| Cartridge loading I forgot. How would this affect the resonance of the cartridge in a particular tonearm. It sound like lowering the load might lower the resonance frequency? | |
| Cartridge loading After meticulous Tonearm set up I have always just used the manufacturer's recommendation. Switching around on an ARC phono amp I can not make out any difference in sound quality.Ralph, how does cartridge impedance affect all of this? I assume on ... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? It is beautifully made and with care will certainly last a lifetime. If you like Direct Drive tables go for it. The Plinth is rather basic and you will have to do some work to isolate it. | |
| Do people know what they are missing? And Schubert, are those the deplorable's? | |
| Do people know what they are missing? Schubert, and I am sure you can't possibly imagine how Trump got elected. This is a big country with segments of the population that look at life quite differently. Music is not a matter of taste. It is a universal phenomenon and more a mater of w... | |
| Question Regarding Clearaudio Concept Power Supply The iPower will do just fine but make absolute sure it takes 12 volts! | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? Great choice millercarbon. They started galvanizing the cars in 78 which abolished the rust problem. You are however due for an engine rebuild if you have not done it already. It will cost you 10 to 15K. Just giving you the warning if you are not ... | |
| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance Bill, you should really try one of the SOTA tables with vacuum. It works great and dampens the record beautifully. I do not hear a difference with various mats but I do with vacuum. You get tape like rock solid consistency. We are rhythmic creatur... | |
| At what price point do I run into diminishing returns on an MC Cartridge? Norman, pay attention to atmasphere. He is very right. Learn to set up your tonearm and cartridge correctly. You will do it better than anyone else just because it is your turntable. Do not believe any of the scales on the tonearm. You need a test... | |
| Upgrading my beginner setup and not sure how to allocate funds. New cart, table or amp? Go for the Rega P2 and put an Ortofon 2M Black in it. That will make you a really happy camper. | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? Cannabis has a definite medical role. My 91 year old father is on full strength oil. He is an arthritic cripple. It hurts just as much, he just doesn't care. This is a definite advantage. If you are just waiting around to die you might as well get... | |
| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor Right. So there are two issues here, the speaker vibrating and the floor acting as a sounding board. In geoFFkait's example he is isolating the floor from everything above 1 Hz. So the floor is being isolated nicely. But, unfortunately the speaker... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? bdp24, you misunderstood me, that was heavily tongue in cheek. I do believe I am on your side of the argument.Williewonka, there are three camps here. Those that are right, those that are wrong and then there is geoFFkait who has no idea what side... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? audiozenology, this is a good example of why you should never trust anyone's hearing. I have also seen instances in which these "AB" comparisons were rigged by someone switching EQ curves or phasing.If you can not think of a reasonable reason why ... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Bdp24, facing both directions? And I suppose one direction will make a fabulous, incredible improvement in image depth or some such and the other will not? Shit, you learn something every day. |
