| My thoughts on TT isolation methods. Sorry, the MinusK is better than all of them. The reason is that it's horizontal resonance is just as low as it's vertical resonance. In other words you can hit your rack on the SIDE with a hammer and it will not bother the turntable. Yes, it is a... | |
| My thoughts on TT isolation methods. You can either buy a MinusK platform (what Michael Fremer uses) or if you are clever make a hanging shelf for your table by hanging a shelf from all four corners with springs chosen to produce a resonance frequency of less than 3 Hz fully loaded. ... | |
| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... Bingo! | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? No dbphd it is not!! You are likely to mono your entire system. You would have to take those outputs to another line stage then Mono that.I wish to reiterate that just adding a subwoofer to a system without using a high pass filter on the main amp... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux I do not think there is any argument that analog signals on magnetic tape deteriorate over time. What I hear most is that high frequencies start to roll off. These can always be EQed up I suppose. Once the music is digitized it is immortal as long... | |
| I'm never going to hear a megaspeaker in a good room am I? @erik_squires I guess we haunt the same vicinity. Goodwinn's High End in Waltham is the area's most esoteric Hi Fi store. I have not been in a while. I always got good service because I drove up in a 911 Turbo. If you drive up in a Golf you couldn... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive "Have the choice of." I did not say all belt drives are not servo controlled.A synchronous motor will fight to follow the frequency it is given. As long as this is accurate the synchronous motor will stay right on unless it's torque rating is over... | |
| What are Your Favorite and Most hated Record Manufacturers slaw, where are you finding these companies?? | |
| Springs under turntable @mitch2 , you are exactly correct. Low bass pushes the suspension into it's nonlinear zone. Then there is doppler distortion on top. If you have at least two subwoofers of high quality you can push the high pass filter up as high as 150 Hz. Imagin... | |
| Kuzma 4 Point Tonearm gpgr4, that is exactly what I have found. A blank wall. I have one retailer who is supposed to be posing the question to Dohmann. I'll let you know if I find out anything.The current table uses reflex clamping, the next best solution.If I had to g... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable Raul, I am not sure people understand the different types of balance tonearms can have and how they affect performance. Tonearms either have Neutral or Static balance. Static balance is what you usually have. Balance the arm so that it floats perf... | |
| Kuzma 4 Point Tonearm I had a 4 point 14 and for low compliance cartridges like Koetsus and Air Tights. It was the nuts. Very easy to adjust, great bearing set up, proper geometry, Neutral balance. It is hard to do better. So, why did I sell it?I needed to get all the ... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux audio2design, I think in relation to most systems you are probably right except for the evaluation of very deep bass. Apparently you have not looked at my system. What I have is essentially very large electrostatic headphones except the perspectiv... | |
| Teach me about cartridge 'retipping' MC cartridges have a wire that extends from the back of the cantilever through the coil. The wire is pulled through a rubber damping ring then through a hole in the rear pole that has a set screw to lock the wire. As the wire is pulled tight the c... | |
| Room Acoustics With Vaulted Ceiling dodgealum, Good room for a system. 13'6" is a little tight. Start off without any room treatment and see how it sounds. What you do for room treatment depends on the type of speaker you are using and you usually do not have to spend a lot. |
