| Vpi Scout to VPI Aries 2/3 tt ? Or used HRX? | |
| cable burn in process Looking for a diy cable cooker. - Goodwill stores usually have lots of dirt cheap cd players & recievers & speakers. | |
| Are some tracks impossible to track? Newbee may be right, but my rig is not that much different than yours (Aries with JMW 10) and I haven't had a tracking problem with 3 different carts and a wide range of settings and adjustments. Also any of the three carts I've used lose dynamic ... | |
| Humidity question - please try to answer... Hmmm, another factor could possibly be how a rainy day effect your mood. | |
| Helikon LOADING Nsgarch - Right. All - Thanks! | |
| Helikon LOADING Nsgarch - Just pondering magnetic damping from the cart working like an alternator. If you go back to your descriptions of sound at too high and too low of loading values, it is similar to what you would expect of an underdamped and overdamped (re... | |
| Helikon LOADING Gmorris - Thought you were using iX for inductive reactance, point taken. Am still wondering if anyone will bite on mechanical damping being an important (or not) aspect of cart loading though. Happy listening all! | |
| Helikon LOADING Gmorris - isn't it Z*Z=R*R + iX*iX? Other thing, nobody has talked about loading providing mechanical damping of the cartridge. I wonder if it is important? | |
| High priced power cable what about the romex Redkiwi - Interesting moniker. In any case, yes I've fiddled with digital cables and power cables. I've still got two fancy power cables and acoustic zen's digital cable connected in my system fwiw, (When I take up hours of a dealers time or other... | |
| Power Conditioners Tom - You do realize that there already are filters inside of almost every audio device? Other thing, what you want in electron flow is being delved into under the heading of superconductivity, maybe one day. | |
| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches Anybody ever hear the 5A's with BAT tube amps? | |
| Dedicated circuit = dedicated line? You could add a power conditioner at the breaker if you wanted to get fancy, and I'd call it a dedicated circuit as is. If your lights are incandescent you might try listening with one or more on, a constant resistive load (good old fashioned ligh... | |
| Helikon LOADING Nsgarch - Good stuff, thanks! I started out out of phase with you on terminology. | |
| Helikon LOADING Nsgarch - Thanks. If I understand your approach,the 25x rule of thumb is a loading starting point. You are not really trying to match impedance between cartridge & phono pre but trying to find a sweet spot for cartridge loading that is within ... | |
| Helikon LOADING Nsgarch - why do you care about impedance matching? |
