| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Since a cartridge is also a generator, asking it to make 400X more energy will affect it in a similar way. The only variable is that the cantilever has a springiness that affects the outcome of the equation. But its a simple fact that the coil it... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? I posted because I feel many over-fixate on known or obscure issues without realizing nothing is or can be perfect all is flawed I guess Easter week is as good a time as any to get philosophical, but even my almost 40 year old speakers have so... | |
| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... There is more than one way of shielding from vibration. I favour unsprung TTs, no added springs elsewhere (boing boing) - who says vibrations can't pass through springs? Hooke? | |
| Upgrade path question with $2k to spend What city are you in @icegeek ? | |
| First CD player help! Or just put them on the computer and stream from there? Do you have a computer with a CD/DVD drive in it? | |
| New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120? Have fun. Cord will certainly cost more and do less. Some think zero, others disagree. Certainly the other mods you suggest would make real differences. Including the outlet. Compared to the cord, they are useful things. | |
| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... Your example of an earthquake (caused by seismic movements, not by vibrations), is extreme. Yes an earthquake may spoil your listening. It may also bring your house down around you. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? @johnk are we talking about compression? Or something else? I would not claim to be an expert on thermal dissipation through a conductor which travels through a magnetic field. Me too. However through the decades of experience in elect... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Again, you readed it in a wrong way because you or me can’t find out any " wizard " in my whole system. What’s happening with you and with what you read here and every where? R. OK @rauliruegas what is this: The P1 "Wiz... | |
| Should I turn my CD player off when I am finished for the day I have had my Nakamichi 5 disc on for 20+ years. (Well, I moved it a few times, and we have power outages.) The good part about it is that when I do start it up it is a crap shoot whether it will be Bad Religion, Doug McLeod, Immortal Techniqu... | |
| Does a graphic equalizer show where your amp is lacking? If you like it, then just pour any extra funds into a CD or two. And if it is OK for you, then the last thing you want to do is start spending up on cables. | |
| Moved countries, help me get a new stereo system The Munich show is in a month or two… | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp atmasphere @holmz : " " Your target for mechanical resonance is between 7-12Hz. The mechanical resonance is a product of the mass of the cartridge in the arm vs the compliance of the cantilever of the cartridge. Changing the load from 47K to 1... | |
| Vandersteen Speakers.. Are All Other Speaker Makers Doing It Wrong ? Nope. My speakers are the bestest. Seriously though. I had a pair of Tekton DIs and a Lyngdorf 2170 with room correction. One thing it does it correct timing in the DSP. The DIs sounded downright messy with the DSP off comparatively. Never ... | |
| Test LP? Thanks @mijostyn I am considering some of the correlated pink noise tracks like REW uses. But I do have one of the commercial LP coming. I opened a record yesterday, and it was the anti-skate one, so not much on it 😂 |
