| NAGATRON HV9100 Well Vinyl Engine says it was $400 new but doesn't mention if the pre-preamp was included. It also mentions that it is "rare" I for one would like to hear any info on this cartridge and have been digging with little real info being found.please gi... | |
| NAGATRON HV9100 I have one with a broken cantilever. Have been looking for another to see what they are about. No idea of what their value is... maybe try ebay and let the market decide.Really rare or esoteric things can be all over the map. If you find the right... | |
| MC Step Up Math In addition to what Al has said above. Once you understand that there are two different things at play here that should have no fixed relationship to each other, it becomes a little easier to understand. One is the load the cartridge wants to see.... | |
| Clearaudio Azimuth Optimizer V Fozgometer For a bit more than the Fozgometer, you can get a copy of Adjust+ which does azimuth, speed stability, overall speed and frequency response measurements.It is computer based so all the data is available for future reference.If you download the man... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme Record Cleaner I wrestled a 3 day loan of one from Robert at Ultra Systems for RMAF and was cleaning records nonstop at the display table for the show. Cleaned 165 records over the three day period without any issues. I simply changed the fluid after the second ... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Hi Doug,even with an IP contract in place, you are still at a situation where a corporation with deep pockets can do what they want to litigate the life out of the small guy.sadly it happens and many corporations operate by simply comparing the nu... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? @Frank - are you ready to retire on regular monthly royalty payments? I know some good IP attorneys. ;-)Alas even if patented a manufacturer with deeper pockets than the inventor can simply buy one reverse engineer it and come out with their own. ... | |

| Am I going to need a step up transformer? The difference between .28 and .34 is less than 2dB so you should be fine.The closer you are to full volume the better your system gain is set up. Excess attenuation (hair trigger volume controls) just means you are amplifying (adding distortion) ... | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? Hey Dracule1Never had a problem with miller effect and inductive volume controls. Mainly because with an autoformer, worst case is at full volume when the output impedance of your source drives the miller directly. As you attenuate the autoformer ... | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? 10K square wave on every tap (unloaded) of one particular inductive volume control.http://www.intactaudio.com/forum/files/slagleformer_558.gifSame test on another popular inductive volume control.http://www.intactaudio.com/forum/files/0db_129.gifS... | |
| Tube amplifiers and interstage transformers hey,Measurements do have a relevant use, they just aren't useful as a predictor of sound quality.bingo! Measurements are objective, sound quality is subjective and there is a word that describes ambiguous blending of the two in order to manipulate... | |
| Tube amplifiers and interstage transformers This might not be an appropriate response but system synergy is the only thing that can give you what you want.The problem is, you need to know what you want prior to asking the question or you risk a 1000 post thread from others telling you what ... | |
| Amp recommendations for stacked Quad ESL 57's When you stack the quads, how do you wire them?The reason I ask is I have heard a setup with three '57's per side all wired in series work amazingly well with a ~12W amp. It wasn't one specific 12W amp either, I have herd the Radio Crafstsman C-50... | |
| Tube amplifiers and interstage transformers The use of the term "impedance matching" isn't really appropriate for the majority of interstage transformer usage.Typically output transformers are used to "match" the high impedance of a tube to the low impedance of a speaker so they usually hav... |
