Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms
Zieman, you seem to suffer the malady of 'a little knowledge being a dangerous thing'. Your lack of knlowledge on vehicule braking systems and dynamics renders your credibility on other subjects suspect at best!With respect, Bob P. 
Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms
A well executed 'drum brake' does indeed outperform a poor disc brake and there is nothing 2nd rate about drum brakes, if used in the appropriate application.Sounds a lot like audio, too. Bob P. 
What does more power do for Magnepans?
One thing wrong with your calculation. One subtracts 3db for every doubling of the distance, therefore 2m=-3db, then 4m=-6db, not 3m=-6db. 3m would be close to -5db, I suspect.Bob P. 
Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it
Agreed, Tbg! And we have discussed this before. Also, yes just because I don't hear a difference, I would not jump to the conclusion that there is no difference to be heard. My problem is with the explanation or lack of explanation to account for ... 
Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it
TBG, why do I persist? Maybe it is the 'educator' in me.Your staement that all objects fall at the same rate ONLY in a vacuum is WRONG. Identically shaped and sized objects of different weights (actually mass) fall at the same rate regardless of w... 
Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it
Davemitchell, and those the vast majority of those who do 'witness' those sonic differences are often the same people who also witness proof that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones!If sonic differences are indeed 'witnessed' by changing... 
Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it
Even if wire and fuses have directional properties, this would make a difference only in non directional current circuits, i.e., DC. In fact, capacitors and inductors only work in AC circuits. If the fuse has some capacitance or induction property... 
What is the ideal weight/mass for a turntable?
I fail to see the relationship between the speed of sound in materials and the material's damping qualities. The speed of sound in the material just indicates the delay for the vibration to be felt (or influence) at the receiving end, has nothing ... 
Which headphone amp is technically superior? Help
Dcstep, I don't understand why you are saying that amp 2 is more powerfull than amp 1. Amp 1 has more power than Amp 2 as indicated by 150mw into 600 ohms, while amp 2 has but 110w into 300 ohms. I suspect that amp 1 is capable of more than the 70... 
Bose 901...really
Wireless, there are no tweeters to blow. My experience with the Bose 901 in 'normal' rooms is that I usually have to rolloff the top end with the help of an equalizer to get the sound that I wish at the listening location. In listening I look for ... 
Bose 901...really
Eldartford,While the Bose 901-VI fit the bill in my number 2 system (driven by Crown D-150 amp), my number 1 system has Totem Mani 2 speakers driven by (egads) a Nakamichi 600 power amp.Talk about not being wed or influenced by 'only one way to ge... 
Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced
Stanton 681EEE. Really, installed on a Stax UA7 arm on a Thorens 125, it was great, although considered expensive back then!Bob P. 
Bose 901...really
Rodman, I have exactly the same recording and experienced the same sensation with my 901-II and the HK citation 16 setup. 16 small speakers in array can move a fair amount of air without needing extensive excursions in the voice coils. Granted I p... 
Bose 901...really
My original 901s were the II version - acoustic suspension with the resonance pushed up to 200 Hz. The equalizer compensated and the boost at 20 HZ was about 40db. They sounded very good and bass was flat to 30 Hz, but I did need to drive it with ... 
Could this be a Major Breakthough ?
Boy I bet that the speaker wire and fuse people would love to meet those people with their 'scientific' testimonials!
