| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet Are you asking why people don't replace worn out tubes? Or are you asking why people don't feel compelled to audition tubes they own, even when the tubes in use are fine? | |
| Phono pre amp Would help if you say what settings are available on your phono stage. Not all of us are intimately familiar with it. Also, what is the internal resistance of your cartridge and what is its nominal output? | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. Can you get it that I am NOT criticizing or dismissing Zappa's music? I am only saying that most people are not so familiar with his music as they are with his persona or his appearance, or both of those. And it's only my opinion; I don't insist... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? thiefoflight, It's not a matter of the quality of work done by whatever aftermarket re-tipper one might choose for the 17D3. I am sure your guy is fine, and so too are many others in that business. The point is that no aftermarket re-tipper can ... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. What IS the exact opposite of "production of consciousness BY the brain"? | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. Yes, I don’t know Zappa’s music, and I do know him by sight and by some of his clever thoughts. I probably should have confined my statement. For example, I could have said, I bet more people know Zappa by his eccentric looks than by his music. Bu... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. I have to agree; Zappa is better known as an interesting person than for his music. | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? The question in my mind is whether indeed anyone other than Dynavector can re-tip a 17D3 with its unique 17mm diamond cantilever and stylus. Because I doubt that anyone but DV can do that, it really is a choice of whether you want to have a "new"... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. And Ray Charles. | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? Like I said, a small change in anti-skate would not affect channel balance, in my own experience, but your mileage does vary. | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? A bit better than using a CDP to check for system balance is to use a mono LP, because the signal then traverses the phono section of your preamp and any problems in channel balance that emanate downstream from the record player but in the phono s... | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? Also, some older jazz vocals were actually originally recorded in mono and then later electronically converted to produce a stereo LP. In the process, some engineers seem to have placed the vocalist mostly on one channel, typically the left in my... | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed Mijo, I am getting a little excited about the idea of a "pulsating" anything, anywhere in my vicinity, given the dearth of human to human contact that characterizes my day to day existence during the pandemic. Anyway, I have to disagree with my D... | |
| Looking for feedback on moving from a 1200G to a Luxman PD151 Interesting review. I have no idea at all about the reviewer and his affiliations, if any. But I thought this passage was interesting: "The small variation of speed (3Hz) was impressive for belt drive, where a wander of 15Hz around nominal was ... | |
| Electrovoice Duchess IV in California Pig in a poke, if I ever saw one. Even if you have heard a pair of these somewhere in the past, you can have no idea about the condition of the drivers. Unless you have no fear of a total rebuild. Not to mention the crossover network components... |
