| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @whistleraudio He never posted that loading to hard a cartridge will cause stiffness to the cartridge cantilever enough to mistracking. It was my question of whether the cartridge was a current device, and whether the ease of pushing the c... | |
| Current Questions I understand the "I" for current and its origin. Why do all or most electrical items use the letter "A" example: 1.2A It is same as referring to resistance as a thing, and the quantity of the resistance in ohms. Similarly “speed” can be giv... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? @rauliruegas I’ll search those Zavfino threads out. Thanks for mentioning it, as I would not have considered it. | |
| Neutral, transparent, warm First, is there a difference between “neutral” speaker, and one that is considered “transparent”? Yes neutral one is more of tonality (frequency response). The later can be more of a time domain thing. Or it can be something that is different b... | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system So only new turntables? I have an old one, which I got new. There is a also your location, which can alter what might be readily available… both new and used. | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? SAEC are unique in using the same wire type in a commercial product, and it can be found used in their $13000 Tonearm Model. Both myself and a friend now know why SAEC chose this wire, out of the numerous other choices for them to select Y... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! holmz, I’m not sure I or anyone else can say anything that will change your mind. That’s ok enjoy what you have! While I am skeptical, I would be very interested if it did work, and also the theory of how. But I think that you are correct i... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? @imhififan thanks for those examples. In the last “option 3” example: Does one use a specific type of wire? (Like a specific thin silver?) Which company peddles the DIN plugs ? @pindac it appears like might be in the same boat, if one those ... | |
| DIY TT Have you ever given LENCO TTs a thought? … Yeah - there was a fellow in SF that has an older one in 240v, but that went a bit cold. I might reach out again, as if I just do the Eclipse/roadrunner on the Sota I could run it while the Sota is be... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? Well I appreciate the responses none the less. And the specific examples (like the Zavfino.) Thanks guys. | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Thanks @atmasphere . I was under the impression that the current from the motor was the same with and without the load, so 47k would be a higher voltage across the resistance, and lower resistance would be less voltage. Looks like I got it backw... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! It is not only the crystal structure that is changing with current. The diode effect has influence on the directivity of the cord, the saturation of the diëlektricum acts as an capacitor on the time domain and varies after burn-in. And then there... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? @rauliruegas , you are right. This is a stupid thread. I cannot argue cogently that it is not a stupid thread. But I have been, and am, generally remote in the sense of getting to shops and staying abreast of things. (Sorry for being a bore.) | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! But to the subject at hand, okay, I accept the hypothesis that you can't measure cables traditionally to find a difference in sound. Then, observation should be used next. And the observed things are that the bass is tighter, or the midrange more... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? Contempt prior to investigation is a very restrictive place to be. There is nothing like being curious and inquisitive, it is a great place to be, no matter what the outcome of the experiences undertaken, for others the healthy disposition has p... |
