| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! Thank you MillerCarbon.I stand (well, sit) corrected. I'll look this gizmo, up but it must be a damper? Clearly it does address my concerns about adding weight on a suspended turntable. Funny that they use gravity int he name but its not a weig... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming holmz- Vandy 2Cs are one of the easiest speaker loads to drive. back in the day i driven them with a < 20 w integrated amp very nicely. | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and @jjss gave a good framework.My two cents is that asking "what matches to the hegel?" is the wrong question. Any really good amp ought to work well with a wide variety of speakers. what you really need to ask is "what speakers do I like?"; what s... | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! MC - you are saying just use a record weight correct? Yes that's one way to hold them down. Keep in mind that with suspended tables (old school) a lot of weight becomes both a load and balancing issue though.This is an AR thread after all :-) | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! and to that i need to fix Edgar's (Villchur) name.... | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! (above -- "classic", i sometimes hate auto"correct") | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! MC - its a chassis old school three point sprung suspension with rudimentary damping. The sub-chassis hangs from the springs, which are centered on three shafts /screws.Pretty normal design from 1950 --> 2000, and all pretty much based on Ivor... | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! Fantastic turntable design. I have two. One is my "B" system daily driver. Now, it has been souped up just a bit: quiet DC motor; acrylic sub-chassis with cast-in bearing; thrust ball bearing; adjustable VTA mount for tonearm, and a good-but-che... | |
| One box do it all at that price, i wonder if your 100W minimum reuriement is limiting your selection needlessly. I wont get into it but a) ratings are often somewhat misleading, 2) 100W is actually only a marginal increase in volume from 40/50W and it takes a lot o... | |
| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS and Actually the optical/toslink issue, unlike many sonic preference sin audio, is not a matter of opinion. It does not support high res all inputs on the DAC support 24/192. I don't know if the Node outputs 192 but that is not a Toslink limita... | |
| Class A Power in A/B amplifiers? 2nd there is no standard. In most amps in fact bias is adjustable. What you may not realize is that its simply a trade off of heat vs "class-A-ness". I honestly find very little difference between a truly high biased AB amp and class-A, and i c... | |
| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS to KGBspy:Actually the optical/toslink issue, unlike many sonic preference sin audio, is not a matter of opinion. It does not support high res; and the optical/electrical component plus the pulse spreading generates lots of potential jitter. It i... | |
| I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank.... I personally find most cables and the differences over-rated by LOT. There are certainly poor cables - you need solid connectors, hopefully a shielded cable, and relatively pure copper twisted pair (or with a shield, not, I guess...). The insulati... | |
| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS Of course, the general answer is "it depends on the implementation of each". But a few rules of thumb are useful and I am very familiar with the denefrips.1. Toslink is always inferior. I wont get into detail on why, but both jitter and sampling r... | |
| Critical oppositions made using inadequate equipment. No. in fact substandard equipment may not only mask differences but reverse what ought to be the true outcome. The dumbest things ever are the folks who compare some $20k speaker to a $2k speaker on youtube. yea, after compression, jitter, convers... |
