| Wool Blankets as Room treatment @jbuhl , yes, you will get some attenuation over 250 Hz or so. I would liken it to pissing into a forest fire. A HiFi room is for sound, appearances are secondary, although it is possible to make a very nice looking sound room. Put 4" acoustic til... | |
| Limiting a full range driver Hi Koestner. You are right on the money. The level of distortion and volume limitation low bass causes in full range drivers is unacceptable. It is the single most significant thing you can do. Room control is important but it will do you no good ... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas , 20 pounds. I need to lose 20 pounds. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @toddalin BEAUTIFUL CAR!!! Guys, this is old news. Tekton could not build a decent speaker if their lives depended on it. Their use of tweeters is suicidal and they can't figure out what type of speaker they want to make line source or point sour... | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool @rauliruegas is absolutely correct. Most tonearms are not at their specified spindle to pivot distance. They are off by several mm which throws the Mint out the window. There are way too many ways to create error when drilling for the tonearm. SME... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I'm sure viscosity is a factor if you have that problem, another factor to drive yourself crazy about. I really like my little world. I can hide from the rest of humanity with a few selected exceptions. I hate to say this Raul, but y... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I don't have time to read 250 pages. I've got to finish my wife's vanity. Look, what's happening down there is rather simple. There is a diamond stylus tracing groove at something like 60,000 psi. while the cartridge and everything e... | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @erik_squires And just what do you think you are going to do about bass in any normally sized residential space? Most audiophiles know that bass below 100 Hz is poorly localized. The dimensions of the room are of primary importance followed by th... | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? I'll make @jymc the armrest for the price of the parts and shipping. That would be about $25.00 | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? @cfarrow I thought about the Taycan, but I really needed a pickup truck, so I got a TRX. I had a 2014 Turbo S, but sold it after 5 years. I liked driving my old C4S better and the Turbo languished in the garage. The 06 C4S has the right look and t... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I should be more specific and lass abrupt. There are some tonearm cartridge combinations that will benefit from damping. There is more to resonance than just the frequency at which it occurs, there is also sensitivity, amplitude and ... | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? @jafox 1+ I should note that @jymc needs a tonearm board specifically for his Sota that takes into account the weight of the Schroder arm. Suspended turntables always need the tonearm/tonearm board weight to be within a specific range or the reson... | |
| Choosing a new turntable @elliottbnewcombjr I hate to pop your bubble, but one great tonearm is way better than two cheap ones. Dust covers should be isolated and hinged so they can be used during play. A good thick acrylic dust cover can attenuate sound up to 10 dB at so... | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? @cfarrow my 911 is an 06 C4S manual. What are you driving? @jymc I also own a Cosmos Eclipse Vacuum! On it is a Schroder CB. Artisan Fidelity is a good choice. Sota has now installed CBs on it's turntables and will make you a tonearm board drille... | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @minorl The problem for most audiophiles is they have no idea what they are listening to. They have no reference. The best thing you can do is invest in a usb microphone and an acoustic measurement program. Then when you get a equalizer you will k... |
