very long and one has a high inductance or capacitance compared to... | |
| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer What is the budget? The TDAI is probably the best solution if on needs an amp and room correction and a streamer, but you are probably not in that boat. | |
| Speaker Cable Question It likely does not matter a whole lot, but sticking with the same cables is easy to justify, Does your HT unit do channel by channel EQ? | |
| Anyone care to share their opinion of the Vandersteen 2ce sig mkII? It did good things for the bass of course but I didn't like what that did to the imaging. I am somewhat limited with width getting them max of 7' on center. The room has some treatments with fairly thick floor to ceiling corner traps and first re... | |
| Connecting a phonostage to a processor. Give it a try. Does the DAC have an EQ feature? | |
| tube amp for home theater AND 2 channel? I’m running tube amp 2 channel I’m also running 7.2 channel HT and the tube amp powers the 2 front channels. I just run pre-out from my HT receiver to a spare input on my tube amp. This is the basic premise of HT bypass. I really don’t see why... |
