| Goodbye Everyone Shoot @russ69 , I get punished all the time. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @lewm @rauliruegas @drbond , that is lay instinct. I can make a 7 hz sound in a telephone booth. It will not reverberate but it is quite measurable. Same goes for most rooms. It is true that you only hear the harmonics but you feel the note and ... | |
| Cartridge Advice Please @dhite71 , that is an unfortunate experience you had with PL. I had a high output Voice and after about 50 hours it started mistracking. Inspection showed the stylus was pointed in an odd direction. The cantilever had twisted in it's fitting! I to... | |
| Kirmuss Cleaning System Discuss? You want to spend the rest of your life cleaning records? This is the silliest system on the market. Rules of the road. A machine must use fresh fluid with each cleaning. There is more than particulate matter in the environment. There is all sor... | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? @pindac , with the concentricity spec on records at +- 2 mm I would not worry about turntable runout. I think as long as rumble is low and speed accuracy is high you are in business. I certainly agree that per precision is always welcome and the w... | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000 regrets I know the Ohms well and no, I would not regret it. The Maggies are a better speaker in terms of image projection. | |
| Injecting one sub to Benchmark system… @thomastrouble , you are in trouble. If you have any idea what you are listening too, trying to EQ a sub without it's calibration microphone is a nightmare. Second issue is that one sub is never enough. The minimum is two. But, have at it. It will... | |
| Cartridge Advice Please @clearthinker I'm with you. No, if you have a well isolated turntable 7 Hz is not too low. Bass performance is improved, noticeably if you use propper subwoofers. | |
| Cartridge Advice Please @clearthinker , I have the MC Diamond, the politically correct Anna. It is a very heavy cartridge and huge in comparison to other cartridges. I use it in a Schroder CB with the brass mounting plate and I get a resonance frequency in the 7-8 Hz ran... | |
| Meandering Pitch, Where’s The Problem? @goofyfoot , the sources of pitch variation are a bad motor control unit, warped records, slipping motor pulley and bad belts. First and relatively cheap is replace the belt, clean the rim of the drive platter with acetone or brake cleaning fluid ... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @rauliruegas , now you've hurt my feelings. No desert for you tonight:-) There are a few strange comments your references make. Nodal behavior is a function of the room. Certainly it can be modified by placement. This fellow asserts that more driv... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond , just another dance tune. I have three versions of it, two by Biggs and another by Herrick which I like the best. That note makes my vision blur. For subwoofers you want an amp that goes down to 0 Hz, DC or darn close. The Parasound JC1... | |
| New Vinyl Jazz and Classical Reissues @alexberger , I think this belongs in music. | |
| The first-best-last analog item you ever bought @atmasphere , my dad had an Ampex. I do not recall the model. It was glorious. He had maybe 100 prerecorded 7.5 ips tapes. I must have worn them out. My own favorite analog device is my Sota Cosmos Vacuum. It is a fabulous table for the money.... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Ask Duke if he can do two 12” drivers per enclosure in a balanced force arrangement. Sealed enclosures only please. |
