| My Impossible hum issue. Also, you haven’t ruled out an internal break in an IC wire, most likely the phono cable but could be elsewhere, that interrupts grounding. To check that just insert some cheap alternative ICs in place of what you’re now using. For one, try the So... | |
| My Impossible hum issue. Russ’s guess is as good as mine. You’ve eliminated most other options. | |
| My Impossible hum issue. Could there be a broken ground connection inside the jacket of one of your ICs? | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Ughh.. Holmz, DC will move the diaphragm in one direction only, yes. Constant DC of one polarity will eventually damage the voice coil. I suppose intermittent DC pulses could appear as if a low frequency AC source, but….The question is whether the... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Helix is one of the best I’ve ever heard. | |
| What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion? Both you and Raul referenced the same algorithm on Vinyl Engine. I see where it has a readout for distortion once you plug in the known values for any particular tonearm, but I have no idea how it comes up with distortion %, mathematically. I gu... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Two lollipops then. "No insult was intended." MY point. | |
| What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion? That has been a very popular subject here lately. How are you calculating distortion? | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 "I find a subset of people in the Analog section of the board who are terse, unhelpful and impolite if not outright rude and insulting. What could be more unhelpful than to present, as a fact, something that simply false." Would you like a lollip... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Mike, I assume Skos is referring to and thinking of buying the CS Port phono stage, not the TT. But I could be wrong. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 As Mijostyn knows, I too use Sound Lab speakers, the 845PXs. The "backplate", in Sound Lab parlance, is where the bass and treble audio step up transformers and the passive crossover network that divides the frequencies that drive them, are housed... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Sorry. I’m wrong when I wrote DC has no rise time. I still doubt DC is moving your woofer at whatever low frequency it’s moving. And constant DC of one polarity will burn out a voice coil. If it’s rapidly changing polarity by 180 degrees perhaps n... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Show me or describe the wave form. You could be describing a square wave, which is complex AC. DC seen on a scope is a flat line with respect to time. The vertical position of that line will depend upon magnitude. DC into your woofer might burn up... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined I have never used an auto lift nor owned a turntable with that feature built-in. I am in no particular rush to get up and change the record when it reaches the run out grooves. So my cartridges log many seconds in the runout grooves per side, loo... | |
| Second MC Cartridge Choice.....Tokyo FWIW, you can’t buy the top end ZYX in Tokyo, the Universe and its descendants, at least you couldn’t 2 years ago. They’re marketed via the US distributor, Mehran, on the West Coast. All other ZYXs were available though. |
