| Concerned about my cart/pre pairing I assumed that if you are using powered subs, usually those products have built-in electronic crossovers. I guess I also assumed that the crossover is also driving the main amplifier you use for upper frequencies. That's very worth doing if you ... | |
| Concerned about my cart/pre pairing I thought I covered this in my earlier post. We mentioned that 58db of gain applied to the 0.3mV output of your cartridge would yield a ~0.24V output from your phono stage. Adding to that the 9.5db gain of your linestage would result in a net si... | |
| Concerned about my cart/pre pairing Despite the many self-assured responses you received, no one can really analyze the phono gain inherent in your system without also knowing something about your amplifier and speakers. First, the SPLs coming from your system depend not only upon ... | |
| Tracking error or ?? In a response the OP did incriminate the R channel. Increase AS is a good idea IMO. | |
| Tracking error or ?? Both channels? Please identify the tonearm. | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? The Ypsilon phono stage costs $30,000 and provides only 39 db of gain with a fixed input impedance. It sounds fantastic but price and flexibility do not go hand in hand in the current market. | |
| Phasemation (Phase-Tech) MC cartridges You actually put your finger on the headshell while playing music? Or did I misunderstand? | |
| Sota Total Eclipse package for VPI tables first impression Usually, I agree with melm on making comparisons. I would even suggest listening to one system for two weeks. Then switching to the other drive system for two weeks. Then switch back to the original. ABA works better than AB comparisons, in my ... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? What are the character flaws in your TT101? Does it sing the song of the Volga Boatmen? Does it run on Vodka? | |
| Cartridge recommendations? In general, I would strongly advise a good MM or MI cartridge over any HOMC at that price point and maybe at any price point. | |
| Anyone familiar with Ikeda 9 series (cantileverless kind) MC cartridges? Hi Nandric! Good to hear from you. | |
| Tonearms for reference 78 RPM system Technics SP-10R But the OP indicated he wants to be able to accommodate 16” records. I am well aware of the lengths of the tonearms you suggested and of the restrictions presented by the SP10R, but those are lesser issues if you want to play 16” records. For that... | |
| Tonearms for reference 78 RPM system Technics SP-10R What I don’t get is why Chak thinks that something about what I wrote is funny enough to have him laughing out loud. Otherwise, no comment. | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? There is often discussion of the relationships among the various Victor TT series turntables, the 101, 81, and 71. The page in Vintage Knob cited by Chakster if you click on the blue Victor in his post, clarifies the differences nicely."The TT-81... | |
| Tonearms for reference 78 RPM system Technics SP-10R Small point: Aren't the Technics EPA tonearms and the FR64S or fx and the Lustre all a bit too short for the OP's needs, like to play 16" records? |
