| Audiophile Switch with Clock? In other words - please ignore the sane voices in the hobby! In other words, please ignore the people who are not speaking from actual experience. | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup Thanks, @lalitk. I appreciate your and everyone else's advice! The power cord on the Aurender in an AQ NRG-Y3 and the one on the DAC is a factory-style one, albeit very beefy. I have a few Oyaide Black Mambas that I can try on any of the compo... | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded Totally stock. I did a little tube rolling years ago, but didn't hear much of a difference. My system wasn't very resolving or fine tuned back then, though. | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @bh123 - Great post. I had a similar experience going from a Node 2 to a N100SC. | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded @jafant I have one in my rack but haven’t used it in years since streaming is so good and easy. | |
| Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique @baylinor & @mijostyn It seems tilted to the left a bit. No. The stylus is not perfectly perpendicular to the record. It is slightly tilted to the left side of the photo. Correct. That is what I see and why I started this thread. I ... | |
| Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique The stylus is on a reflective surface, not a record. I'm not sure that having it on a record would add any value, would it? If anything, it would eliminate the reflection which would be a worse way of looking at it. Is it even possible to see t... | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? How is it that the consensus is that an ET2 won't work on a table with springy suspension but it works well on an Oracle? Is the Oracle's suspension not considered springy? I have an ET2 on an Oracle and it seems to work well. I'm just wonderin... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ketchup, I used epoxy to attach the flat springs to the 15 cm I-beam. @delm Thanks. Bruce Thigpen told me that super glue works well, so I assume that's what he uses. I'm sure epoxy would also be fine, too. | |
| Direct Drive My own tonearm adjusts azimuth to less than 1 minute of arc, and just this evening I found myself changing over a +/- 2 minute range with clearly audible results. Not many arms can do this, and unless they can, cartridge performance suffers. @... | |
| Direct Drive As in a classical motor, the rotor is driven by the stator due to electromagnetic interaction. Nothing physically touches the rotor (in this case, synonymous with the platter) in a motor What about the bearing? | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? He claims that just mounting a second arm would degrade the sound quality of the first arm. @thekong I don't have a multi-armed TT, but it sure seems like the unused arms could pick up airborne vibrations and transmit them to the plinth. I alw... | |
| Direct Drive @theophile the gear is still there, but it disappears after 30 minutes. I actually used it on this post. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? Did ya read the whole thing or just cherry pick the line. If you can show me a 70s era classic that run a sub 10 second quarter, have a top speed of over 180 miles and hour and brake 60 to 0 in less than 110 ft, pull over a 1 G on a figure 8 usin... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? I appreciate the response but the real answer is you can't make a classic outperform today's cars Sure you can. It's been done tons of times and even pointed out in this very thread already. |
