| 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... | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... Look, I'm knee (neck) deep designing an integrated amp and from what i have heard, an integrated from Rega (not sure if it's the Brio) is quit good at a great price. So don't move TOO fast.I like your system overall, at quite a modest cost. I'd l... | |
| THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME watching this i can only say -- see an accountant. This is basic accounting. You need costs/bases, revenues and the difference. Clio noted the threshold, which you may or may not have met.G | |
| More watts or better power ? There’s been lots written but here are my two adds: one more factual guidance, the other my opinion based on hearing various Sonus Fabers.1. re: power vs quality - more power is only beneficial if you are exceeding the VOLTAGE limit of the amp. Th... | |
| To Stream or not to Stream how do you connect your tablet to your Bricasti DAC? Does it have the power & bandiwdth (over???) to upsample and stream both full CD and HD? the convenience and simplicity soudns alluring for many at first, but leaves lots of questions. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality you might read my crazy long posts in reply to someone;s questions re: streaming recently. |
