| Springs under turntable I am waiting for someone to advocate some sort of springs for one's listening seat. After all, if all the equipment is bouncing around, shouldn't the listener be moving in tune?Indranilson, I would not be too anal about perfect level for your tur... | |
| Phono Preamp loading for Hanna EL Why is that “dated”? They’re probably still excellent speakers. | |
| Does the 33 hertz frequency turn vinyl into super vinyl "YES" Moderators, where are you? | |
| Phono Preamp loading for Hanna EL There is absolutely no danger of a nuclear meltdown or any other untoward incident, if you insist upon trying the 100-ohm load option. At 100 ohms, using a cartridge with a 30-ohm internal resistance, a good fraction of the voltage output of the ... | |
| Phono Preamp loading for Hanna EL I should have added that probably the internal resistance of the Hana cartridge is about 40 ohms, which is why they recommend a load of greater than 400 ohms, in keeping with the rule of thumb I mentioned. | |
| Yamaha GT-5000 Based on results with my RS Labs A1 tonearm, which is also an underhung design w zero headshell offset angle, I have long been intrigued by the Viv Float tonearms. But they’re just too expensive even though 40% cheaper in Tokyo compared to USA. F... | |
| ls possible to make digital audio sound like analog/vinyl I’ve always been good with numbers. | |
| Phono Preamp loading for Hanna EL What is internal resistance of Hana EL? I would start with 47K and go down from there in increments but not lower than 10X the internal resistance. That’s a rule of thumb. | |
| ls possible to make digital audio sound like analog/vinyl How about 36-24-36? | |
| Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching Signal ground is essential. Shield is optional. If there is no connection between one unit and the other via ground for the audio signal to travel, then you would only have one single piece of wire. In my mind, that would not work at all, but is t... | |
| Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching Also, many audiophile single-ended, RCA-terminated ICs are built such that the shield is only grounded to one end. The manufacturer will typically mark the cable for polarity. In such cases, it could make a difference which end is connected to th... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Elliot, No need to apologize for being curt. I enjoy these discussions, and I view them as a way to learn from others here. We are a very tiny fraternity of people who have even the slightest interest in most of these subjects, so vigorous debat... | |
| Springs under turntable Mijo, No argument here on the necessity for stabilizing an EM, but you previously intimated that this was necessary because of optical requirements. Anyway, this is off topic, and I just wanted to be clear. I used to have an EM, and a person to ... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Elliot, I am not sure what you are recommending, so maybe I am off base in the following statement. If you are recommending setting AS using a smooth, i.e., grooveless, portion of an LP, or a test LP that has no grooves at all, or that alignme... | |
| Springs under turntable Electron microscopes are electronic.At present there is no way to visualize biological molecules using only visible spectrum light microscopy, although there have lately been some tremendous advances in that science too. |
