| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? I recall seeing a video on YouTube (sorry I don't have the link) that showed a cone flexing and going out of shape as it moved in and out, so the selection of cone material by the manufacture is really important. @pedroeb is this it? | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @coltrane1 You really have the "Hey kids, get off my lawn!" vibe nailed. @hilde45 like this? | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? @hilde45 I mean “B”. Maybe more manufactures are using it now on the high end, but at the lower end “cheap sells easier than good does”… and a lot buzz like it is a speaker built by a bee keeper. DSP in active speakers. Drop a Dutch and Dutc... | |
| TT speed @dover “Bridge the gap” or… 😎 | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? The materials science existed in the 80s and 90s too , and some well behaved speakers were made. Why are there still speakers being made with nasty resonances? (Cost is the main “driver”) | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) This is a troll question and insult to any audiophile. How can you be an audiophile and not already know which design is superior? Everyone knows Class A is pure euphoria. Stop this noise about Class D. But in the end you make a choice and pay yo... | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? I think advancement in speakers is similar to advancement in other electronics like TVs and computers. Many things are similar and there’s amazingly good speakers at reasonable price points. In the active speaker space ^this^ is clearly true. ... | |
| TT speed I am sure it doesn’t matter, but unless the track is running in a circle, the pivoting arm will produce a very slight chirp in the tone. The example of a linear tracker with a moving overhang is obviously not something that one buys… but it was y... | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? A very few speakers from 20-40 years ago had no resonant cabinets. But even today there are a lot of speakers with cabinet resonances. There are a very limited number of cones that do not distort and changes shapes as breakup modes. Some motors ... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) @holmz They believe that everything comes down to Sinad, THD and measurements. You like a warm sounding tube amp? Welp you must be a fool because the THD and Sinad are horrible. I have not claimed that I am not a fool. They trying despera... | |
| TT speed @lewm I mentioned the scratching more as humour, but that is also the motion needed in the wrist if we put a spoke onto the record and help the stylus tip on it as the move from outside to inside. I already gave the method for a relative test ... | |
| DIY TT @rauliruegas Then I fabricate some tone arm holders and mount them onto one of the 3 feet? @pindac do you have a link to Aurex - somehow my search is coming up empty. Or maybe I need to change the search location to Denmark ? | |
| DIY TT Thanks Jim - I am relatively handy with the wood tools. Not great - but good enough to with table saws and routers. I might pull the Sota apart and inspect the bearing and take some measurements. | |
| TT speed Your fervour for FFT analysis appears to be an impediment to understanding basic maths and physics. The FFT is pretty much sub-optimal for anything but gross frequency related analysis. There is the cross correlation (time domain) - which re... | |
| DIY TT @lewm Iwas responding to Raul, who asked Btw, which TT/tonearm/cartridges do you own? So yeah mentioning the TT - I guess also could mean that there are the implicit question of: Maybe just stick with the Sota? Cannibalise the Soto for mo... |
