| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? For the sake of argument, let's assume that RMS measurements aren't meaningless. Taking audio science at face value, there is a reason for your clipping problem. The math goes like this: If 1 Watt produces 94db at 1M, then...97db requires 10 Watts... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples http://rapidshare.com/files/126713680/VenusCardas.aiff.htmlAnd here's the third track. I should have the fluid damper in a couple of weeks so we can compare that as well. | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Here are two "fresh from KAB" audio samples using my SL1210 with the Cardas Tonearm Rewire mod. This is after about 2 hours use only. http://rapidshare.com/files/126702193/TooManyPeopleCardas.aiff.html http://rapidshare.com/files/126688160/7StepsT... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Turntable arrived tonight - The sound is completely different - way, way more "air" and treble sparkle. I'm going to let things settle in for a few hours, then I'll post some "just out of the box" recordings later today. | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Just an update - I spoke with Kevin this afternoon - I should have my 'table back with the Cardas re-wire in 5 days or so - hopefully by Saturday, but by next week on the outside. Hooray!I will, of course, post results as soon as things are settle... | |
| Speaker match Audio Research tube or solid state gear? I was very impressed with Joseph Audio mini-monitors powered by an old D200 (Solid State). What is the power output of the amp you're considering? | |
| Anti-Cables and magnet wire Yes!I have been using magnet wire as my main speaker cable for about a year now. After reading all the rave reviews of the Anti-Cables, I went to their site. I was curious about the "cheap" cables - which turned out to be $10/ft pair, which in my ... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples James1969- Thanks! Pure Vinyl looks really fun. Unfortunately, recording at 192KHz would require me to buy a new computer as well as the interface :) I am toying with the idea of archiving /digitizing people's analog audio and video as a business,... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Thanks for the advice, gentlemen!Zenblaster, I am indeed considering different cartridges as well. I am extremely curious about the AT ML150, the Denon 160, and the Grado Prestige Gold. If the Benz Glider wasn't so expensive, I'd try that too. | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Hi again - I'm starting with the Cardas-rewire-to-RCA mod, so there will be another interconnect in the mix too. This will probably arrive at KAB by Saturday, so as soon as it is upgraded and shipped back, I'll record and post the results. The flu... | |
| Banana plugs, Spades or a little of each? Not to confuse the issue, but I prefer unterminated speaker cable ends. Yes, they can get tarnished and don't look as tidy, but in my experience, terminations tend to dull the sound. I admit that I've never used WBTs or anything terribly pricy to ... | |
| Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if... Are you still considering the KAB fluid damper? If so, I'll be buying one and posting before/after audio samples here in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Just FYI. | |
| vintage turntables? If you're still looking for used and affordable 'tables, I would like to recommend the Thorens TD-125 and the Yamaha PF-800. The Thorens is a wonderful 'table when fitted with the usual SME 3009 arm - stable pitch, big soundstage, refined top end.... |
