| Schroder sq and the new talea Asa, Have you ever observed the course of a progressive dementia in a person you knew well at his or her intellectual baseline? If you had done so, or if you ever have to do so, you will see that yes, the physical brain, "your brain - the material... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Here is what Wikipedia has to say about "billion". But I must say you caught me out on this one; I had never heard of the "long scale", perhaps because I was educated entirely in the US. In any case, Wikipedia (an American invention, I admit) clai... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea DT: 2000 Billion in the USA and anywhere else in the universe = 2 trillion, or 2 times ten to the 12th power. Do you really mean to say that the CERN accelerator cost $2 trillion? | |
| Stand out phono stages Thanks, guys. I am sure that both the ARC and the AMR are wonderful, based on a slew of favorable comments, but they are goddawful expensive, not within my budget for a secondary phono stage. I am trying to stay at or under $2500; way under that a... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Before I studied electronics, I used to wonder why no one had adopted the strategy of building a perfect circuit using perfect parts, so there could be no doubt among end users that the product was "perfect". Now that I know something about electr... | |
| Stand out phono stages Fcrowder made the very good point that only a very few of us are qualified to say that this or that phono stage is "best", because most of us have a very limited listening experience with a wide variety of the "best" phono stages. This hasn't prev... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dean man (Jim), Thanks for your comments. I say that because my system "broke down" last July due to a problem with one of my amplifiers. It was oscillating, and the cause was very difficult to find and cure, especially given a concurrent illness ... | |
| Vintage DD - Any modern cartridge recommendations? Modern vs vintage has nothing to do with it. If the tonearm and cartridge are well mated, the turntable needs to do its own job, vintage or otherwise. So if the JVC is in good working order, you should have no problem regardless of cartridge. IOW,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, do you guys celebrate Halloween? Tonight is Halloween Night here in the US, and the TV stations are running all horror movies all the time, so I could not help but think of the "Saw" analogy. Actually, I have never had the guts to watch mo... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea I meant, dear Nandric, that the Talea and the Schroeder are just tonearms. | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Thanks for defining synchronic and diachronic. I am a better person for it. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I can see it now, a series of horror movies - "Halcro". There would be sequels, a la "Saw". In Halcro V, he finally stomps an Ortofon MC A90, after torturing several different Technics throughout the early parts of the movie. The cartridges are so... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Hi Soren, Do you like your L07D? Since this thread started, I bought one and am using it regularly after having the electronics refurbished and upgraded. I absolutely love it. The tonearm has a lot wrong with it in theory, but sounds wonderful in ... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea None of this stuff, no matter how expensive, will ever get me back to that night when I was 17 years old, sitting in a tiny nightclub in New Haven (Connecticut), listening to John Coltrane play and watching him at work, as he was standing about 6 ... | |
| Whest MC REF V - my new christmas present The % mark-up by the importer is not unusual. Japanese-made phono gear is often subjected to the same treatment. Some Japanese cartridges can be bought in Tokyo for less than half their cost here in the US, with no special effort required. It rema... |
