| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats I think this is like what the Supreme Court justice said about pornography. To paraphrase, he said he couldn’t define it but he knew it when he saw it. I can’t define tracking noise but I know it when I hear it. Except I’m not even sure of that. | |
| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats Mijo, You wrote, "It is not really record noise. You are hearing the mechanical system of the record/stylus/cantilever/tonearm vibrating." How does that contradict anything I wrote? Moreover, your statement itself is a bit contradictory internal... | |
| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats If your definition of record noise is “a high frequency copy of the music” then we’re probably both talking about the same phenomenon. I find it varies in audibility in relation to cartridge output voltage magnitude. I have always felt it comes wi... | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content Yes, ok, but to begin with two or more subwoofers would be better than one. | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content In a 15x30x9 room to use only one subwoofer is never going to be optimal, to put it as mildly as I can. One very good reason for using two or even an array of subwoofers is to cancel standing waves. You would be well advised to read the informat... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tomic, I don't think Mijostyn has ever heard the MMC1, so his testimony regarding the Voice would not address the comparison between the two. More likely, Raul has heard examples of both. theo, I think the premier B&O cartridges predate the ex... | |
| Possibly Dumb Question re:Battery as a power supply Like a wealthy friend of mine often says, it's easiest to write the check. | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content Actually, there are more "room" issues (not fewer) when trying to get low bass out of only one sub, compared to using two or more subs. Take a look at the Audiokinesis website. Duke knows what he is talking about, and he is as nice and honest a ... | |
| HAT TRICK To pay someone else to do it is the monofecta. Still worthy of mention and painless. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Dover, thank you for setting the record straight. So do you agree with Mijostyn that vintage tonearms are trash (paraphrasing his actual words which can be found in quotes above.) What I’d read about the EPA100 was that the ruby bearjngs are super... | |
| Recessed Tonearm Armboards Too general a statement to take it as a rule. Recessed arm board may obstruct cueing device motion or impede VTA adjustment, etc, etc, but not in every case. | |
| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats Mijo, This "stylus noise" to which you refer, are you talking about the faint echo of the musical signal that one can often hear if your ear is close to the playing surface? That's the only noise I typically hear, and it's due to the microphonic ... | |
| Tonearm adjustments on the fly Thanks for your response on Durand, Mike. I recall reading the Durand website back when their only product was the Talea. This was right around the time that I heard the Talea for the first time. I was particularly taken by Joel’s background in bo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It is interesting what you say about the soundSmith moving iron cartridges. Because of my happiness with the MMC1, I have considered stepping up to purchase a soundSmith cartridge, probably The Voice or a higher price version. If you, or anyone el... | |
| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats Then there’s the Resomat, which suspends the LP in air above a solid surface, supported only on the tips of rubbery points that are fastened to the mat surface. The result is pretty much the exact opposite of the philosophy of absorbing resonant e... |
