| Is the PS Audio PerfectWave P10 Power Plant worth it? grigor, You wrote, "Judging by the THD and the scope graph that shows me how much of a clean up is happening, it tells me that if I disconnect it and somehow do a double blind comparison between wall outlet and the P5 I will not be able to tell th... | |
| Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote" Does anyone know how Hot Stampers acquire and screen their hot stampings?? For example, do they look for low numbers on the inner groove of the LP, showing that the LP in question was one of the first several that came off the master? I’ve always ... | |
| Dustcover Blues Partial retraction. OK, I see that if it were the movement of air in the room, caused by your woofers, that was inducing the Helmholtz effect, then shutting down the woofers would possibly reduce the SPLs sufficiently to ameliorate the Helmholtz ... | |
| Dustcover Blues Man! You really like to turn it up. Most people that come into my listening room where the 845PXs are located (otherwise known as "our living room") complain to me that I listen too loud. My sound labs probably go lower in the bass region than you... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming We were posting simultaneously. Please see my post above yours. Perhaps that will help. I do realize you have already purchased the QL7. | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Greg, unfortunately getting the turntable to operate properly might be more complex and expensive than fixing your tonearm. However, the number one guru for DD TT repair is JP Jones. He can be found at fidelis analog, his website. As to the tonear... | |
| Dustcover Blues If you cut off your subwoofers does the problem persist? | |
| Dustcover Blues Leaving aside our differences regarding to use or not to use a dust cover, I am thinking about your hypothesis that right now your turntable/cover are together acting according to the principle of a Helmholtz Resonator. The idea does "resonate", ... | |
| Dustcover Blues In your first paragraph you describe the very reasons why I never use a dust cover. Also, I think you might be kidding yourself about the benefits, but I wouldn't argue that point. What you're observing is nothing special or out of the ordinary in... | |
| Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage. Any one or more of the above suggestions might help. I can only add a question , was the tinfoil grounded when you wrapped your phono stage in tinfoil? | |
| Dustcover Blues Good idea, tvad. And it allows Mijo to reduce his tranquilizer dose. But we know that any remedy that leaves the cover in place is working because the resonance has been altered in frequency. The resonant energy generated by the presence of the... | |
| Turntable Belt Care—talc or corn starch? I had forgotten that talc is now hard to find, because of its proven toxicity, not only because it physically resembles anthrax spores. If one must use something similar, what about the current version of baby powder? I personally don't think it... | |
| Turntable Belt Care—talc or corn starch? Please forgive me, but I cannot help the thought that powdered sugar would sweeten the sound. Very bad joke, I know. But I gotta agree with MC; don't you want both the belt and the platter rim upon which the belt rides to be as clean as possible... | |
| Dustcover Blues Nature abhors a vacuum, I always say. | |
| Dustcover Blues "Cognitive dissonance". But Mijostyn is smart enough to change his ways, without a therapeutic intervention. |
