| Thoughts on SS bass. Tube mid and high tube pre Sounds like a plan to me. It will help if your cross over has level control. | |
| Cartridge azimuth adjustment using a voltmeter and a test lp The issue is that the coils have the proper geometric relationship to the record. Cartridges now a days are well constructed the stylus being in the proper relationship to the coils. The parameter most affected is separation. Thus you can assume t... | |
| Speaker manufacturers or box manufacturers with off the shelf drivers? Thanx verdantaudio. Well said. It is not the driver but how it is used. There certainly is an element of trial and error here especially with cross overs. Enclosures are the real problem. They can screw up a perfectly good driver. There are a bazi... | |

| Speaker cable arrows??? Not a meltdown at all Geoffkait just antimythological. Some of us believe an incredible amount of pure fallacy. Some of us use fallacy to steal other people's money. Actually too many of us do that. Sometimes I have to stop and ask myself if that ... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? Actually, groove wear does not cause pops or ticks. It slows groove velocity. Dust ground into the surface does that along with static and overload. This is a problem we have all learned to live with. It just goes with the territory. If you don't ... | |
| Equal or better tonearm than Jelco for like amount of money I am not a fan of big "S" shaped arms with removable head shells. Many of them are too massive for some of the more compliant LOMC cartridgesand many MM cartridges. It is easy to add mass but very hard to take it away. So, it is better to er on th... | |
| Equal or better tonearm than Jelco for like amount of money The Origin Live Alliance is a very decent low priced tonearm that can be adapted to most cartridges. It does not have a removable head shell. I personally do not like contacts out there anyway. I think Frank Kuzma has the right method with his he... | |
| Jelco tonearms closes That Sucks! | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? Total and complete BS. If you hear a difference it is all in your mind. Music is an AC signal. Electrons go back and forth. Show me a difference in impedance one way or the other. You can't even with the most sensitive instruments.Back in the 80s ... | |
| Considering a new Phono Pre-Amp Jay, I think you will notice that the 310 is quieter. I'm not sure how much of an improvement in sound quality you will get otherwise. Noise is a very obvious and annoying problem. I personally lean toward tube units with phono amps and I really l... | |
| THE GOLDEN AGE OF TURNTABLES! edgewear, I'm not upset at all. I can understand the romantic notions people have with the past. I drive an old 911 because it has a character missing in the new cars. I also have a new one which from a performance standpoint is far superior but t... | |
| Feeling Tweaky Skyscraper, get yourself a nice cookie jar and label it Hi Fi. If you get the urge to buy something ....silly, throw the money in the jar. Eventually you will have enough for something significant like a new cartridge. I do not understand this ins... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? I do not think electronics create sound stage. They may be able to harm it but I do not know that for a fact. The job for electronics is to replicate whatever the source is and then perhaps modify it in a very specific way. Some tube electronics g... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? I don't. It may be easier to start with a speaker that is reasonably flat but a speaker that is flat will sound bright and bass shy under most circumstances. Most people have no idea what their system is doing and their opinion is based on assumpt... |
