| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. It might be subtly irritating to be around the US machine when it is in operation (via bone conduction and other ways we sense ultra high frequencies), but can your hearing be damaged by frequencies that are so far above the range of audibility? ... | |
| First Turntable - Direct drive or Belt drive? Omigod! Too many questions.To buy LPs in volume in order to start a collection, and unless you are very well off financially, I suggest you need to find a reliable source of used LPs. Best to buy direct from a dealer; don't buy off eBay. Fortuna... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. There is a sort of "scientific" way to ask this question, if you have an oscilloscope or a very high quality AC voltmeter and the requisite test LP. Play some of the pure tone high frequency bands on the test LP, record the amplitude of the AC vo... | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? Ditto for me with my Grace Ruby re-tip, using the OCL stylus. When it's good, it's very very good. Etc. | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? If you ever do consult Peter Ledermann regarding your issue with the Sussuro please let us know what he says. He was very helpful to me when I had an issue with a Grace Ruby re-tip. And no one knows the sussuro better than he. | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? Except setting azimuth with a mirror and any setting of anti-skate are inexact. Anyway VTA is where it’s at for this issue. Also I’d talk to Peter Ledermann. He’ll have the best advice. | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? I am no expert on stylus shapes, but so far as I know, micro-ridge types are quite different from line contact types. Also, could you be leaping to conclusions based on only a few samples? Those of us afflicted with audiophilia nervosa tend to d... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 Sleepwalker, The coreless motor in the new Technics turntables, even including the SP10R that was tested by M Fremer and found to be the most speed stable turntable that he has ever evaluated, derives from the first coreless turntable motor, inven... | |
| Any Hagerman Trumpet users have tube suggestions? Note that when I say depending upon the filament voltage, I mean that you will need to ask Hagaman whether the unit provides six or 12 V for the filaments. Then choose the tube accordingly as regards 6FQ7 or 12 FQ7. When I say the 6CG7 would requ... | |
| Any Hagerman Trumpet users have tube suggestions? Congratulations on your purchase. I looked around for one of those years ago but was unsuccessful. For 12AX7, TFK would be my choice if you can be certain they’re genuine. For 12AU7, my first choice would be to ditch them if they’re in a gain stag... | |
| TX-103 break in. Chakster, With all due respect and meaning no offense, first you describe the input shunt resistors of the CPP-1, which is not a SUT but a pre-preamplifier designed to amplify the voltage of the signal generated from a cartridge, without adding RI... | |
| DIFFICULT PROBLEM WITH A REPAIR SERVICE- I don't know where you are located, but if you have the stomach for trying again, I suggest Bill Thalmann of Music Tecnologies in Springfield, VA. If Bill cannot fix it, he will tell you straight out after trying. | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice What cartridge are you using? What is it's output voltage?From your post, I am not quite certain what you are using now, except it's a Schiit Mani. If at least I got that right, is the Mani a phono-only unit or does it include a linestage, which ... | |
| TX-103 break in. Charliee, In one of your responses, you mentioned hooking the CDP to the INPUT of the SUT. I am guessing that was a momentary lapse; Loesch and all the others are talking about hooking the signal to the OUTPUTs of the SUT. Just to be certain.Whi... | |
| Anybody out there re-cantilever their cartridge with a Soundsmith Contact Line diamond ? Classe DR9 is already Class A. |
