| Hana Umami Red review Are you powering BOTH the Omega speakers AND the subs from your Cayin amplifier? | |
| Fun with MM cartridge I know it’s only a matter of semantics, but cartridges drive phono stages. Not vice-versa. Sorry. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Agreed. It would be a different product. And they already make and sell DDs under other model names. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Can't stand a lack of euphonic coloration, eh? | |
| Linn LP 12 Sondek which version I think of it as the difference between restoring a classic car and buying the same car in perfect condition. The latter may seem to be expensive and would certainly be more expensive than purchasing the vehicle that needs a restoration, but by t... | |
| High Performance Moving Iron Cartridge Candidates? I am surprised if PL recommends setting AS using a blank area on an LP, but I do not doubt the veracity of Elliot’s description of the video. On the other hand, I am not going to watch it. Since the skating force arises from the friction of the ... | |
| Record Cleaning Using Vacuum Machine for Cleaning and Ultrasonic for Final Rinse Richard, You wrote, "I just let the records air dry vertically in a rack after wetting in the Ilfoton bath." Many of us have found that a rinse in pure water (as defined by you, Antinn, etc) after exposure to a detergent like Ilfoton, is benefici... | |
| Fun with MM cartridge Chakster is not giving away his NOS ATML-170. That's for sure. | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? I haven’t “confused” anything. I was referencing early production cdp’s. I thought I said that. Also, of course the term “brick wall” is a metaphor for very steep slope. I probably was remiss in not acknowledging that SACD and DSD ameliorated the ... | |
| High Performance Moving Iron Cartridge Candidates? I’m actually using chewing gum on the headshell of my Reed 2A, in order to counterbalance my Dynavector 17D3. | |
| Hagerman Piccolo Zero: New transimpedance head amp Ohm already told us that voltage/resistance = current. Why complicate the thought process with a term like “magnetic efficiency “? If in building a LOMC you use a sufficiently powerful magnetic field and as few as possible turns of wire in the co... | |
| Turntable to Phono to Pre connections Wow! It’s tough to sort out all the different concepts contained in the above posts. An RCA IC can be used to carry a balanced signal, BUT not a good idea if the "ground" conductor, which becomes the negative phase in a balanced circuit, is carri... | |
| High Performance Moving Iron Cartridge Candidates? It’s always easy to add mass to any tonearm. Low effective mass is never an insurmountable problem. Also, to be clear, it’s high output MC cartridges that I haven’t liked, not high output MIs. The latter are most of my favorites of all time: B&... | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? bbarten, To answer what I think was a question, yes, the RIAA curve is the industry standard for recording and reproducing music on vinyl. All modern phono stages to be used with magnetic cartridges contain an inverse RIAA filter in the signal pa... | |
| High Performance Moving Iron Cartridge Candidates? I think PL was influenced to get into MI cartridge development and manufacture by his prior experience with top of the line B&O cartridges, like the MMC1 and the MMC20CL. So he first developed the SMMC line of SoundSmith cartridges, which he ... |
