| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak One effect of putting a crystal, or anything with mass, on a tonearm or cartridge is to alter the... mass. This can always be expected to have an effect of some kind. So, on that basis alone, no wonder it is common to hear a "difference". Has anyo... | |
| Record clamps: do they really make a difference. But I don't think there is "error" in bringing my system to be as accurate and "distortion"-free as possible while also being enjoyable to me. You ALWAYS assume that someone else's Nirvana is inferior to yours. That may not be so. Please stop twis... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Dover, You wrote, among many other things, "The piezoelectric properties of a quartz crystal make it usable as a resonator." With all due respect,and I do respect you, as I understand it, a quartz crystal (or any crystal) when energized by electri... | |
| Record clamps: do they really make a difference. Tony, Reproducing or creating "The life" in an LP is often serendipitous, to my way of thinking. Thus if I like the sound from the LP better without the clamp vs with, or without a peripheral ring vs with, I don't go to pieces emotionally, frettin... | |
| Record clamps: do they really make a difference. On the other recent thread covering this topic, I was in the minority in stating that I do not like heavy record weights or heavy peripheral rings. Like Win and someone else that commented above, I find that they usually (but not always) detract f... | |
| Will Grace F9 Cart work with Rega RB250 tonearm? I've got the SS OCL stylus on my Grace Ruby, and I agree with Dave Garretson. It's a winner. I do believe the compliance may be a tad lower than that of my stock Grace Ruby. (Yes, I've got two Grace Rubys, enough for my remaining lifetime, if I al... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak If it's a '57 300C, I want one. | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Dear Phduncanson,Your URL leads to a white paper on RFI. No one doubts that RFI can be a problem in audio reproduction and that eliminating RFI is desirable. If you read the paper yourself you will see that the only way in which crystals are conne... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Hey Al, Doesn't the Coincident have a built-in SUT, and is there not the possibility to bypass the SUT, if you have an MM? I guess not, based on what you wrote. I am quite surprised. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Charles, I don't disagree with the "go for it" philosophy. I only advocate careful decision-making, and THEN go for it. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I have refrained from commenting on the cost, but let's keep in mind that Coincident sells direct, not through dealers. Therefore, Coincident can sell any of its products for any price that Israel Blume deems to be acceptable, regardless of the "l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Clearly, I either have lost typing skill or my grammar is going to Hell. I hope it's the former. The "the" before vdH is not needed. "to" should be "too". | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I always heard the vdH gets his styli from Expert in the UK. Ultimately, they probably all come from the Orient. Not to many companies making styli, and if you gear up to make them, you can probably make millions of them.What is unique about... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I kind of like an active linestage, myself.I think the OP has one, but I am not sure it is up to the level of excellence of the Statement. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Those are two superb choices and it would simply be a matter of one's opinion. But it would be best to form an opinion after prolonged audition in one's own system. Nothing else counts. |
