| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Kickbacks from amp manufacturers perhaps. | |
| Component isolation Without going into the stratosphere, I always do power amps or integrated amp first, either tube or transistor - no difference. That's, after turntable and speakers. Phono stage first will get you nowhere, so will the dac. Preamp maybe but I don't... | |
| Component isolation I can give an example of how to throw the system off the balance while using exactly the same components in the chain, in this case interconnect cables.I usually run the signal as follows: from Goldring 1042 cartridge thru Nottingham arm's wiring ... | |
| Component isolation Well, I don't think the man is asking about this kind of extreme tuning that Michael is talking about. I certainly wouldn't tune for every recording just as I don't adjust VTA for every record but fine tuning the complete system to achieve the bes... | |
| Component isolation Disregard what Elizabeth said. Each individual component may need very different isolation devices.Are you asking because you don't want to spend on the devices for all your components or simply curious ? | |
| Cartridge issues need suggestions Dispose of it as you see fit. And forget about it. Half life or not, the designer has just died and so has the cartridge. Put it to rest. Problem solved. | |
| Will technology make records obsolete one day? For as long as there are records they will not be obsolete to the audiophiles, some music lovers and collectors. They are already obsolete to others. But master tapes and records will deteriorate in time and become unlistenable. For how long can r... | |
| Albert Porter Besides, there is not much to discuss left, especially for someone who is very experienced long time no-nonsense audiophile with top level system. | |
| Albert Porter Nothing quite is, as far as eyes can see. | |
| Albert Porter " around ", sort of. He no longer participates in Audiogon discussions, who can say why. | |
| Re-review where to apply Power cables I would not want to find myself in similar situation, you need all seven good but possibly different power cords.I would probably put one on cd player, another one on preamp and the third one on regenerator.Or, one on preamp and two on monoblocksO... | |
| looking for advice to mitigate inner groove distortion Just get $100 new cartridge and try it with it. We can't see or hear what you do. It's inexpensive experiment. | |
| looking for advice to mitigate inner groove distortion I would re-align the cartridge, maybe using other methods, and check everything else. This should not happen as you describe it. I would examine the cartridge too. | |
| What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ? JIm, your words are running a little ahead of you. Difficult to read. | |
| What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ? I will defend old people no matter what kind of nonsense they might say from time to time.Young are to become old unless die before that time. First learn to shut up and listen then argue, maybe.On the subject of this thread. I heard many instrume... |
