| 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... | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? I think it’s clear by now that the root premise of the OP is false; no need to beat a dead horse any further. | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? It was a joke, Pindac. Humor, not semantics. | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? Above, should have written “neither SS nor anyone else…” | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? You probably did not talk to Dr. West, as he is very hard of hearing if not actually deaf, and he does not talk on the phone to anyone. You may have exchanged emails with him. I have done so myself, and he is a very nice man and very tolerant of h... |
