| Help - Phono stages dying!! As the late great Roseanne Rosannadana said, “It’s always something.” | |
| Help - Phono stages dying!! Never let your speakers wash the dishes. (Sorry, could not resist. It's a matter of syntax.)Seriously, it would help to know WHICH resistors are failing and whether in all 3 cases the failed resistors have a common function. For example, is it t... | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup Any shelf will vibrate at a certain frequency. Depending upon that frequency, there will be regularly spaced nodes that remain stationary even while the shelf is energized and vibrating. If you can locate those stationary nodes and place the poi... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum Thanks for mentioning the Yamamoto CF headshell. I own two of them and also an Oyaide CF headshell, and guess what; I like them all very much. Go figure. Very neutral sounding, and they do not color the sound in the way I hear CF tonearms do. ... | |
| 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. |
