| Phono rig capacitance Dear Dfel,Go here: http://www.jensen-transformers.com/That's the home page. On the left hand margin you will see a vertical listing of links. Click on any or all of the links listed under "Applications". Plus, the principles of Jensen are some ver... | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm Dear Hiho, Upon further thought, I would wish to modify my definition of audiophilia, in the interests of both fact and humor. But the OP has more responses here than he really needs.Dfel, With $6000 to spend, one can purchase a very highly "tweak... | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm I am sure you will be happy with your choice. | |
| Phono rig capacitance For anyone's information, I believe the Jensen engineers do mention the leakage inductance values, at least for their many SUTs, on their website. From that, one could get a ballpark idea of what to expect from a "typical" SUT. | |
| Phono rig capacitance Dfel, Far be it from me to try to amplify on the advice you've been given by either Al or JCarr. However, I don't see where anyone answered your question re the typical range of inductance for a typical MC cartridge. In my personal experience, I h... | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm Bodotes, I too was a satisfied Notts user, although I've since gone on to a tweaked Lenco and several vintage DD turntables. I thought my Hyperspace was excellent, however, very open and "big" sound. After asking my question here, I did go to the ... | |
| Phono preamp with mono switch? Dear Rodman, It was not my intention to offend you by asking the reason for your post. I am here to learn, and so I was just curious to discover whether I was missing something. Apparently, I was not. In future, please do not toss around the "Nazi... | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm Bodotes, You wrote, "I was impressed with the Pear Audio Blue turntables I saw at the recent Newport Show. They remind me of the old Nottingham decks, but the distributor claimed that they have improved materials and better construction."Do you me... | |
| strange phenomenon Not clear. Do you have NO sound from one channel, intermittently, or low volume in one channel compared to the other? Thanks. If there is signal in the intermittently defective channel, then the diagnostic possibilities expand. | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm Jeb, Now please make a cogent argument against wood tonearms, if that is your position. Your arguments by analogy are nonsensical. And if you did not read any of the previous posts, you may not know that Reed, Durand, Schroeder, Pete Riggle, and s... | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm What is odd to me is that the OP started a thread about a $35K tonearm marketed by the previous guru of Roksan, and about which none of us know anything, apart from its cost. Then the venom was directed largely at Durand tonearms for the sin of be... | |
| Phono preamp with mono switch? Rodman, IMO, Schottky diodes sound WAY better than Hexfreds. You just have to be careful about the fact that Schottkys in general have a lower forward voltage drop than do Hexfreds, so the voltage out of the rectifier will be a few volts higher wi... | |
| Phono preamp with mono switch? Almost any of the many very good "vintage" phono stages will have a mono switch, and I wish modern day manufacturers would take note. The improvement in playback of mono LPs when you have mono circuitry vs stereo is not small or insignificant. | |
| Simaudio MOON LP5.3 RS or 300LP? Dinster, That list of resistive loading options for your Audia Flight is indeed very odd. Perhaps there is a built in SUT for MC. Sometimes the stated value of the load is tricky to interpret when there is a SUT and if the load resistor is install... | |
| Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm Curley, You are nowhere near the novice I thought you to be, based on the list of excellent turntables you have already owned. You might ask yourself why you were or are not satisfied with especially the top two or three on your list, the Basis, t... |
