| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? 1+++ geoffkait, couldn't have said it better myself:) | |
| INNER GROOVE DISTORTION Joey's problem is probably due to several factors conspiring against inner groove tracking.It does appear people tend to underestimate the skating force. If you think you are going to counter it with twisted 24 gauge wire at the fulcrum of a 9 to ... | |
| Measuring turntable speed big_greg, great find! for $16 does the same thing a Timeline does for $400. I ordered one and will report back. | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? Elliot, smart man. Measure twice cut once. My contractor had that stenciled on his truck. The Pioneer arm is in the same ball park as the JVC arm which I like better but I have to admit my preference is instinctive. Most tonearms with removable he... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? lewm, you have to be kidding. Please tell me you are kidding. Do you have ghosts in your closet? Even a cheap modern turntable transfers very little energy to the surrounding environment. A good turntable with a good record hold down system that d... | |
| Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas? If you have dirty records or buy used records it will do the job nicely. If I were to buy a record cleaning machine it would be on my short list. However IMHO the best path to clean static free records is not to let them get dirty in the first pla... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It is really Paul Desmond who is the stand out artist of the group. A lyrical saxophonist with incredible control of the instrument. I do not want to say anything interpreted as bad about Dave Brubeck but he is not a pianist that takes me to other... | |
| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? The original theory behind Schumann resonators was that if you created an electromagnetic pulse at 7.83 Hz (the loudest Schumann resonance point. I think there are 8 total up to 45 Hz) you will overwhelm all the man made electromagnetic pollution ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There are and were so many great Jazz drummers. Certainly Morello was one of them. My favorite drummers all offer something that no other drummer does, a personal signature. I always know who it is after just a few bars. Elvin Jones, Tony Williams... | |
| More questions about dedicated lines Millercarbon, taking advise from a person who can't hear is better than taking advice from a person who is delusional. The vast majority of us have a limited amount of money to spend. I think that most of us would agree that the money should be sp... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? Hi Elliot, You are making life difficult. The Japanese mostly design their arms around stiff moving coil cartridges. My guess is the arm has an effective mass somewhere between 15 and 20 grams which is too heavy for many moving magnet cartridges l... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? Elliot, stay away from any tone arm that, "needs repair." A tonearm should never need repair. Any good tonearm is a life long investment. If it needs repair it was abused in some way or it was a bad design. Any tonearm with an offset angle require... | |
| The Who (Deluxe) Like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards they are survivors. Quite a few did not. It seems that humans are more intense when they are younger. They smooth out with age. I guess I prefer the intensity of youth when it comes to music, rock at least. | |
| I love outstanding recordings Some of my favorite music are terrible recordings. I appreciate a great recording but not as much as great music and musicianship. It is nice when they all converge. Richard and Linda Thompson's Shoot Out the Lights is a good example. Howlin Wolf'... |
