| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Wow, that is truly a shame to loose Lenco Lovers. I know people are nuts but I can quite comprehend why some one would take the time. When I got Peter's email I immediately went to the Internet Archive - oddly the last back up of the Lenco Lovers ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hello Jean!Can you describe "just so" a little more in realtion to tightening the direct coupling screws and the plinth screws?I myself have finally got a MC (Ruby 2) set up on my Trans-fi Terminator/L59. Its a different kind of awesomeness than t... | |
| Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM I'm used to wearing ear protection for my shop tools. I even put ear plugs in to run the coffee grinder and juice maker these days. Getting old...Mike | |
| Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM Emailists, its not necessary to sample the 16.5. Just put your face next to an average household vacuum cleaner and there you have it :) I've always used a pair of noise reduction headphones (-27dB)when using mine. The accessory cooling fan mentio... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Cheers Dan and Richard. I had heard that the Silk XFs were marginally better than the S&B's but the guy I bought from also had the RIAA modules in a package deal. The S&B are known to be able to take a little DC, making Thorsten's last pub... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Dan-ed, take a pill. I'm didn't mean to contradict you - I am just relating my DIY experience. I did not design my phono amp and made no claim to. What I did was to implement an existing design (Thorsten Loesch's redesign of Arthur Loesch phono) a... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Dan you are right, making the FET/417A front end sound great is work - but not that hard. I had it measured and the RIAA cureve is extremely accurate. I'm sure Doshi has plenty to say on the matter, using the tubes he uses - I would assume that he... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Hi Mark, some people philosophically dislike stepup transformers. I was semi-convinced myself, some years ago when I went to a Loesch style front end = FET step up/tube/RIAA/tube as an upgrade from the a lightly modified EAR. From reading here, an... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? That's true to a certain degree Paul, re apples and oranges; but Thorsten's list of mods is somewhat definitive. Afterwards you have a generic hi-end realization of the EAR circuit, somewhat akin to the way that 60's manufacturers made their own v... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? I hope no one was offended by my subtle Patent and Trademark humor :)Mike | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Thank you very much, I appreciate your politeness (really).Mike | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Yes, Dan that was my point - and a very clever answer BTW :) Once all, as in ALL, the mods are made, it is no longer the "834P" it is a new circuit based on the 834P. All of my comments about the 834P were plainly and explicitly based on the fully... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Ok, I'll give this one more shot, because I not doing anything else at the moment :) I have no doubt that Raul's phono is the greatest thing since sliced bread - I never said it wasnt. In fact some of Rauls technical claims sounded interesting e... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Thank you Raul, you are right I am a terrible liar :) I recall it took more than one email from me to elicit that response from you (which I admit I dont really remember).So, has your incredible patented phono hit the street as a commercial produc... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? I have read several of Raul's posts with great interest - even preserving his post about the best MM carts in my archive. I tried to open a dialog with him regarding his own phono pre some years back but he did not see fit to respond.In this case,... |
