| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer Seems gravity has to do with time dilation due to mass of earth. Who woulda thunkit? | |
| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer Good question. I have no idea how it works. But Stan Ricker says his LP demagnetizes on (as I recall) cuts 2a, b, and c on side A. I am guilty of believing Stan Ricker. I have wondered how it would work, but not as much as I wonder about othe... | |
| Cary Audio SLP 98 Mundorf capacitors & Hexfred rectifiers upgrade This is an old thread with an old question that no one answered. I came here looking for a comment on Mundorf MCap Evo Alu capacitors used in a PS, but I wanted to mention to the OP that there is no rationale that I know of to use Hexfreds in our... | |
| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer It’s not “audio law” at all. It’s physics of the metals used to build SUT cores. I forgot to mention that I personally prefer to demagnetize LOMCs using a test LP, which I don’t think can damage the cartridge magnets. Cardas test LP, for one examp... | |
| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer With LOMC you certainly have to be careful and know how n advance your doing it in a way that won’t do damage. With a SUT, it’s mental masturbation; SUTs don’t become magnetized. | |
| Stereo cartrdge now playing mono!! The Decca London had a top that could be removed by sliding it off the cartridge body. Then you had access to a platform that fixed the position of two of the coils using two set screws that if re-set in unison could move the platform up or down.... | |
| OpenAI GPT3 chatbot's opinion on vinyl playback OpenAI is a troll, don'cha know? | |
| Grace F-9E You cannot modify cartridge inductance. And if you could, you’d do it to the cartridge not the phono stage. Fret less, listen and enjoy more. Likewise for loading an MC cartridge. If you stick to the 10X or greater rule (load R is at least 10X the... | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? “Asia”? Where in Asia? It’s a big place. To buy an AT cartridge from a known seller in Japan (aka Asia) is no or very low risk. | |
| Grace F-9E wrm, internal impedance of an MM is always very high. So too is inductance, which is typically the difference between less than 50 micro-Henries (for MC) and hundreds of milli-Henries (for MM), i.e., as much as or more than 10,000X. So I doubt t... | |
| Phono Stage Question..... Sutherland, to the best of my knowledge, did not invent the idea of current drive. As noted elsewhere, every current driven phono stage is going to sound a little different with any given cartridge. This is my experience as an owner of a BMC MCC... | |
| Grace F-9E FWIW, Soundsmith make a complete replacement stylus and cantilever assembly for the Grace Ruby cartridge, which was naught but an F9E with a sapphire or ruby cantilever. Best of all, the SS product comes with one of their line contact styli, which... | |
| DIY TT Mijostyn , I am well aware of the difference in the method for speed control between the SOTA eclipse system, and the Denon Dp80, because I have both, as you may know. Of course, I do not own a Sota TT, but I have the phoenix engineering prequel t... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience If the information available from Rothwell answers your questions, that's great. Just beware of the passages where they compare the relative virtues of active high gain stages to SUTs. Because they sell transformers. Also, if Intact Audio and Rot... | |
