| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Wow! Raul's speakers sound wonderful in those Youtube videos. I'd love to hear a pair in person. | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live jayctoy, No one would argue with the positive experience you had listening to your friend's system, but in my opinion the system as described is very pedestrian for its day (late 90s to early 2000s) or any day, actually. For one thing, my buddy o... | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention Pindac, this is Audio Technica. And the limited edition bit is called marketing. If there is demand for more than 60, they can make more than 60, I’m sure. But instead they’ll have another new flagship model by then. | |
| Field coil dava cartridge If you took all the conflicting, but earnestly put forth generalizations from learned persons, in this thread and put them in a closed container and shook the container up, you'd have one heck of an explosion. | |
| Ground voltage!! Mijostyn, I’ve always wondered about the origin of the phrase “red herring”, but it does appeal to me. The only time I ever drank so much that I barfed was after also eating canned herring. That was in college, and I haven’t eaten canned herring s... | |
| Phono preamp with best mid bass I’m with tooblue on this question. Tonal balance will be interdependent with tonearm, wires, cartridge, alignment, all upstream, and on amplifier, speakers, and room downstream. | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention Ideally the discussion of this cartridge can revolve around how it actually sounds, rather than its cost, once there are a few end users out there to report on it. Kvetching about cost is neither here nor there. | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Mijo, This is perhaps not the place to discuss it, for fear of boring a few others, but I have been there, done that, when it comes to audio transformers for the SL speakers. First, a single transformer with a 1:100 step-up ratio does not cut the ... | |
| Current sensing phono stages w/Rega? I am curious to know what cartridges have an internal impedance of 2 ohms or less. My own MC2000 fits the criterion, and I know there are others such as the Haniwa that present an even lower internal R, but I would think the list is very short af... | |
| Generally speaking, are MC cartridges more delicate than MMs? "MC cartridges offer a level of performance that is definitively superior to MM cartridges but at 4 to 5 times the expense." This is pure BS and also bad thinking. Are you prepared to say that ALL MC cartridges outperform ALL MM cartridges? If ... | |
| Ground voltage!! If you do really read 80V between neutral and ground, this indicates a problem, suggesting that neutral and ground are not tied together as they should be. Most everyone has said that in one way or the other. Mea culpa for misidentifying the long ... | |
| Current sensing phono stages w/Rega? I think 10 ohms would work fine, for one thing because 12 ohms works fine with my AT ART7, but you really do have to be sure about balanced wiring. In most cases the tonearm wiring easily adapts to balanced mode, but with Rega being British, all b... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Much of the energy used to drive the Sound Lab is soaked up by the passive crossover, because SL (for other compelling reasons) chose to use a resistance in the RC network that comprises the high pass filter that is much lower than the natural imp... | |
| Ground voltage!! If that is true, then you have a discontinuity somewhere between neutral and earth ground. Could be anywhere all the way back to the circuit breaker box for your apartment building. Or could be local. You might call it to the attention of your ... | |
| Ground voltage!! kota, if you are selling line conditioners here, I don't think Audiogon will like it. Nor is a line conditioner at all relevant to the question. |
