| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? gosta, I certainly agree. I have been using a TACT unit for 25 years. I have ESLs and subwoofers. Once you hear a system with full digital correction there is no turning back. | |
| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? Mahler123, the answer is yes sort of. If you just use two speakers you can use a DAC after a room control unit by taking a digital output. The problem comes when using sub woofers. Now you need two 2 channel DACs. The good room control units allow... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry I think he makes 4-5 cartridges a week at most. | |
| 6J2 tube rolling? You can use any 6AS6 or 5725. These are unfortunately not very common tubes so there will not be a lot of choices. | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry I'm not sure either. He builds each cartridge himself and has quite a lab.I suspect a lot of the performance comes from manual tweaking and testing. The more expensive the cartridge the more attention it gets, the better the performance. I suspect... | |
| Game Changing Tweak Nice to see a few sane people here. All is not lost.Terry9, do you see ghosts in your closet? If your unit has a bad power supply ditch it and spend your money on something built well. I have my very own Lawn wart. The Power company made me buy it... | |
| A Highly Unusual Topic! Life does evolve doesn't it? I'm not ready to hang up my spurs yet, at least as long as I can smell. You can't argue with time. Depressing to even think about it. Why bother? | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry I do not buy used cartridges Raul. It is too risky. I am tempted to buy an Allaerts cartridge. Hopefully he will still be in business when I get the chance. I have other fish to fry first. I REALLY want to get a Schroder LT and put it on a Dohmann... | |
| Proteus compared to MSL ultra eminent ex Arsh, that is VPI's best arm. It is very light considering it's length. EF is 12.5 gms about the same as the SME V 12. You can put pretty much any modern cartridge on it. For most MC cartridges you will have to add some mass which is never a probl... | |
| A Highly Unusual Topic! It is very important for a woman to smell right. Right varies from one male to another. I do buy my wife perfume but only one brand, the one that suites the wizard inside when mixed with the natural pheromones.I myself have use Ralph Lauren's Blue... | |
| Increased interest in my Audio system during the fall The only time I am not interested in music is when I'm depressed which in me is not seasonal. I have to send myself somewhere else usually by book. The last episode I must have read 200 books and I did not touch the Hi Fi for about a year. The sys... | |
| Poor value vs snake oil... Mahgister, you've been at those psilocybin mushrooms again. | |
| Is idler drive better than belt drive or direct drive? Here we go again. I do not know where this illusion that an idler wheel turntable has more "impact" and "drive." Music has impact and drive. Turntables do not. They just spin, hopefully at a constant and noiseless 331/3 RPM. Idler wheel drives are... | |
| Help - Scroeder CB-9" tonearm - anti-skating setting issue You may have to send it back to Frank. He will make it good. It is a brilliant arm. Do tell us how it goes. Oh one more thing. The main shaft (not the arm Wand) has to be oriented just so to the spindle for the anti skate to work right. Make sure ... | |
| High-end TT setup with phono stage built in essrand, that is a rabbit hole I don't think you want to go down given your state preference for simplicity. The T+A G2000 or the SME Synergy are significantly better and will be way less problematic. Turntables are delicate devices. Worse, they t... |
