| Riddle me this.... Don’t keep us in suspense. What is the Wood Effect, and what does it say on this subject? I just spent 5 minutes reading about the Wood Effect. This was on another audiophile website in an exchange that took place in 2008. Seemed like the guy who... | |
| Riddle me this.... roxy, In your first post, I think you are thinking of the situation where one channel is 180 degrees out of phase with the other channel, in a stereo system. Yes, that causes very obvious problems, and needs to be corrected so that the two speaker... | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? I don't get why you would ask AFTER having made the purchase. You will be the first to know whether you made a good move, once you have auditioned the cartridge. Like "secretguy" said, I too never thought the V15 series were much better than OK... | |
| Riddle me this.... Results Depend upon the type of speaker (unidirectional vs dipole vs bipole and line source vs point source), the room, and listener bias. But no, it’s not as simple as your proposal suggests. With my dipolar ESLs, I hear no effect at all of chang... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable +1 for roxy. I was thinking the same thoughts but did not want to offend the Linn faithful. Not only does the PF get the nod for its looks, but also for its engineering. The Delrin platter is to be desired because its hardness mimics that of a ... | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? “Vinyl 78s”? Where do you get them? | |
| Furutech DeMaga v Acoustic Revive RL-30 Mk III LP Demanitizers Send me a video of an LP being attracted to (or repelled by) a powerful magnet, and I’ll cave. I don’t deny your experience but I do doubt the mechanism. | |
| Furutech DeMaga v Acoustic Revive RL-30 Mk III LP Demanitizers So you are suggesting that carbon per se can be magnetized or is inherently magnetic? If there is experimental evidence to support that hypothesis, it is publishable in a good science journal. I assume this refers to carbon that is not covalently ... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable badger, In my universal experience with other types of devices that improve speed stability, the resulting improvement in SQ is much more than worth the cost; such advancements are usually transformative. (And for some reason, the cost of such an ... | |
| Furutech DeMaga v Acoustic Revive RL-30 Mk III LP Demanitizers Describe "staggering". Since I don't believe LPs can be magnetized, I naturally don't believe I need to demagnetize them. | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar From my observation of a Tosca, it seemed to use an outrigger contraption, a metal peg that sticks out from the pivot point toward the spindle side. That peg rides on a horizontal support strut set at a right angle to the peg, so as to keep the u... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar What do you like, if you don't like VTA towers? Do you like the inexact and treacherous process of finding the right VTA, holding the tonearm precisely in that selected position for dear life, and then searching for the tiny and usually weakly bi... | |
| Furutech DeMaga v Acoustic Revive RL-30 Mk III LP Demanitizers "Staggering"? | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" As a movie buff, I cannot resist making a minor correction. Paul Newman as "Cool Hand Luke" did not utter the lines, "What we've got here is a failure to communicate". Those lines were spoken TO the Newman character by the prison Captain or ward... | |
| Furutech DeMaga v Acoustic Revive RL-30 Mk III LP Demanitizers And magnetism is not due to a “charge”. Sorry. I don’t know how the whole idea got started, but there are some believers for sure. Otherwise how could these companies sell demagnetizers for more than $2500? |
