| TT speed Thanks @4krowme it was great that Larry could describe it better. I felt like a scratch DJ moving the platter back-n-forth over the protractor when it occurred to me. So it is more of interesting… but not entirely relevant. If we had a short re... | |
| Where did he go? He may be cutoff from the rest of the world, but that is sort of orthogonal to the fact that it says “suspended” on this forum. AFAIK - this forum is not affected directly by the politics of war. | |
| TT speed I suppose that since the speed variation from the stylus movement angle is lower than most W&F specs it is not really a concern. I think that what he is saying is that the stylus tracks an arc across the record, which means it is at some ... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Dear @holmz : I’m not talking of theory as you and other gentlemans but about what we live day by day and what we listen through our room/systems. …. Well that Benchmark AHB2 has a SINAD of 120dB. It is getting down towards the theory sid... | |
| DIY TT Thanks @clio09 @lewm @rauliruegas & @billwojo I did find a Luxman PD555 sort of near by, but it is ~5500 (USD). That would be a bit easier, but sucks up a lot of budget. But maybe it is worth consideration too? | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality I tried power cords with neodymium magnets on both ends by the plugs on my power-amp (I don't know what other mechanisms in the power cords were at play). Even before I dropped the needle on the album, I noticed a slightly blacker background and... | |
| Where did he go? I see them now. Thanks @reubent | |
| Where did he go? I do not even see the section where there were photos of his gear. Chakster will probably be allowed back in in time and he'll tell us what the Russian public thinks of this mess. @mijostyn Was it the FSB, or others in their republic su... | |
| TT speed At least it is not a large number, but maybe it accounts for a tiny perception of tonality in people with pitch perfect hearing? (Not me) | |
| Has anyone tried the Deulund-Mundorf Ultra Speaker Purifiers? I just use speakers that are as pure and clean as the driven snow. | |
| Groovemaster II tonearm How can a tone arm make a dark top end? | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... @rauliruegas " to remember Julian Hersch from Audio magazine and his very unscientific view that all amplifiers sounded the same once they met a certain threshold. Now the site Audio Science Review pushes the same. " When they have zero dis... | |
| TT speed Sorry, you will need to restate your question as I don"t have a clue what you are asking. Also, state the type of protractor, single point, arc etc. @testpilot It is a paper protector for a 9” arm which has 13mm of overhang. Maybe Baerwald? I ... | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? @holmz - he's asking if too much absorption is a possible reason for the system not sounding lively. I say, very unlikely that this singularly would be the culprit ^Agree.^ We have no info the speakers, and we have no info on the rest of the ... | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? The proximity of the speakers to the floor means it is the very closest first reflection point, unless you have speakers sitting right besides walls (even if you have to downsize the listening triangle, bring speakers off the side walls if you ca... |
