| Another marketing gimmick? Thank you Dan D'Agostino. He started this back in the early 80's with Krell. Initially it was just thick face plates and gold screws. I would like to think his early Krell stuff sold because it really sounded good but soon other manufacturers clim... | |
| Measuring turntable speed Optimize, in this life it helps to be realistic about things. Nobody I know is going to spend $50 large on a turntable and try to add mass to the platter.Does a heavy platter reduce wow and flutter? Given the same motor probably but with a differe... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? mahgister, I think you were on to something. Your last line should have read, "And think with your heart not only your brain."If listening to your system makes you smile, gives you that little tingle inside you are in business. If all you hear are... | |
| Preamp connection to multiple powered subwoofers Kalali, the best way to do this is run your preamp output to a dedicated crossover like a dBx Drive Rack. The Drive Rack will then give you outputs to your satellite amp and subwoofers. Or your could get an Anthem Preamp which will handle the whol... | |
| Measuring turntable speed Optimize, I know of no turntable were you can adjust wow and flutter. I know a bunch were you can adjust the speed. Thus a device measuring 3150 times a second is no more useful in adjusting speed than one measuring every revolution. It is revolut... | |
| Why are brick and mortar HiFi dealers so bad? ghasley, its not flawed it just doesn't exist any more. Sales people know right away whether or not a customer is "qualified" or not. The biggest tell is what car they drive up in. Qualified customers always get treated better. It is just how sale... | |
| If you were to design a tone arm, what would it look like and feature? Just a thought and I will take this up with my son in law to be an industrial robotics engineer. Robots have gotten accurate beyond belief with motors and drive systems accurate to less than a thousandth of an inch. It should be possible I would t... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? davekayc, two drivers operating in phase with each other are acting acoustically as one driver if they are within 1/2 wave length of each other at their highest operational frequency. It does not matter where they are pointed. As an example if the... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? Duke has made available to audiophiles an integrated multi subwoofer system at a great price. Kudos to him. There are three considerations when it comes to accurate bass performance. The woofer itself by which I mean the driver and it's enclosure,... | |
| Sound treatment Rhodes, this type of treatment will reduce echo above around 250 Hz and will greatly reduce blare in large public rooms. Use for Hi Fi has to be far more selective or you will do more harm than good. There are many manufacturers of sound absorptio... | |
| Measuring turntable speed Got it. It is called the DT-2234+ digital tachometer. Comes in a little blue soft case with 3 10" strips of reflective tape and a 9 volt battery.Accuracy is said to be +- 0.1 RPM. Works as advertised and sure beats messing around with strobe light... | |
| Inner groove distortion solved! Joey then you noticed in Peter's video that he and Frank Schroder recommend setting the anti skating so that the tone arm drifts in slowly between grooves in the run out section. I set my arms with the HI FI News test record and low an behold they... | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts I think duke hit it on the head. Multi sub systems with some EQ, phase and time alignment are best. | |
| Question about TT Power Connections Jay, all three tables are fine. I like the MoFi Ultradeck myself. The wall wart or separate power supply is always best for turntables. You do not want AC anywhere near your cartridge. There is nothing wrong with a well designed wall wart. | |
| An Epiphany Thank you rwortman. No only that but I never have any "black stuff" on my stylus. Millercarbon you got to stop smoking those cigars or start using a dust cover. Vinyl is very amorphous stuff. It adheres to itself very strongly. So strongly that wh... |
