| Why mono? Much of the benefit form a true mono cartridge or a mono wired stereo cartridge comes from the idea that only lateral movement of the stylus generates sound. A true stereo cartridge generates information in both the lateral and vertical direction ... | |
| Why mono? Hey Jazzdoc,Have you tried putting the coils of a stereo cartridge in series to sum for mono?dave | |
| SUT for Lyra Clavis Evolve 99 Out of curiosity, what happens when you use the cartridge directly into the phono without a SUT? That will net you 24dB less overall gain. Give it a try and don't listen for absolute sonics but to get a feel for the gain and noise you have in your... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Milpai,What is this CD you talk about? Is it some kind of new format? Obviously recording levels are all over the map and ultimately it is up to the end user to educate themselves and see what works for them or be doomed to repeat the same mistake... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hey Milpai'you stated: "any passive converts the extra voltage to current"This is true for inductive based units. Resistive based passives turn the extra voltage into heat. dave | |
| Why three motors? Hey Dan,There were two links posted by Hiho showing a wooden arm. In the second one (3rd post) the link "Titled TW Acoustic" links to a picture of the table with a DPS on it. The original post has a link to a different picture with an wooden arm o... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Hey Lewm,There is a very nice cutaway of the Kenwood table at: http://www.thevintageknob.org/KENWOOD/L07D/L07D.htmldave | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Hey Lewmthanks for the explanation. what you hear is what matters. the reason I struck up the conversation was to get a better feel for the background of your experiences. I am 100% in the "what sounds best" is "best" camp, yet I still feel I need... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object I realize that the experiments are not comparable but it seems to me that you used three distinctly different sounding tables into a common plinth and they all took on a similar characteristic. I guess the proper thing to do would be to try a diff... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Hey LewMYou mentioned that putting three different tables in a plinth and they all sounded more alike. This makes me wonder if the plinth material is dominating the sonic character and not the tables themselves.I recently heard the same 301 in the... | |
| cart measurement vs quoted spec [b]There is a resonant peak ~ 12dB --- can you believe it, at between 80Hz - 120 Hz!But it does not translate into hearing it... The main issue it that whacked out channel balance. [/b]Are you saying that a measured 12dB peak at 80-120hz is inaudi... | |
| Hi End Pre-Amp shoot out in central jersey? OK,I have to ask what is a [b] phonon that has approx. 200db of gain.[/b]?200dB is a gain of 8,000,000,000.dave | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? 3) Why didnt Dave step up to the plate and tell me he is a SUT manufacturer, maybe he thinks we all know this? Well, as you can see I didnt.I didn't know it was expected. Many forums frown upon manufacturers hawking their wares so I simply use... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Call it 'zilch mode', 'cause you are pumping current through the cart coil and a RESISTOR to no aparent effect what so ever!Why even ask, just put a short circuit...a 10 ohm load will output the same voltage and current from the cartridge period. ... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Dave asked what if he puts a 10ohm!! resistor thereI asked no such thing. I made a statement of fact that paralleling the 47K resistor at the input of the phono stage with a 13 ohm resistor and DISPENSING with the SUT would provide a 10 ohm load o... |
