| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? 10+ chakster. Forget about equations. Use the darn record! It is always best to start with a light tonearm. It is easy to add mass, much harder to take it away. You want to get your resonance point between 8 and 10 Hz for the best bass. When the c... | |
| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? The original stacked quads were in a stand made by Mark Levinson. There was a Decca ribbon tweeter between the two and the system used 30" Hartley woofers. It used 6 ML 20 watt class A amplifiers. I think they were John Curl designs. The Preamp ce... | |
| 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... |
