| In need of a GOOD 3:1/4:1 passive input selector If those caps work to reduce the noise you’re hearing, then the source is most likely not “hum” in the strict sense of the term, which is a 60hz or 120hz (in countries with 60hz AC) noise due to a ground fault. As I understand those caps, their n... | |
| Analog Magic Question So what does Wally or Analog Magik do to correct Zenith error? I have heard talk of a shim, in the case of Wally, but I don't see how a shim can correct zenith. Seems to me you need to twist the cartridge with respect to the long axis of the head... | |
| Analog Magic Question Most cartridges will exhibit at least some zenith error. Parenthetically, for those who don't already know, zenith for us audiophiles refers to the angle that the stylus contact patches for left and right channel information, respectively, make w... | |
| In need of a GOOD 3:1/4:1 passive input selector Go balanced. But how are you feeding 3 different phono outputs to the passive pre? Do you have 3 discrete phono stages? | |
| Low internal resistance mc phono cartridges Haniwa is the one I was trying to remember. Less than one ohm. Thanks, V. | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets Apparently you did not read the posts that describe double-sleeve jackets where you can put the album cover in one slot and the LP in its inner sleeve in a separate second slot. Thereby the LP is secured behind, not inside, the album cover, and yo... | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets There are solutions to be found in the “outer vinyl sleeve” thread. I suggest you read it. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus I have all 3 of those “Play Bach” LPs. They were great fun but I haven’t had a listen in decades. I should pull one out for a spin. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus Shoulda mentioned Chick Corea re Bach. I would love to hear those two playing together or to have Bach hear Chick. Anyway, we were blessed to have Chick in our audiophile lifetimes. As to the plethora of mono cartridges available these days, I do... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Since my LPs are all snug in their respective storage racks, I’d have to add about 50% more new storage space if I were to adopt that system, but there is no danger of that ever happening. As most probably know, most purveyors of high quality used... | |
| Durable record vacuum cleaner recommendation? A 15A fuse on a 120V line is not doing anything in most homes, because most have 15A circuit breakers at the fuse box. And that’s a shitload of current . You say the motor was blowing 10A fuses? | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Doesn’t that double the horizontal shelf space required per LP? | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Mr. gray, Do you live on Hokkaido? Our son lives in Tokyo, and we visit him every year, usually when it's relatively warm on Hokkaido. So we have visited Sapporo and the. surrounding area on three separate occasions. Hokkaido is a beautiful plac... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? I tried that and probably hundreds of others have too. In my opinion, the results did not adequately compensate for the annoyance. Nor have I ever perceived that significant dust accumulates on an LP via the open end of an album cover. If that’s ... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll Imintohifi, you make a good point. ESLs are insensitive to damping factor because they don’t generate “back EMF”, which is a reference to the voltage that is produced by motion of the voice coil with respect to the magnets, in electromagnetic woof... |
