| High Performance Audio - The End? Huh? Some of my favorite music is on crappy recordings. A good system just allows you to hear further into the recording be it bad or good. Contrary to some opinion here, there are some excellently recorded popular records. Many of them are trying... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Daveyf, many preferences are a result of mythology which is admittedly hard to combat. If you don't mind dust on your records, don't use a dust cover. I got rid of all my Linns a long time ago because they are irreparably defective. Lewm, in order... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Thanx Antin, very helpful. I would just like to make several comments in addition. The charge is developed during play. Devices that neutralize the static before play are not useful. The charge develops rapidly and spreads over the surface of the ... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Woops, I forgot to mention. Putting ANYTHING on your records is plain silly. You will just grind dust into the stuff and make mud. Just watch what happens to your stylus. It will gum up faster than ever unless it is the same hoax perpetrated by La... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity A mat will do absolutely nothing to contain static. Lewm you answered your own question. The electrons are coming from the air. The stylus rubbing the groove enhances the transfer of electrons. Because diamond is not conductive there is no path to... | |
| 'Life Above 20kh' Research Paper, Harmonics (Overtones) First of all this paper proves absolutely nothing. It brings up some interesting avenues for research which is about it. One tenet od scientific research is that the results have to be reproducible. No body has reproduced anything.Music is absolut... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Here we go again. Masi, static electricity is created by the stylus rubbing the groove of a material (PVC) that falls at the very bottom of the triboelectric series. Within 30 seconds of the stylus rubbing the groove thousands of volts of static e... | |
| Soundstage gone Cartridges do break in. As mechanical devices that is not unusual. It took several weeks for my last Clearaudio cartridge to loosen up fully in the bass. Its when you tell me that wires break in that you lose me. Now, the way Iviv's situation brok... | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick Those are all European apartment speakers. Spend a little more and get Klipsch Cornwall IV's. Now we are talking serious horsepower. Certainly not Dodge Challenger but not Ferrari. More like Mustang GT.I can tell you how many L100s I saw torched w... | |
| Upgrade Path Help stanfnelson, Mytec makes great stuff but in your case I would be more inclined to go with a DEQX Premate or the Anthem STR. They advance your capability dramatically with room control and digital bass management. Adding subwoofers in the future wo... | |
| Sub Sonics and woofer pumping Woops Wrong test LP. This one https://www.amazon.com/HIFI-NEWS-Test-Producers-Cut/dp/B00KMCL1PE | |
| Sub Sonics and woofer pumping Last_lemming are the woofers pumping at normal listening levels or just when you turn it up?The Nagaoka is very stiff and we really do not know where you are.It would help if you could get the Hi Fi News Test LP. Then we can know for sure. It also... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? The problem with calculations is that there is enough variation in tonearms and cartridges that the published specs may be off a little.The record tells you what is really happening. But the resonance is not a sharp peak. It is a bell curve. The p... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? The different size counterweights are supplied so you can counterbalance different weight (mass) cartridges. You can not control resonance with different mass counterweights because once the cartridge is balanced you wind up with the same effectiv... | |
| Sub Sonics and woofer pumping Last lemming, you have several problems culminating in amplification of rumble. The most significant one is that you are using a very stiff cartridge in a uni pivot arm. Your resonance frequency is too high and you are amplifying rumble inherent i... |
