| Dustcover Blues To cover the dust. | |
| Dustcover Blues Whatever you decide, my advice would be not to try to introduce the filtering externally with your digital filter device. It has to happen in conjunction with transduction of the cartridge signal. | |
| Dustcover Blues Thanks, Ralph. All Atma is saying is that a strain gauge needs a little EQ in order to correct for the RIAA pre-emphasis standard used to cut all LPs. I don’t know whether the SS SG phono stages account for this but I’d be surprised if they don’t... | |
| Dustcover Blues Dear Raul, That’s a very interesting article. The author makes a good point that using the term "fast" when describing a woofer is specious, because the "speed" required to reproduce very low frequencies accurately is within reach of any well desi... | |
| Tonearm for Technics SP-15 Just to be clear, by "fat" I meant to suggest that it is wide in diameter at the base which requires a much larger than average hole in the tonearm mount board. Also, my personal bias would be to hard wire the IC to the base, thereby eliminating ... | |
| Eminent Technology tonearm ET--2 There is a lot of info on the ET2 in these archives and a few aficionados as well. Do a search. Far as I can recall, all of the issues you mention may pertain. | |
| Tonearm for Technics SP-15 I own a B500 with the EPA250 arm wand and a 501H. Unfortunately the base is so "fat" that it really will not fit any of my turntables except my TT101. But I have an FR64S mounted on the TT101 specifically for low compliance LOMCs. I'd have to ma... | |
| Dustcover Blues Mike, You sure get up early in the morning. More important or at least as important in conceiving a supplementary woofer or subwoofer is the cabinet design. The choice of cabinet type would affect the choice of woofer, I would think. So what are... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question And why revive an 8 year old thread to take a poke at 2juki? I don't see where he was even mentioned upstream. | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. At 5Hz, any cartridge/tonearm will be at or below its resonant frequency, at which the frequency itself would produce an apparent peak in response. Furthermore, can one encode a frequency of 5Hz on a record? I have to wonder how one could measur... | |
| Mcintosh MA9000 Phono Stage In days of yore, there were some really fabulous full function preamplifiers, both tube and solid state. Seems that type may be coming back into vogue, but you could also go vintage, which in this case means going back to the 1990s, so still "mode... | |
| Cost of Turntable vs. cost of Phono Stage Get the best possible turntable, tonearm, and cartridge. Then get the best possible phono stage. Or you can do it in reverse order; it doesn't matter. How you define "best" is a personal and financial issue. Ignore the cost relationship between... | |
| Mcintosh MA9000 Phono Stage There is no benefit per se to having an outboard phono stage. What I mean is that the phono section in your Mac should be judged for what it is, not for whether it is outboard or onboard. I have no idea of the performance of the phono section of y... | |
| Brinkmann Edison MKII Phono Amp Evidently the Hebrew word for vacuum tube is the same as the word for "lamp" in English. I like it. | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. What interests me most is that we most of us think our systems sound great, and yet our systems are so different from one another and were assembled based sometimes on very different, even conflicting beliefs. And yet each of us who feels that he ... |
