| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Thanks for that review. I own a first generation ZYX Universe with low hours on it, and I just bought an ART7. I plan to compare those two, and if anyone is interested, I will report here. The ART7 is very different from the ART9 in terms of co... | |
| Dear wise-folk, turntable motor grinding after oiling? I would take it apart again and clean both the male and female parts of the bearing, as best you can using lens paper and maybe some pure alcohol. (I prefer photo lens paper, because it does not fragment and leave scraps buried in the bearing well... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Dear Raul, The below summary comes from the IEEE, not the "AHEE", your fictional bugaboo. Note the first bullet point under the heading "Transistors-Disadvantages". I don't want to go back and forth with you any longer. You are entitled to your... | |
| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful Safebelayer, Just to be sure you got the right idea from Almarg, me, and a few others, what we suggest is that one channel is 180 degrees out of phase with the other. That condition can cause most of the symptoms you report. So, to check that pro... | |
| review iPhono 2 Totem, I have no direct experience with the UA723, but here's what I found on the internet:"The ua723/lm723 Voltage regulator IC inner circuit using discreet elements. As u can see the output is astonishingly stable at 63W with a ripple of less th... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 My second system is located in our very large finished basement. I notice a benefit vs our living room, where system one resides. Plus the poured concrete floor of the basement helps a great deal. | |
| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful My point was that your symptoms are probably not due to tonearm/cartridge mismatch. | |
| 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... |
