| Duelund DCA16GA I thought the dielectric was responsible for the sound of this wire? The tin coating is to prevent oxidation. No, it does not melt off and cannot be removed I'm not proposing to remove all of the tin coating, just the very end were it gets sold... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Does the tin coating on this wire melt away during soldering when making ICs? For those of you who use bare ends for speaker cable, are you removing the tin coating with something like Scotch-Brite? It doesn’t seem like a very good idea for the s... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Hi Rushton,Sorry if I missed this part of the discussion, but how did you end up deciding on three revolutions (0.3 RPM for 10 minutes) for the cleaning cycle? Ten minutes seems like a good amount of time based on various peoples' results, but I'... | |
| New garage speaker placement? Are you the dude from that thread on GJ? | |
| Pono anyone? Are you sure your Squeezebox does not do high rez? I play 24/96 files using a 24/96 capable DAC all the time. | |
| Why are records still warped? Moonglum,Your "dynamic changes in VTF" are what TTW and I referred to as suspension movement... I think! Maybe you're talking about something different, such as the platter slowing down as the stylus goes up the hill due to an increase in friction... | |
| Why are records still warped? TTW, it's not just the movement of the suspension system that causes a change in SRA when playing a warped record. Even if the suspension didn't move at all, SRA would change as a cart tracked a warped record since the record surface is not horizo... | |
| Sudden, strange Accuphase FM tuner behavior Thanks, Yogiboy. That's something I had not considered at all, but it's totally possible. Moving the antenna is next on my list of things to try. It's just a cheap little dipole taped to the wall behind my rack. I have recently been toying with th... | |
| Sudden, strange Accuphase FM tuner behavior The signal of the only other station I listen to, whose transmitter is close to the other one, is much higher and closer to normal. I emailed the radio station and they said that they have not changed their power. I'm stumped here. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw,Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but why not do that with no LP on the platter? This way you are lining the spindle up with a precision machined surface (the platter). Vinyl is far from precise with all the warps and what-not. The stylus does ... | |
| Walker Procession turntable Thanks for the heads up. I always like to see Lloyd's products. Non-air bearing, belt driven, pivoted arm with optional remote VTA/SRA and Delrin platter. $45,000 with remote, $38,000 without.https://walkeraudio.com/procession-turntable/ | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped out with this problem. I retensioned the tube sockets which were definitely in need of help. The tubes are now very hard to push in and pull out. I would say that it takes about 2-3 times more for... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bigalt,Another problem with your method is that, because the post adjustment has three screws, when you are "leveling" the tonearm as you do, you are also messing with how vertical the post is. It should be perpendicular with the TT platter when v... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bigalt,What you want to do is put a straight edge on top of your platter, parallel with the tonearm spindle. Then, adjust the tonearm so the spindle is perfectly parallel with the straight edge. Just use your eyes. You may have to play with the li... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Which outlet grips the power cord better between the Porter Ports and the 5362? The Porter Ports are supposed to have hospital grade contacts and the 5362 is industrial grade, so there might be a difference. Can anyone who has both do a quick test? |
