| Is Break-In essential and potentially dangerous for the Audiophile? This is the silliest thread I have ever seen. The human imagination is a fabulous thing. | |
| Current equipment similar to ancient DBX 14/10 and/or 20/20 computerized equalizers? weh51nc, check out DEQX, Anthem STR, Trinnov Amethyst. These are digital preamps which have built in very high resolution EQ capability. | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity ebm not at all. The Desat 2 and Zerostat do not solve the problem they just delude you into thinking they do. The static is generated by the stylus rubbing the groove. It is regenerated after only a minute of play time. The static attracts dust an... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Ferrari used the Eagle F1 on several of its cars. Mussolini rolled in his grave. I believe Porsche has also but Ferdinand wouldn't give a hoot. Cactus spines? I suppose if Frank Schroder (he collects cacti) says so. I think MTBF in terms of cartri... | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre The PH3 SE is a great phono amp and should be dead silent if loaded correctly. It is certainly a keeper. You would have to spend serious money to do better. RAM Labs SLN 6922's are a great upgrade. | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre If the hum goes away you have a cartridge problem. Is the turntable near anything else that might cause a hum? | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre woops, I see you have used the cheater plug. Remove the positive signal wires from the cartridge. | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre Last_Lemming, the Grado hum will get louder as the cartridge gets closer to the motor. I would start floating grounds starting with the Phono preamp. | |
| Tubes? Exactly Dave. Keep the amps and get a tube preamp or phono stage.Tube amps just do not have the same speaker control as a good SS amp.They do not delineate kick drum or tympani as well. You can get the same warmth out of a tube preamp without sacr... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Nandric, I think you are right. But, it is a good reason to throw at the wife to get a new one:) | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Clearthinker, Michelin is now making N0 tires again so you can feel comfortable putting them on. The dealers will never use anything but N0 or N1 tires. I have seen new Porsches come through with mostly P zeros as you suggest but also Michelins an... | |
| Can hardware change speaker phasing over time?? Gremlins:) | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Audioquestforlife you are certainly going to need that 80db with the Strat.Not so sure I am sold on the single pole idea. Anyway, I am more interested on what you think of the Soundsmith and how it compares to your Benz. Thanx:) | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? The way to build a quiet wall is not with two layers of sheet rock. You build quiet walls. These are usually made with 2 X 6 sills and staggered 2 X 4 studs each opposing wall gets it's own studs so there is no direct mechanical contact between ei... | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? I suppose it is time for me to rant.I think egenmedia is right. The dimensions and design of the room are most important when it comes to bass. I think length vs width should be at least 2 to 1 and width vs height again 2 to one or better. Leave t... |
