| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? Every time one of these threads come up, with one or more persons singing the praise of R2R, I am tempted to get into it. Then, one of my local friends who is already deeply into it says, no. That I would be crazy. But when I listen to his tape... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum Note that I and several other very experienced listeners have independently come to the same conclusion regarding carbon fiber in the vinyl reproduction path. It tends to kill the liveness of real music. Theories involving stiffness, hardness, com... | |
| Back To Static! Magnetization and static charge are two different things, even though both result in an attractive force between two objects. But don’t expect a demag to have any effect on an existing static charge, except where the charge might jump from the obj... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum Since this is only a matter of opinion, I would offer my opinion that I have not found most carbon fiber pieces to be good for verisimilitude in my audio systems. In particular, that has been true of the very few carbon fiber tonearms I have heard... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? MC, Relax. We know about both. I’ve watched All the Presidents Men and Dick several times over. I prefer the latter version of events. Plus I lived through it in Washington DC. Also, I always considered mission impossible to be a campy joke. | |
| Replacing the SME 10 stock tonearm Have you consulted SME or one of their US dealers (assuming you are in the US)? Also, you might post this question on Vinyl Asylum; there are many SME aficionados there. Also, Google it. | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? This thread will self-destruct. | |
| Back To Static! What about the debate on dust covers as it applies to static charge accumulation. Did you compare the charge on an LP played with dust cover removed vs charge on an LP played with dust cover in place?If only we can figure out how to play records ... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? It might have been a teenage girl, if the events depicted in one of my favorite movies, “Dick”, are factual.if you don’t know, the allusion to Peter Graves is owed to his role in the tv series Mission Impossible . | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered In the course of this discussion, I came to appreciate that you are most interested in preserving the original or vintage sound of your speakers. Which is surely a worthy goal. That is why I suggested you can keep the frequency divider network as ... | |
| Otono-Edison MC cartridges I'm just saying the Otono-Edison cartridges I saw on sale in Tokyo don't have the characteristic look of Miyajima cartridges. I made a point of adding that I do not doubt what you say, and my prior understanding is the same as yours. | |
| Otono-Edison MC cartridges This doesn't help, but I did see Otono-Edison cartridges for sale in Tokyo. They don't resemble any Miyajima cartridge I know about. Not to say you are wrong about their relationship. | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered I promised myself to stay out of this, but on the bottom of p.2 of the brochure, Figure 3, you have a schematic of the crossover with values. You could easily rebuild that exact circuit, at least that switchable segment, with modern high quality ... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm I am trying to figure out how some of the claims are justified. "Weightless"? "No pivot"? The arm and headshell MUST have effective mass in order to work with cartridge compliance, and it is clear from visual inspection that they do. Therefore... | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet I'm using those very same S&H tubes in my Manley Steelhead. And this will killya: They were given to me by a friend who converted to solid state. Don't ask me if I like them, because I am biased to love them, now that you told me how much t... |
