| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @holmz Oh man, you're doing Raul's homework for him😄 If I cannot get fed, then at least I can do the cooking or the dishes ;) | |
| First CD player help! A dongle from a phone or iPad is not bad… better than a few players in the sub 1k range. Then just RCA it into a system?? | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets @erik_squires What you can control: Reduce other loads on the circuit such as the lights by switching to LED types Ensure all the connections between the breaker panel and lights are tight Run the audio on a dedicated circuit Run a thi... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp So no papers needed- just a grounding in basic physics (high school level), in particular how alternators and generators work. A 'Sheesh!' is in order here. Ok I had HS physics and few more courses after HS. Ohm's Law and the power formu... | |
| Test LP? Thanks @oldrooney @dover | |
| Another “How to choose an arm” question Excellent tonearm, should fit the Sota. Yeah @dover a friend tried the “Origin Live” for almost a year, and he told me that it was motocrossing out of the groove difficult to get set up. He said the 4.9 fit his Sota and took 20 minutes to set u... | |
| Another “How to choose an arm” question I did see a Kuzma 4.9 for sale. What would that do in how the sound is manifested? Or not? And I think it will fit a Sota sapphire. | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets It was fortunate to not have healed the scars before Thomas saw them. That could have been a bit of a problem. | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp holmz asked: " Wouldn’t loading it down to 250 ohms from say 47k make it softer as the back EMF os gone that “would have been” stalling the motor? " his answer was: " EMF?. No...." the same answer on other 2 subject treads different forums wher... | |
| Power Conditioning - How Important for Digital and Analog Source Components vs Amp? Thanks, I suppose I will need to do a test of a basic cable connected to my conditioner vs a more spendy one. Since I can’t swap my high end amp power cord without ruining the test results, I’ll need to find a demo cable to try. Despite m... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets What is known is NO power cord will solve his dimming light VD problem... Amen to ^that^. I would be tempted to shove in 12ga and call it a day. | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp In illustration using a very low output cartridge vs a very high output cartridge connected to the Current Input vs Voltage Input on the P1 My Sonic Lab Ultra Eminent BC: 0.6Ω output 0.29mV Voltage Input: At 0.29 mV, the Wizard determ... | |
| Vandersteen Speakers.. Are All Other Speaker Makers Doing It Wrong ? I want the chord pluck to give me shivers. @ovinewar1 as the pirates say shiver me timbres. 🤔 | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? @johnk actually I am going to walk back may earlier post. If the crossover or other electronics in a planer speaker are not suffering compression, then it is entirely reasonable for you to have mentioned it. so it’s a sage post, apologies sir. | |
| recommendation for phono pre amp and mc cartridge, around 1000$ each The jist of it is that less wire in the coil means lower output voltage but lighter mechanism hence more detail and faster response. Other factors notwithstanding Does that mean that the HO no longer are tracking and staying in the grove then? |
