| Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity Isn't the LPS and some others in that series still well regarded by many? And HOMC fans still mention the Glider in whatever iteration (though I owned two and did not much like either). Maybe Benz is not sliding. | |
| Looking for Turntable Reccomendations If you want to start a museum or a collection of audio oddities, then and only then consider the Transcriptors turntable recommended by someone here. Yes, it's a treat to look at and watch in action, but no it is not a good turntable by modern sta... | |
| What Cartridge Manufacturers Will Retip Their Moving Coil Cartridges For A Fee? It's a matter of semantics. Which is to say that nearly all MC cartridge makers will supply you with a "new" cartridge for a fee that is darn near to the OEM cost of the cartridge. In some cases, the new cartridge may be your original one that ha... | |
| Compliance of a First Generation Kiseki Blackheart What is the sound of "tickling"? Is it like "giggling"? | |
| Looking for Turntable Reccomendations PTP Audio Solid 12 is an off the shelf heavy plinth Lenco conceived and built by Peter Reinders, one of us crazies, for a sane person to buy and enjoy. | |
| A weighty conundrum It’s impossible to say much about differences between your two digital scales, except that the one with the range from 0.1 to 5.0 g is the one to use. For best accuracy, you want the VTF you seek (or any measurement of weight) to be within a narro... | |
| Let's Say A Guy Wanted To Chose Between A Koetsu Jade and You’re correct. My error in saying the Jade was the first with platinum magnets. But was the Jade offered both ways, with vs without platinum? | |
| Let's Say A Guy Wanted To Chose Between A Koetsu Jade and On a more serious note, I thought the platinum option was first offered with the Jade, such that there were or are two versions of the Jade, with vs without the platinum magnets. Since Neon asked about the Jade without noting anything specific abo... | |
| Let's Say A Guy Wanted To Chose Between A Koetsu Jade and I'll keep in mind that platinum magnets make for a creamy sound. | |
| Let's Say A Guy Wanted To Chose Between A Koetsu Jade and Difference between platinum and non-platinum is probably the most important factor. There is a diversity of opinions on that. | |
| Direct Drive TT...vintage era....sleepers.... The JVC QL7 may indeed be “demonstrably better” than the equivalent Technics or Denon, but, if they’re likened to the QL7, they’d be in the category of mediocre, compared to the best of the vintage Japanese DD TTs. The QL7 itself is far from the b... | |
| Tonearm issue That would be like attacking a mosquito with a shotgun. You may accidentally kill the mosquito but you’re also likely to do other damage. If you really think you’ve isolated the two possible causes, which we cannot be sure because you haven’t told... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At You say potayto. I say potahto. What is your broad definition of IMD, besides one frequency modulating the accurate reproduction of other frequencies? So I say DD is a kind of or subset of IMD. All DD is IMD, but not all IMD is due to DD. This is ... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At I have some data to talk about, but I need a real keyboard and I’m on vacation in Shelburne, VT. Like Wizzzard is fond of saying, I’ll get back to you. It’s an interesting question, Doppler Distortion. Can we agree that DD is a subset of IMD? | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At I never said it was a “theory”. But there is plenty of debate about its significance and audibility. The only reason it’s of particular importance for ESLs is because they tend to be full range or nearly full range sources. The best reason to use ... |
