| Resistors Thank you Kenjit. I have built lord knows how many crossovers for dipole speakers. There is no where to hide the crossovers so I make them to look like art work. I chose the components that look the best. Good 1% resisters of the same value always... | |
| Cost effective Schumann Resonator Wow. | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Thanks Ralph.I just wanted to point out that there are two ways to view the tonearm cartridge "system" From a sonic (electrical) point of view the system is a high pass filter. But from a mechanical point of view it is a low pass filter. It moves ... | |
| Love it when it snows millercarbon, I totally agree with you but you could put it in a nicer way.There are many very intelligent people who are totally ignorant on the subject of climate science. The problem is that most of them have no idea how ignorant they are. I ca... | |

| Resistors Nic, either will do. Makes no difference. | |
| Help building first tube system. Hi Walstib, I think Tomic has it right. Start with the speakers. You really have to go listen. Would you buy a car without looking and driving first?The speakers will 95% determine the sound of the system. Stand mounts are fine but you may want to... | |
| GaN, Hypex & ICEpower Oh, I have yet to audition an Atma sphere amp. These are class A amps which may have a longer life you just replace the tubes. | |
| GaN, Hypex & ICEpower Infecion, it depends on your speakers. If they are reasonably efficient I would favor the Manleys. I have yet to hear a Class D amp I can warm up too other than the now defunct TACT amps which really operated in a different way. They were actually... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Chakster, I'm with you on minimal care required and if there is no static any sleeve will do although the paper ones do get crappy after a while.However the issue of new vs vintage vinyl is extremely variable. I have many old European classical re... |
