| Cartridge Mounting Hardware I believe that the screws currently recommended for the Palladian cartridge are made of titanium. Moreover in a separate communication, the inventor associated with acoustic sounds was very positive about the need for titanium screws for best sou... | |
| Sony PS-X9 Grab it, jose’! | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important So, has anyone ever owned, seen, or heard of a test LP that encodes a single frequency test tone from outermost to innermost grooves, on at least one of its two sides? | |
| Sony PS-X9 I understand where Jose' may be coming from. If you've searched for something that is rare and difficult to find, audio gear or other, and then you find it, you are prone to overpay in just to get the thing you've been after. I've been there, do... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable Don't waste your time arguing with someone who writes this sentence: "Vinyl can only reproduce a fraction of the sample rate compared to 16 bit and 24 bit CD's."He doesn't even understand the fundamental difference between analog and digital repro... | |
| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead I hope you guys know that in the Steelhead, the 5687s are used as cathode followers, both of them. Only one of the two is used for the direct output, bypassing the volume control, when you use the Steelhead as a phono stage only. If you use the ... | |
| Sony PS-X9 Presumably the one that you are thinking of purchasing would come to you in absolute tiptop working order. I should hope so, at that price. I say this because you might keep in mind that you can still buy many well recognized high end Japanese vi... | |
| Sony PS-X9 Uber, I own an L07D and am familiar with most of the lesser Kenwoods, yet I have never seen this particular model. Very interesting. Do you know the vintage, when it was made? Seems to be direct drive; yes?That piece of wood that presents in th... | |
| Sony PS-X9 Schubert, do you want hollandaise sauce on that? | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important fsonic et al, What is measured is the tracking angle error, the degree to which the cantilever deviates from tangency. All the plots I have ever seen plot distance from outer groove to inner groove as a function of the angle by which the cantilev... | |
| Sony PS-X9 I very much doubt you'll find an PS-X9 at an audio show in Florida, but stranger things have happened, I guess. | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important The odd thing is that Raul's native language is Spanish, or I assume it to be. In Spanish and other Romance languages, the verb usually does not come last in a sentence. Truth be told, I usually understand Raul, but I did not understand all the ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Dear Millercarbon, Thank you for "telling it like it is". I've never heard those gaudy products all together in one system, but I can imagine that I might agree with you, if I were to audition that system. However, let's do keep in mind that the... | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important Further, you, Raul, used to claim that exact alignment was over-rated. I know you've changed your tune, just as you changed your tune on MM vs MC cartridges. All of that is OK, but don't pretend to be perfectly consistent in your views. For my p... | |
| Sony PS-X9 totem, You may have a point; I did not look at any photos. From memory, I thought the PS-X9 per se comes as a chassis for which there would be a separate plinth to mount the tonearm. But... |
