| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? Building a system that gives you what YOU want out of the system is a long term project that results from first deciding what you like. That means developing the capacity to hear in your subconscious the way you want to hear it. Then you try out ... | |
| Calculation verification please Magnets and their proximity to the coils plus core material must be how they do it. The math for such calculations is complex, and I don’t know the equations. So off the top of my head, I can’t be amazed unless I knew the math and physics involved. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade This is the 149th post about a plinth that no one of us owns or ever heard. God bless Audiogon. | |
| Calculation verification please By normal convention "40/40" means 40 divided by 40, which is 1. Just so not to confuse anyone, you probably meant 40-squared or 40 X 40, or 1600. 600,000 divided by 1600 (or 600,000/1600) equals 375 ohms, the load that Skos desires. I know you k... | |
| Lenco tables Properly upgraded, the Lenco idler drive (I don't know whether the L78SE is an idler drive; Lenco did make some belt drives) will compete with very high end turntables. I am not going to put a dollar limit on the value of tables it competes with,... | |
| Calculation verification please My wife is a brunette and I don't have the gut that guy has, but otherwise there is some relevance. | |
| Record cleaning formula using Triton X-100 There are two huge threads on this. Probably you should read them first. | |
| Calculation verification please Atma, Skos wrote: "I’ve been experimenting into a MC section and the manufacturer says to load between 100 - 800 ohms. I’ve tried 250, 324, 368, 404, 500 & 600 ohms and found I like best the 368 ohm loading. So now want to try using my SUT." ... | |
| Calculation verification please In addition to what I and Atma have written, I am most amazed that you hear differences in SQ among resistances of 250, 324, 368, 404, 500 & 600 ohms. I don't doubt you, but I have tried such experiments and never heard much if any difference.... | |
| SUT for AT-OC9XSL? IF you add a SUT, then your signal voltage would be very high, as you suggest. For example, a 1:10 SUT between the cartridge and phono would result in about 10V signal voltage at the OUTPUT of the linestage, not at the input, so yes, you would hav... | |
| Calculation verification please I must have misunderstood from the get go. I thought your original question was what parallel loading resistors would create a 375 ohm load. Answer is still that it's not possible by introducing a resistor in parallel with 47K. I personally would... | |
| SUT for AT-OC9XSL? Can you be more specific? I am not sure what you are trying to convey. For example, "way lower" for what? Since your CDP or whatever other high level sources you use is likely to put out at least 1V in signal voltage, generally up to 2V, I would g... | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Inna, No one of us thinks he is biased, in the sense that he or she thinks he or she cannot make an objective judgement. And yet.... | |
| Calculation verification please I refuse to read the gibberish, but if you place a 51K resistor in parallel with a 47K resistor, you will get around 24K resistance. If you use your 1:40 SUT into 24K resistance, you will end up with a phono load of about 15 ohms. In other words, ... | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Woots, what spectrum? And by the way, which Kuzma? No one here mentions any direct drive TT. The Dohmann Helix is the only belt drive I’d have in my system, if I were limited to BD. |
