| 6922 tube The 6922 is an excellent tube. ARC used it exclusively for quite a while.The only real difference between 6922s even of the same manufacture is noise levels. I hate to sound like a stuck record but RAM Labs tests every single tube, prices and sell... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Here is my list of questions which I will start a new thread with. Thoughts?Please rate your static problem on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the worst.Where do you live? Just the State or Province will do.Do you know your average relative humidit... | |
| Vinyl cut from a digital source is nothing but a vinyl cd. Metal heads would not care. The euphoric distortions that occur with vinyl playback will make any CD sound better. | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Lewm, sorry I missed your last post. 1:250 is a huge transformer. The 1:100 Sowter transformer is very large and is +- 3 dB 50 Hz to 18 kHz.I cross over to subs at 125 Hz which is quite high. 500 Hz is well into the midrange. 256 Hz is about middl... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity jro1903, yes the Zerostat works but the trick is eliminating static formationperiod. Any time your record develops a static charge it is drawing in dust and pollution like a magnet. Interesting orthomed. Isolating the record from the platter stopp... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions drbarney, that was a jump from rebuilding cartridges. But hey. Does not matter how frictionless you get a linear tracking arm. The large horizontal mass plays havoc with even the stiffest cartridges not to mention getting them perfectly level is n... | |
| Tweaking the new Grado Timbre Sonata 3 LL, which one did you get? High output or low output? With either If I guess right the lower load will bring the bass forward which should give you the balance you are looking for especially with the low output version.Mike | |
| Tweaking the new Grado Timbre Sonata 3 Chakster, the resistors solder in exactly the same. The PH 3 SE has only only one set of inputs and one set of outputs. It has a gain of 58 dB which is adequate for MCs over 0.4 mV and MM cartridges under 4 mV.The resistors solder in on large post... | |
| Tweaking the new Grado Timbre Sonata 3 Last lemming the resisters work exactly the same for any type of cartridge. Solder in a 13K resistor and that will get you just over 10K.You can always remove the resistor if you do not like the results. You can get the resistor from Digitek. A 1%... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Exactly. It seem that some people have more trouble than others and we may be able to pick up on certain factors that are more important.It is funny, in analysing the situation I looked up the conductivity of boron. It is not. I was thinking that ... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Thanx Neil, but we are not done yet. The only thing we know for sure is that vinyl is at the bottom of the triboelectric series and loves to attract electrons. We can intentionally charge the vinyl by rubbing it with paper. The question is how doe... | |
| In the course of audible events jpwarren, the only time there is not music around me is when I'm listening to the news in the car, talking on the phone, watching a movie, and when we are sleeping. I have speakers in my ski helmet and wireless ear buds on the bicycle. There are s... | |
| I underestimated the impact a new cartridge would have Dana, that is the hook, the thought that there is something better. How do you know what you are getting? At best it is an educated crap shoot as in your case you took your friends advice. What is the most accurate cartridge and what is the best s... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Lewm, you certainly would not run subwoofers up to 300 hz. I do not know about your transformers but my Sowter is down 3 dB at 40 Hz and flat up to 20 kHz. I cross over at 125 hz. I cross that high for several reasons. First is any good Subwoofer ... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? I have never had a recording get worse by improving my system. The old recordings of Lois Armstrong sound better than ever and his playing is way better than when he was older and making great recordings.Bad systems make bad recordings sound worse... |
