| Audio Furniture has its own sound! hdm, the Michell Gyrodec is not an isolated turntable. An fully isolated turntable will have a suspension, spring or air tuned to 2-3 Hz. Nothing gets through from 2 Hz down. On a wooded floor I can jump up and down in front of an SME or SOTA and ... | |
| Sorbothane record weight? sr, it sounds like you are better off without a weight or get a new turn table. | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! An isolated turntable like a SOTA, SME, Basis or Air Force does not care what you put it on. It will always sound the same. Not that any stand a turntable is on should not be a sturdy as possible. | |
| Future of cables! Geoffkait, you are a mystic. dlones, I and quite a few others are not and I dare say that we are destined to be much happier in our under ware than you are and much wealthier. This is all old science. Just because you and others do not know about ... | |
| Future of cables! Has nothing to do with wires as we use them. It is all about computational speed and power. Maybe bandwidth. | |
| Cartridge Tonearm compatibility Gary, forget about the math. Get a Hi Fi News test record and see what the actual resonance frequency is. I suspect you might have to add a little weight to the head shell. So, you add weight until you get the actual resonance frequency below 10 b... | |
| Suspended cables Don, if you are worried about noise pick up from power cords just cross them at 90 degree angles. Induction will not occur at 90 degrees. I make my own power cords using 14 gauge 3 conductor and foil shield cable.I have a 100 foot roll of the stuf... | |
| Sorbothane record weight? Assuming your records are flat just a puck of any weight is pretty worthless. The rim still can vibrate just as much. You have to use either vacuum or a system like SME, Kuzma and Michell Engineering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_viQuSUmEXYT... | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers? Norm,if you are going to have higher ceilings hold out for 8 or 9 foot tall Sound Labs. More powerful, larger sound stage, less distortion.I love Maggies in smaller rooms but the fragility of the tweeter limits output so they can get lost in large... | |
| Sorbothane record weight? True mc, but some guys here have a very short spindle. | |
| 200g vinyl, more static? Lewm and ips are correct except it is not particles lewm it is electrons.Vinyl is almost at the bottom of the triboelectric series https://www.researchgate.net/figure/A-conventional-triboelectric-series-and-an-experimentally-determined-triboelec... | |
| Help to chose acoustic Why would you think three way speakers have less distortion? The lowest distortion speaker made is a one way. Sound Labs.Get the Heresy's and add subwoofers down the line. Heresy's work fabulously well with subs. 110 dB no sweat! | |
| Cartridge repair by Moscow based Roman?? Chakster, you have no idea how good Roman is or how much access to parts he has. He might be a wizard with a microscope. Assumptions are the mother of all fuck ups.Cool, what Soundsmith is telling you is your cartridge is unfortunately junk. Junk ... | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" and by the way it is all compressed. Just a matter of how much. High resolution digital download offers the opportunity for full dynamic range but requires making another master specifically for it. Eventually we will see it. | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" mc, since when am I PC. I'm a certified desert dweller.Like most modern popular artists Santana's later work lacks the intensity of youth. It is too polished, too well thought out. As for this citizen of the world BS, it would be lovely except the... |
