| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. I did mention earlier that the Triplanar and most if not all Reed tonearms are surface mounted, such that no new hole is needed for a vertical shaft that needs to penetrate the mounting board. You would only have to drill usually 3 small holes fo... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. I apologize for raining on the Mijostyn parade, but in this video, where the narrator is trying to demonstrate the importance of having the pivot located at the level of the LP surface (minutes 20-25 or so), he is really comparing the condition "h... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Mijostyn, If, instead of insults to my intelligence, you would point out to me what minutes in the video explain the physics behind having the pivot in the plane of the LP, I would watch that part of the video. I don’t need the part about the wond... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. The major argument against mounting the tonearm on an outboard pod is not the fact that pivot to spindle distance is subject to variation, if the pod is inadvertently moved in relation to the spindle, although that certainly is a major secondary c... | |
| Looking for a tube phono pre Based on the quoted information in bold print, one cannot have an opinion about "electronic azimuth adjustment", because there is not one word of explanation contained in that paragraph. Lots of hi-gain phono stages use cascode input circuits; I ... | |
| Looking for a tube phono pre What the heck is “electronic azimuth adjustment “? | |
| Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables. Unless the VPI platter has the same mass and distribution of mass that is characteristic of Clearaudio platters with the mag lev feature, I would be very cautious about making such a big change to the bearings of the VPI. Anyway, there is probably... | |
| LINN LINTO NOISE Raul, Good to know I could shut down my 3160 before amplifiers, but I will continue to do the normal routine; amplifiers first. It's not a hardship. I took a look at the Stereophile review of the Linto. Apparently it has a switching power suppl... | |
| LINN LINTO NOISE Luigi only wants to know whether other owners of the Linto have had a similar experience to his. Since my dear mom often used to call me Luigi, I am empathetic. Personally, I’m a belt and suspenders kind of guy. I mute the preamp and then I alway... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Reed tonearms and the Triplanar are all surface mount designs, so it is possible you could mount one of those without having to drill any new holes, except small ones for screw fasteners. You’d have to analyze on a case by case basis. | |
| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner A 6-year long discussion about water. Would that our politicians were nearly as obsessed with clean water as are audiophiles. Distilled water ought to be fine, might even be overkill. Filtered tap water, to remove macro sized particulates, woul... | |
| Personal Tuner Evolution No Sequerras? | |
| Help.... I'm scared to 'upgrade'! It has advantages when you have to fit 4 RCA jacks, a ground lug, a PS input, and some switches for loading, along with a stereo balanced output, in very limited real estate. | |
| Help.... I'm scared to 'upgrade'! Nope. The Zen does have a single output jack for balanced stereo. See the above posts ands see photos on the iFi website. It’s on the left at the rear. On the right you see the PS input. All specs say it is capable of a true balanced output. Nice ... | |
| Help.... I'm scared to 'upgrade'! I'd never heard of that 2 in 1 type of connector for balanced output. But then again, I have never owned headphones or any miniaturized audio components. So thanks for that. |
