| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? The ad for CC Port says “static electricity is caused by cartridge friction.” So far as can be determined by a search for actual data, that’s incorrect. DS Audio make the same claim in their ad copy. Doesn’t matter if both products perform, but it... | |
| Do JBL D123 ( 16 OHM's) Speakers need a Crossover ? If I understand correctly you’re talking about a 12 inch woofer. What makes you think it’s a full range speaker? D123, yes? | |
| Third Party Services - Phono Cartridge - Retip - Refurbish - Rebuild Services. Isn’t it best to list services with which one has had a personal experience? | |
| Goodbye Everyone Here is why I don’t like eBay for selling: I sell, either audio or camera gear, very infrequently, but I certainly do have experience with eBay. I just bought something on eBay, and I noted that I have 140 feedback entries, all positive, but that... | |
| Third Party Services - Phono Cartridge - Retip - Refurbish - Rebuild Services. Expert Stylus in UK. Retipped my Koetsu Urushi while retaining the OEM cantilever. Very professional at every step. Results are superb, possibly better than ever. Cost very reasonable. 3 weeks including shipping in both directions. I live on East ... | |
| All Stocked Up and Nowhere To Play You'd like to see the form that was filled out in order to obtain the resulting data. Could be a bias introduced by the way the questions were worded. But that does not explain Mahler's nephew. | |
| Turntable/Album static elimination Define "seems to work". Are you measuring static charge with a meter or going on the absence of sparks and crackling sounds? Also, it's a bit unclear; are you wiping the LP with the dryer sheet or just the platter beforehand? | |
| How to clean Karat 17D3 stylus? Audioquest make or made a device that provides a tiny circular pad upon which you sit the stylus tip. Then you press a button and the pad vibrates at something like 400-500Hz, to loosen any particles that may be adherent. It's very effective, espe... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Elliott, I too am a shutterbug, not as active as I used to be but I have several cameras. I want to thin my collection of cameras, mostly in order to get some cash to buy new lenses. Other than eBay, which I abhor for the casual one-off sale, is ... | |
| Reference System TT - Dr. Feickert Analogue or Sota Res ipse loquitor. And I’m no lawyer. | |
| Reference System TT - Dr. Feickert Analogue or Sota jym, Why did it take you 16 months to notice this thread and then get so pissed off? Also, not sure who pissed you off, the pro-SOTA guys or the somewhat less pro-SOTA guys. Next time you are gonna get so furious, be more specific. Two of the res... | |
| Do 5-pole DIN tonearm connectors deteriorate the sound? Yes, the BMC is balanced. So too are my Atma-sphere MP1 and my 3160 Phonolinepreamp. In my Sound Lab system, everything is balanced, front to back. Nearly all current driven phono stages are balanced, but not all; the Sutherland Loco appears not... | |
| How to clean Karat 17D3 stylus? Have you examined the stylus and cantilever under a microscope? That will tell you how dirty it is now. Then you can have another look after whatever cleaning procedure you decide upon. Yes, the cantilever is very short (17mm), but I am not awa... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable I should add that I brought up the Linn vs Sota analogy only to make my point about the significance of marketing. Linn chose to keep the model name and its appearance constant while gradually upgrading the innards (at considerable added cost). ... | |
| Do 5-pole DIN tonearm connectors deteriorate the sound? I doubt there is a "right choice". Each choice of the two has its advantages and disadvantages. I do not change wires for different types of cartridges, as does Dover, so I personally do not benefit much from a DIN connection. In my case, I just h... |
