| Strangest Phono Sound I Ever Heard Why worry about the tonearm? If I am following correctly, you’ve proven the problem resides with your preamp. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable And you can measure the ”rise” between 5kHz and 8kHz? Because I’d like to see your data and your methods for measurement. I don’t insist upon the superiority of either silver or copper, but I think your premise is poppycock. Have you posted your ... | |
| Acoustic Signature speed change from 33 to 45 Ohv, as in all things, speed control is a matter of constancy not necessarily pinpoint accuracy. You would hear it I hope if speed was varying widely during the course of play. That’s speed “constancy” despite the variables of stylus drag, belt sl... | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? What turntable? More than one brand or type? When you say “off”, do you mean power off or just platter motor off? | |
| Dustcover Blues Like you, Mike, I was joking. I wouldn’t have a chance trying to change your point of view. | |
| Sony PS-X50 - MC cartridge advice please (and general MC cartridge advice) Take Jason’s opinion of MM cartridges and the reasoning associated with his opinion with a wheelbarrow full of salt. There are many MM cartridges that outperform many MC cartridges, although he hasn’t named the best ones. And Grado are not the onl... | |
| Acoustic Signature speed change from 33 to 45 Ohvy, I don’t know why you keep saying speed constancy is not important. It’s the major job of the TT. Not the only job, but the most critical, in my opinion. Who among us uses a TT primarily to record from, these days? | |
| Dustcover Blues Direct drive. Cover off. | |
| Strangest Phono Sound I Ever Heard Check the tonearm leads where they pass near the pivot. You may have drag there. Also check that the arm wand is not fouling the cue device. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable Mijostyn, do you now or have you ever owned a Reed tonearm? | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable Oldhv, was only joking but I genuinely have not liked silver plated wire. I’ve never seen “copper clad” wire in any guise. You make a good point about cartridge coils, and in the case of ZYX cartridges that can be purchased with either silver or c... | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable I’d rather listen to a silver or copper plated turd than to silver plated copper. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable For reasons I cannot cite, I don’t think silver can be plated w copper. In any case, I get the joke. | |
| Dustcover Blues That statement was probably incorrect. Apologies to Mijo. But I still don’t think he should attempt it before acquiring a thorough understanding of RIAA. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable +1 for Erik. Silver or copper but not silver-plated copper, please. |
