| Linear Power Supply? I'm sorry. Where did I "deny" anything? I simply pointed out that the OP is concerned about replacing a wall wart that contains an entire power supply, which launched a discussion of switching power supplies (SMPS) vs "linear" power supplies (LP... | |
| Linear Power Supply? Viggen, Sounds like in your case the wall wart WAS a transformer, only. That’s different from the situation under discussion where the wall wart is a complete power supply, meaning a transformer plus the downstream parts required to generate DC at... | |
| Linear Power Supply? I am not knowledgeable enough to concoct an explanation for why a tube based motor controller might outperform a solid state one, for performing the function required in the Brinkmann system. But I do know that such a rationale exists somewhere, ... | |
| Linear Power Supply? Like I said, it's a matter of individual perception. Is there likely to be a measurable advantage to the LPS vs the existing SMPS, in terms of noise in the audio signal or speed control accuracy? No, I don't think so. But will you hear a differ... | |
| Linear Power Supply? You have asked a very complex question, believe it or not. First, one can argue whether "noise" from a turntable motor power supply can even enter the signal pathway. The answer is it can enter by direct radiation of EMI and/or RFI from the PS its... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? If you are happier with the Benchmark, so be it. Good news, in fact. | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? Although I am not as vehemently opposed to the L7000 as is Raul, I agree with him in general that you ought to work with what you have, first. If you can borrow another linestage, either tube or SS, that uses another method of output coupling, yo... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? qwin, After your last one or two posts, I am no longer certain what is your position. The SP10 Mk3 is simply in another league from either the SL1200 Mk2 or the 1200G series, BUT, as Raul already mentioned, no Technics turntable used a coreless mo... | |
| Alphason 100S tonearm tracking force adjustment In addition to following the instructions given you by Dover and frogman, you would be well advised to purchase any one of the many digital VTF gauges that are now available online. There is no need to spend a lot of money on one, but choose any ... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? qwin, I cannot comment on differences in sound quality between an SL1200 Mk2 and the 1200G series, but do bear in mind that there are several variants of the G series, to include the G, GR, GAE, and lord knows what else, and that the low end of th... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? Raul, Just to be clear, I have never heard any transformer coupled line stage. That is why I take no position up or down on the Allnic. For all I know, you are correct in your evaluation. I assume you have heard it. | |
| Check this out. Must be superb because has nano-copper. I hope the casing is airtight. Else the copper dust will oxidize and that wouldn’t be good. Assuming the copper dust (aka nano particles) does anything good in the first place. | |
| Kuzma 4 point 9” or 313VTA What is a “313VTA”? | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time I thought we were talking about pace, rhythm, and timing, which are actually 3 words that mean the same thing in audio. But none of them refers to “emotion” except obliquely. So,yeah… | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time "In any case shouldn't PRAT be more a function of the loudspeakers than any other component?" No, in my opinion, although other than the turntable itself, I could imagine that loudspeakers would come in second as a determinant of PRaT. (I've alw... |
