| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful In my post above about the plasticity of the relationship between effective mass and compliance, I might better have written that one should make the calculation of Fr for a variety of values of M and C, in order to see that you can get away with ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Recently, the movie "Heist", with Robert DeNiro et al, was shown on one of my cable channels. In that movie, DeNiro cracks an otherwise impregnable safe by first drilling a hole in the top, then filling the safe with water. He then drops a small... | |
| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful My money is on Almarg's hypothesis that the two channels are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. Even if you cannot prove that by visual inspection, you might try switching leads on one channel just for the heck of it.I am no authority on t... | |
| low-level background white noise - Parasound Halo JC-3+ It's possible that you've got some RF in your listening room, and it is being picked up by any of the cables you've tried for connecting the two units. To support this hypothesis, you could try moving the two JC units as close to each other as pos... | |
| review iPhono 2 It is really impossible to evaluate any of the optional aftermarket LPSs mentioned above, because all we can know about them is the size of the box and its net weight. Plus in some cases we are told the part number of an internal voltage regulato... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 bdp, Inside the chassis of each of my Beveridge amplifiers is the inscription, done in magic marker: "RM 1979". Knowing that Modjeski collaborated with Harold Beveridge back then, I have always assumed that he is "RM". With the help of an EE who... | |
| Feedback through turntable We've heard from everyone but the OP. Have you done any of the recommended experiments and what were the results? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks. | |
| Broken Supex SDX-1000 Repair or buy new? Seems to me that only you can make this decision, based on your love or lack of love for the SDX1000. If you love it very much, just try to get the re-tip as close as possible to the original, i.e., match the cantilever construction and the stylu... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I am a bit embarrassed and apologetic to the others as regards this exchange of insults in which I have participated. Fleib, your tone is no surprise to me; cut back on the coffee. Your level of certainty based on no data is also not a surprise. R... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive "The motors are located farther from the cartridge". But in a DD turntable, the platter IS the rotor. There is no separated motor assembly to "make noise"; the platter is motivated to rotate only by virtue of its being a part of the rotor, being... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive Not to disagree entirely with Lak's point, but let's not equate rim drive with direct-drive. They are or can be as different from one another as BD from DD. Likewise, I think the Reed Muse turntable that I mentioned above offers the option of a ... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive Sorry if I was too rough on you. You told me privately which two turntables you compared. I was interested to learn that they are both from the same company, one a DD and one a BD. That right there is a topic worth discussing: why did the one c... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive This is meaningful only in the sense that you have compared two turntables and found that you like the sound of one better than that of the other. Period.I can tell you about two direct-drive turntables, one of which has an inherently more "roman... | |
| Nude Turntable Project FWIW, You can find Herzan isolation tables for sale on eBay as industrial surplus items, and in that format they can be quite affordable. (They really ARE most often used for electron microscopes or to isolate sensitive industrial processors of o... | |
| review iPhono 2 Thanks for your response. So, I take it that you install the iTube downstream from the iPhono(?) Whatever works is fine, but I would choose/do choose to use good tube equipment in the first place. I reckon that if I plug the iPhono2 into the AU... |
