| Sub Sonics and woofer pumping Last_lemming, are you saying this occurs with more than one record??the lead in grooves seem to be the noisiest park of the record. If this is just one record you have either a warp or a low frequency pulse at one point on the record. No big deal.... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? No crawling required. | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? To boil it down, properly designed larger subs are just as fast as smaller ones. You can see thi is their frequency response curves. The larger driver will have less distortion because it does not have to move as far to produce the same volume. Un... | |
| Turntable placement and isolation Indranilsen, that is the absolute worst thing you could do. Bass is loudest at boundaries, walls and floors. The turntable should be on a heavy platform as far away from the system as you can get it 3-4 feet off the ground. Ideally you would take ... | |
| My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary. Mhmeyers, anything is possible. The trick is to find what is probable and that requires an education in the subject at hand. Without this the impossible becomes imaginable. | |
| Springs under turntable Goners know I am a big fan of suspended turntables. I will never own anything else. There are two big issues. First, the resonance frequency has to be below 3 Hz both vertical and horizontal. If you get to close to the tonearm’s resonance frequenc... | |
| My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary. The effect of subconscious bias is more powerful than any demagnetizer and is the usual explanation when no logical reason exists. It is a cesspool of illogical fancy. The route to an excellent system acknowledges this bias exists and limits resou... | |
| What other hobby... I think I'm gonna start selling sildenafil on this web site. | |
| 6922 tube rodmann, nonsense would be a little strong don't you think? I do after all have first hand experience with 6922's as does mozartfan who seems to believe much the same. If you want to waste your money rolling tubes and hallucinating.. well it is a ... | |

| My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary. teo, what can I say. That is a rather long explanation to justify someones perception of sound quality which humans are notoriously poor at doing in this fashion. On the other hand vinyl is in no way shape or form magnetizable so in waving a demag... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? barbapapa, I think you landed on two of the best tonearms made. If you have multiple cartridges and swap out frequently the Reed 2G is the arm for you. It is a significantly better design than the 3P and more closely matches the Schroder CB. If yo... | |
| 500 albums in a basement flood--worth saving? I lived in Miami for 5 years. Hurricanes cause massive flooding and due to the humidity it is the mildew capital of the USA. I fortunately lived with the cockroaches on the 17th floor but a friend lived in a single story house and he kept his reco... | |
| Setting up a Mac mini as a music server, and other digital music questions I use a Mac Mini with Channel D's Pure Music. This is the program Michael Fremer uses. I use a 6 TB hard drive and a USB to SPDIF converter. The sound and features are excellent and Channel D's customer service is excellent. There is only one prob... | |
| Battery backup copes with musical transients Batteries are essentially huge capacitors. The capacitors in even the biggest amp will run out of juice long before a large bank of batteries will.Of course, the more current you use the faster the batteries will run down. |
