| 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... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-54 Tonearm. ANTI-SKATE??? Elliot has already proven that the anti skate is too heavy for a VTF of 1.5 gm. He put the stylus down in the run out area and it immediately drifted out.Elliot, just for fun disable the anti skate by lifting the bob up with your finger and place ... | |
| Love it when it snows Earth's environment has been changing for approximately 4.5 billion years give or take 50 million and it will continue to change. The next little wiggle on it's axis and we will be back in another ice age. Humans will do what they always do, accom... | |
| Subwoofer matching Kalali, the idea that a smaller subwoofer is faster is incorrect. Given appropriately designed motors a 15" sub is just as fast as a 10" sub. The 15" driver does not have to move as far to produce the same output so typically larger drivers have l... | |
| What creates the effortlessness in sound reproduction? Huy, it is mostly the amplifier, speakers and room. You need an amp that can effortlessly drive the speakers to 110 dB. This will depend on the efficiency of the speakers. The speakers have to be peak free or even a little depressed (3 dB) in the ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-54 Tonearm. ANTI-SKATE??? Exactly. Make that lighter weight and see how it tracks the run out area between grooves. It should just barely drift towards the spindle. | |

| Fidelity Research FR-54 Tonearm. ANTI-SKATE??? Elliot, thinking about it, I would not grind that weight down. I would just make a new anti skate bob with some light fishing line and lead fishing weights. Lead is very soft and easy to trim. Mike | |
| Fidelity Research FR-54 Tonearm. ANTI-SKATE??? Elliot, there is no direct relationship between tracking force and the weight of the anti skate bob. I do believe there was an add on weight that threaded into the bob. At any rate, set up your cartridge and tonearm. When you place the needle in t... | |
| Subwoofer matching Chilli, Any subwoofer that can match the volume you like to listen at will be fine. Most of us rarely listen over 95 dB and any pair of 12" subwoofers will do that easily. They all have adjustable gain. You just adjust it to match the output of yo... | |
| Your opinions about KOETSU URUSHI BLUE or VERMILLION tkr, it is that euphoric quality that some of us love about the Koetsu's. You would have to add a lot of weight to the SME V to get the bass right.I use my Koetsu for string quartets and the like not for R+R and rarely for Jazz. The other cartridg... | |
| 60Hz hum Or a bad diode jeaSimon, I think you are absolutely right. Your integrated needs to be sent in for service. I would send it in to NAD. Or, you can dump it and get something new. Mike | |
| Your opinions about KOETSU URUSHI BLUE or VERMILLION Mulveling, The Rosewood Signature Platinum weights 3 to 4 grams less than a stone bodied cartridge and requires a heavier tonearm to get the same bass impact. Bass and "impact" are the two most sensitive characteristics of a cartridge, the easiest... | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... Davey, it is much more than just the cost of buying and shipping the cartridge. It is having a storefront, insurance, salespeople etc so you can waltz in, listen and make an informed decision on what you want to buy.Having said that, it all depend... |
