| Oh no, there's metal in your records! Moonglum, You have a vivid imagination, indeed. You'd better get one of those Furutechs. | |
| AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue migueca, You wrote, "I also considered buying the Phoenix Falcon (after failing to find the Eagle, apparently discontinued and hard to get)." So far as I know, Phoenix Engineering is defunct along with all the products they made and sold. So all... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Audiofun, So if you have "ways to mitigate" noise generated by your GAE power supply, then we agree completely. That's what I wrote; all turntables should be run from an isolated AC power source if possible.Berning uses switching power supplies, ... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! He would rather not talk about spending $2500 (less the discount he probably finagled) for the Furutech demagnetizer that he now never uses and from which he never detected a benefit. OK? Was trying for a bit of humor. | |
| Analogue-free system Raul, My neighbor, who is a good friend as well, has a very very expensive digital set-up. I myself only own an Ayre C5Xe-mp and an Oppo 105 (one for each of my two different systems). However, I spend a lot of time listening to my neighbor's me... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! The presence of magnetizable (ferrous) metal in the vinyl and the question of static charge building up on the LP surface are two entirely different things. As some know, you can buy a device designed to degauss an LP; I don't know whether it's s... | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... vinylholic, are you talking about loosening the collar that fixes a removable headshell to the end of the arm wand, or are you talking about loosening the screws that hold the cartridge on the headshell, or what? | |
| Analogue-free system OK, so most of us are sophisticated enough in this hobby to have figured out what pleases us, as individuals, and we have each made a choices or established a preference. This little waltz around is not going to change anyone. We can move on. R... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) audiofun, We are talking about turntables. I realize the "to do or not to do" of PSs for amplifiers and preamplifiers is a different kettle of fish, because the music signal is imposed upon the DC produced by the PS. In the case of a turntable, ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) So how do you think Berning manages to build an SMPS that does not offend you? He's been using such supplies for maybe as much as 20 years or more. Which is why one can lift his ZOtl amplifiers with one hand. Also, the linear supplies of vintage... | |
| Analogue-free system I'm with tooblue. If I could find a digital set-up that brought me as close to the emotional content of live music as does vinyl, I would adopt it. I have heard many variations on megabuck digital. Without fail, those systems sound very very goo... | |
| review iPhono 2 Chakster’s results with the Ortofon MC2000 driving the iPhono2, which supplies 72db of gain, were to be expected. As someone else noted above, the .05mV of the MC2000 would produce 0.2V output. If you connect the iPhono2 to a high-ish gain linesta... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) audiofun, Once upon a time I would have agreed with you about the superiority of a linear PS in all cases, but in recent years there have been big improvements in the design and execution of SMPSs. And, like Invictus says, there are some pretty n... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Dear Chakster, Have you compared the EPA100 to the EPA100 mk2, side by side, using the same cartridge on the same turntable in both cases? In that context, is the Mk2 version audibly superior to the base EPA100? I know that the mk2 was much mor... | |
| Do I need a sut? Analogluvr, No. You haven't tried the "right" phono stage. It IS possible to run the MC2000 without a SUT. However, I am not about to claim that my fully active phono stage is overall superior to any phono gain system using a SUT. I will just ... |
