| Springs under turntable I'm not about to argue with whatever one wants to try putting under one's turntable, but I think there is a "logical" argument against putting springs or anything spongy (e.g., sorbothane) under speakers. The amplifier is putting energy into the ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 As I understand it, there is a "science"-based reason for using carbon composition resistors as grid-stoppers. This is because CC resistors maintain their resistivity up to very high frequencies, higher than other types of resistors that may othe... | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? Never mind on the DC iPurifier. I see that it is to be placed between the SMPS and the device itself, in line. A noise filter. | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? What does the iFi DC iPurifier do? Is it essentially adding more capacitance to the filter stage of the PS? Fremer loved the iFi2, so I am guessing he will have even more love for the iFi3. | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Rubber and resonance. Will I ever sleep soundly? | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 With some trepidation, because I so respect Dover and Halcro, I ask is it not the case that so-called "ruby" and "sapphire" cantilevers are one and the same material? That doesn't necessarily mean that a given sample of one must sound the same as... | |
| My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary. Mijo, The talk of Porsches didn't really impress me, but if you are drinking Remy Martin XO, or any XO, then I am impressed. I am going with Kelt VSOP but would like to try their XO.An accommodating view of the tweak situation is even if the twea... | |
| My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary. I said "interesting". I didn't scoff or ridicule you. There is a company that successfully markets magnetized tubes through which you are supposed to run your AC cord and/or your interconnect, with a view to a positive effect while playing music... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Lady Macbeth never heard of Shout. It would have done wonders for her guilt complex. | |
| My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary. So you are demagnetizing your copper or silver cables, that also contain no iron? Interesting. | |
| My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary. Teo, please reread the OP‘s opening statement and note that he himself is dubious that what he is hearing is an improvement. Meantime, no matter how many ancient philosophers and important scientists waxing philosophical you care to quote, there i... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Balanced operation might help, but if the Aria circuit is not balanced internally, you will not get the benefit of balanced operation. It takes more than an XLR input and three conductor cables to have balanced operation. For that matter, the ampl... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Is it ERS cloth? You may need to wrap the component completely so that no part of the chassis is uncovered, and then ground the cloth. A true metal cage is better in this case if only because it allows for cooling.Before you get that crazy, try ... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? Haven't seen a telegram in maybe 50 years except while watching an old movie on TCM. | |
