| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 How do you explain the periodicity? Wouldn’t the mat be uniformly charged? | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Mijo, I get what you’re trying to say about the “sound” of a tonearm, but what’s your reference for sounding like “nothing”? Every arm is made of something. How can something sound like nothing? I keep thinking of George Costanza explaining to NB... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Pixies for sure. since no hypothesis offered so far really holds water, who is to say that a step up transformer would not eliminate the problem? But do you wish to continue to operate in balanced mode? I thought you got rid of the problem simply... | |
| Grace Level ll The high end Grace MM cartridges are top drawer by any standard, for any time period, in my opinion of course. | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences Dwette, you actually think you hear a difference between 453 and 470 ohms loading? I am either impressed with your auditory acuity or dubious. Or wondering about your phono stage. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm For me, CF does not necessarily outperform stainless or aluminum or some other metal for use as an arm wand. I’d have to hear both versions. In general I have not been fond of CF in audio, except as headshell material. I do not care for the few CF... | |
| Turntable channel imbalance You wrote, "In this instance I referenced the digital copy in comparison." Do you mean to say that you listened to the CD or streamed version of the same music, and it does not seem out of channel balance? If so, that is not conclusive evidence ... | |
| Turntable channel imbalance It is unwise and often very misleading to judge channel balance while listening to stereo LPs. You have no idea what the recording engineer had in mind when he calibrated the recording equipment. Furthermore, the room itself often plays acoustical... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 "If the signal was sneaking in on the ground, then the SE is tying the phono stage to the TT. And the pin-1 being disconnected, is not tying the XLR to ground. But this also would suggest that the XLR at the TT side may not be wired as push/pull a... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 In connecting a cartridge in balanced mode, to a balanced phono stage, ground is left to "float". As you know, the cartridge has no ground connection, per se, except for a very few older designs, like (I think) old Decca cartridges, and those can... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Why do you suggest that “something happened” to the Viv with CF arm wand? So far as I know, it’s still available, CF being an option vs the standard metal wand. | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 My oscillation hypothesis is officially in the toilet, if the frequency of the woofer pumping is equal to the TT rpms. Over and out. | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 In the post above, the word "isolation" which appears in line 9 of the second paragraph, should be changed to "oscillation". I thought I fixed that within the time limit for editing, but apparently not. | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Not everyone is focused on magnetism. Have you read any of my posts? I’ve just grown weary of contradicting Holmz, who IS focused on magnetism. I let his last fantasy stand as is, because I did not want to appear to be picking on him. Like I have... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm That’s good, thanks. |
