| Sensitivity 86 v 90 I went ahead and bought the less sensitive speakers (PMC 25.26 @ 87db, replacing PMC FB1i Signature @ 90db sensitivity) and if anything, they seem to produce more volume at a given setting. I can only speculate as to why, but now I’m certain that... | |
| Turntable weight affects speed trying to be more diligent about updating threads. Further research located an old review of this tt by M Fremer which said there is an internal potentiometer for adjusting speed. It was not referenced in the manual. So I bought the RPM Pro app... | |
| Turntable weight affects speed And, to cover as many bases as possible, I’ll order a new belt. A new bearing/turntable… not today. | |
| Turntable weight affects speed Thanks for all the well-considered responses! I’m planning to try the Origin Live Gravity One @mgolpoor recommended. | |
| Turntable weight affects speed Oops, first response wasn’t showing up | |
| Turntable weight affects speed The weight is 291g (10.25 oz). the tt was designed by Acoustic Signature, and is very similar to theirs, at the time. AS sells weights c. 280 g. So it seems like the ps should be adequate. Unless… the weight is c. 1 oz too heavy? so if I under... | |

| Amp Warranty Repair - What's an acceptable timescale for turnaround? It isn’t the dealer’s fault, probably not the distributor’s either. But the Brand should be identified. | |
| New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee @tomic601 speaking of survival, my backup coffee system, for hurricanes, when power is often lost, is a propane camp stove and hand grinder with a Hario cone and filters. It would serve during a nuclear meltdown too, longer than I would. | |
| New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee Erik, interesting! I will try turning on the grinder first. You didn’t mention the type of grinder you use. | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? Why? The current involved is miniscule. It would decrease resistance but increase capacitance. | |
| Digital Cable Recommendations I've been using D60's for maybe 30 years. Only cable I've owned that I've never been tempted to change. | |
| Sensitivity 86 v 90 To answer the questions, I have been using PMC Fb1i Signature speakers. 2-way, 90 db sensitivity. Went ahead and bought PMC Twenty5.26, 3-way at 86 db sensitivity. Based on the cogent responses here, I am optimistic this will work out ok. ph... |
