| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... @ieales There’s much more to sound than SPL. That snippet you took was out of a response to your post about SS and tube amps not making the same voltage. Are you saying the voltage is proportional to something other than SPL? Or what does th... | |
| length of interconnects for passive preamp My passive sucked the life out of my system when I was using very inefficient speakers and monoblocks, which required 3 meter ICs. Ideally we change only 1 thing at a time. I recently switched to very sensitive speakers (horns) and a stereo ... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity I have most of Doug MacLeod’s work. It seems to be generally very well recorded. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality @lanx0003 What is lacking here is the actual testing / comparison before and after the luxuary power cable is used? Does the power get cleaner? I don’t think it is hard to do, right?😉 I believe the burden of proof is on whoever claiming the sup... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... This, on the OP’s leading post, says a lot: Be true to yourself, but I find very little on earth less worthwhile than having arguments about measurements vs. sound quality and value. It is not like measurements are not largely correlated with... | |
| length of interconnects for passive preamp @williewonka don’t do this: using any old piece of wire is defeating the purpose of having a passive pre in the first place That is a straw man misquoting, as I said I had no opinion on geometry and size. I also said I only care about “leng... | |
| tonearm effective mass vs tracking force One is a static force (tracking force) The other is dynamic (effective mass). Static force is unaffected by mass. Any wriggles of the stylus also produce a force. In this case the equation of F=MA comes into play. Imagine shaking a blowing ball... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... FWIW, I've never measured a tube amp output voltage into a loudspeaker that was anywhere close to what an SS amp delivered into the same load... going back to the 70's. Admittedly, it's a small sample, and largely irrelevant as measurements mostl... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? @rooze that last link you posted talks about the main measurable parameters having the most pronounced effect. Conclusion #1 – A cable’s electrical properties can be measured. In doing so we find there are a number of significant differences bet... | |
| length of interconnects for passive preamp OK Steve lets get back onto the topic of: “Length of interconnects for passive pre.” I see no great point for multi stranded wire in the interconnect. But I suppose if there is some 20-28 gauge stranded wire then why/why not? (I have no ... | |

| Aftermarket Upgrade Question I would just listen to it. You will either like it and maybe upgrade in a few years, like it just how it is, or chuck it or sell it. So I would not even modify anything. Just brush the LPs, and spin em up. | |
| length of interconnects for passive preamp Thanks @williewonka I’ll try to keep my tone civil. Geometry: One of the 3 PS links mentions woven cables, which sound like what the Kimber 4TC and 8TC are. And you also mention the silver gold Mundorf. Is that a single solid core? and… ... | |
| Need help to select a speaker No, I am in California US @inteliaudio I would suggest that you go try some Vandersteens. (And they’re made in Ca.) but I love British (and European in general) speakers better than these harsh sounding Americans. I thought the term wh... | |
