| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part That's a very kind offer from Chakster. | |
| Roadrunner reapearance For the record, I thought Mantis was talking about driving a wall wart and controlling the motor with the wall wart on the output side of the PE-sourced gear. This was based on my initial misunderstanding of the verbal diagram posted by Mantis. T... | |
| Roadrunner reapearance Depends upon what is going on with the wall wart, but in general I would guess that a wall wart is not compatible with the Phoenix engineering system. | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part I typed the word “BY” when I meant of course of Buy, in my post above. Most likely this happened because I am speaking into the phone, rather than trying to type with my big fat fingers.Dover, I certainly could be wrong, but I think the OP is look... | |
| How many turntable’s have you owned? Is it that you just wanted to be able to say that you started a thread on this forum? | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part It’s likely to be metric.You could by a thread gauge and possibly luck out with a standard metric pitch. A caliper will give you the diameter. | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Ideally, the input impedance for a "current driven" phono stage would indeed be zero ohms, but that is impossible to achieve in the real world (because the signal voltage would be completely lost to ground). As a result, most present at least a 2... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Uber, I think that ("wasting" a grand) every time I buy something audio-related, because I already have SOOOO much stuff here. (For example, I just spent slightly upwards of a grand on yet another vintage phono cartridge, when I already have 3-4 ... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Slim, thank you for your detailed explanation of the whest phono product line. When you first used the numeric designation 40, I thought you had simply mistyped “30”, because I was unaware of the latest update. I can understand that if you have ... | |
| Stylus not tracking and sounds terrible mijo, I very much doubt your hypothesis, if you're implying that there is magnetic pull between the amplifier power transformer and the cantilever. Transformers do generate EMI (electro-magnetic interference) but not very much magnetism. And canti... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Chakster, Obviously, I won't be buying BOTH a Gold Note and a Whest. In fact, I own an old Silvaweld top of the line phono stage (550SWH, I think) that I modified, probably too much. That's probably what I will use as an extra MM phono stage, if... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Funny you mention the outboard PS. One of my longstanding beefs with the Whest stages is that they seemed to lack an outboard supply, which to me is a must, for the price range inhabited by the upper level Whest products. In fact, I just took a ... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Exactly which of the many versions of the west phono stage do you have? I know it is a Whest three, but there seems to be more than one version of the three. I am open minded to the whest , as well as to the gold note. If I were to go ahead and ma... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Reading between the lines, you seem to be saying that despite the high capacitance at the input of the gold note, you are very happy with the combination of the AT20SS with a gold note . It would be interesting to see if you like the combination o... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 I have a feeling they add some capacitance in parallel with the input, to prevent oscillation of the input gain device, which is probably a wideband transistor. And both tubes and solid state devices develop some inherent additional capacitance r... |
