| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikola, Since you are a semanticist at heart, I know you will appreciate the fact that a "canon" (sic) is "a general law, rule, principle, or criterion by which something is judged" Whereas, a cannon will blow that stuff out of the water. | |
| New Eva Cassidy 180 gr Fjn, You really ought to seek out the CD "The Other Side", with Eva and Chuck Brown, if indeed you have never heard it. They do mostly standards, but their interpretation is very fresh. The album rivals similar collaborative efforts done by Ray Ch... | |
| Power Filtering vs Power Regeneration? Tony, It is most likely that your friend's system was affected by humidity because of the sensitivity of ESL speakers, especially Quads, to humidity. Humidity affects the tension of the mylar diaphragm, AND it also affects the static charge in the... | |
| Power Filtering vs Power Regeneration? Tony, Can you say what "tube gear" would be more affected by humidity than SS gear? I don't think so.The symptoms Henry describes do not at all sound like anything that can be caused by poor grounding. RF, maybe. Henry, what did your PS Audio do w... | |
| TECHNICS SP10 MK3 POWER SOURCE / SPEED CONTROLLER 120V to 100V step-down transformer is a common item that can be bought from eBay or any reputable mail order electronics supply house for low dollars. I have two of them in house, one for a Kenwood L07D and one for a Denon DP80. No biggie. Just ma... | |
| New Eva Cassidy 180 gr Eva and Chuck Brown is also a great CD that I would welcome to see on vinyl. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Audie, I always tried to remain calm when in a discussion with Raul, but you would have to admit, or you should admit, that it was Raul himself who was often the provocateur. To disagree with him is to admit that you must have an inferior system. ... | |
| TECHNICS SP10 MK3 POWER SOURCE / SPEED CONTROLLER So you tried Bill Thalmann, and he was not able to help? | |
| NEED: Technics SP10 Mk3 Speed Controller Contact Bill Thalmann at Music Technologies in Springfield, VA. He may be able to help. (I have no affiliation with Bill, but he has done work for me in the past.) | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm A close friend who lives in France has a Platine Verdier which he just recently replaced with one of the new Kronos turntables, the belt drive with a counter-rotating platter underneath the top platter. He put his Verdier up for sale immediately u... | |
| Power Filtering vs Power Regeneration? Pani, A passive device simply cannot solve Halcro's problem, if the problem has to do with AC power sags or surges. End of story.Halcro, If you search on eBay you may find an inexpensive chart recorder that can be used to monitor AC at the wall so... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Peter, I can have no opinion of your SME, because I have never even seen one in the flesh. By all accounts, it is excellent.Fleib, I was saying that the modern SOTA tables (e.g., Cosmos and Millennium) no longer suffer from the sin you and I descr... | |
| Power Filtering vs Power Regeneration? Halcro, Have you actually documented what's going on at the wall socket during those periods where the sound deteriorates? It would first be prudent to do that, so you are not wasting money on a (expensive) power regenerator. Another reason to do ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Fleib, Your points are well taken; I am no fan of suspended tables, but suspension vs no suspension is yet another choice, in addition to, not instead of, belt-drive vs DD. As you note, a suspended DD turntable would not be subject to the belt str... |
