| Anyone adjust cart set up due to ambient temperature changes? @lewm The plan was to experiment first with the smallest change to down force. Then see if that, combined with a small change in VTA did the trick. If these small adjustments didn’t solve the issue then I was to send the cart in for evaluation. ... | |
| Interconnects priority Here is what I did FWIW. I went from RCA to XLR from phono to integrated - this was a really noticeable improvement - and I a/b tested using same brand of cable This lowered the noise floor and boosted the SNR I use Zavfino Fusion which is ver... | |
| Anyone adjust cart set up due to ambient temperature changes? It seems the ability to tag members isn’t working… Anyway. It’s actually part of the front structure that supports the generator (if that is the correct term) The cart is an Aidas CU Durawood Bee. | |
| Speaker question Not sure why you are asking advice then…binary decision…both are good choices so either go for broke or go for the deal. | |
| Don't do anything! Carts often need a break in period, and ambient temperature can affect them | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery Advice to the OP... If I Had More Time, I Would Have Written a Shorter Letter My guess is the OP had a nice experience dealing with Mark as did I, and likes the idea of supporting a small American business, as do I. The idea of the SDFB made ... | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? Getting back to the topic at hand... OP, please don't take offense, but IMHO your VPI will sound better with better full-range 100% passive speakers. For reference, I've owned BP2000's and Mythos ST-L's. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? Electric guitars are available that can be made to sound like Les Paul's, Stratocasters, Telecasters, Flying V's and many more, does that make them artificial? No. A human has to pick them up and pluck the strings. To answer the original ques... | |
| Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway +1 @soix With speakers going down to 26Hz (not including the room), I would think you would start with the subs crossing over around 30Hz and play with the gain first, and then adjust +/- 5Hz and dial in from there. IMO phase should be set to z... | |
| Recommend an MC cartridge I went from Hana ML to an Aidas CU Series Durawood Bee. An amazing instrument, and retipping is very reasonable. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier you won’t hear anything better until it warms up for 3 hours. you need to spend 2.5-3k to make any significant difference on an amp like yours. The random number generator strikes again. | |
| Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment Perhaps good ROI / value for money rather than affordable? | |
| ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection I have 2 RELs and I've tried both connections with a couple of different amps. High-level is the way to go IMO. That way the RELs are fed exactly the same signal as your mains rather than a filtered signal. If you go with Speakon connections I ... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For bgross Yep, tubes can be transformative. Similar experience here with my tube DAC and some NOS Mullards. I was on the fence between your PS and GoldNote - ended up with GoldNote. The LM isn't pretty but it sure does sound great even with the stock... | |
