| Options for ridding records of static electricity Dear Mijo, You wrote above, "Lewm, it is very easy to measure with a high voltage probe. Building ESLs I just happen to have one. You are not arguing with me Lewm you are arguing with scientific facts of life. All you have to do is get up off y... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Did VDH say what is the internal resistance of your sample? Thx. | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Dear AQ4L, It is good to have you back on this forum. Like Raul, I was a bit surprised to read somewhere here that you are happily loading your newly acquired for demo VDH at 20 ohms. You’ve said elsewhere that your phono stage (the Aesthetix Io?)... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Aaaarrrgghhhh, Mijostyn. Now you not only persist in your unsupported claim that the stylus causes electrostatic charge, you have also added a time frame, one minute! What is your evidence for THAT? If you observe that charge develops in one mi... | |
| VTF gauge Wake up, Rip Van Winkle. Shure SFG costs about $40 these days. And they may claim to be made of aluminum because perhaps parts of it are made of aluminum, but the seesaw is weakly attracted to most low output moving magnet cartridges in my experie... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Most mysteriously to me, UV light at the right wave length and intensity will also dissipate static electric charge. There's an expensive tweak product idea for someone. | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? I have been away from this party but it seems to me that if you use the OEM tonearm on the 1200G to run a 103, you would have to find some way to add mass, like a hefty aftermarket headshell, if you hope to get the most out of the cartridge. I've... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity I'm keeping up my end just because I am bored (like most of us a prisoner in my own house), and it's fun. Plus one of my two audio systems is down and that depresses me. If you arrive at the turntable all charged up with negative electrons (or i... | |
| Turntable dealer/set up percon I think you guys are all correct. Watch a good video AND get hands on personal help from someone who knows what they are doing (like Brian), and then you will be all set to do it yourself from that point on. Select the set-up tools that work best... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity By the way, you're not the only one who does this, Mijo, but this concept of taking the contact patch area of a stylus tip and typical VTF and from that extrapolating to the pressure in PSI is a specious way to think about the stress on the vinyl,... | |
| Rotel Turntable RP 9400 ....any opinions please To the OP: What do you mean by "good", as in good table? | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity I wish I’d had a brother.But I do have a nice dust free sister.if your body is charged all you have to do is touch the LP. The LP is like your unsuspecting brother. You don’t even pay attention to your own analogies. | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Mijo, We have the air and our own skin, both of which are high on the list of solids that like to give up electrons and take on positive charge. On the other hand, we have vinyl which likes to take on electrons and negative charge. When we play an... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity I agree that felt platter mats have not been good in my experience, but I never owned an LP12, and it's just possible that felt may sound good on an LP12 platter. Dust covers suck, too. Just couldn't resist contradicting Mijostyn. He knows how I... | |
| 'Life Above 20kh' Research Paper, Harmonics (Overtones) The late Allen Wright, who was a well known designer of superb preamplifiers and phono stages, wrote in his "Tube Preamp Cookbook" that he or a panel of listeners could hear changes he made to a circuit that affected response at 750kHz! He also s... |
