| Honest opinions on my two picks of loudspeakers I have never heard either speaker but just eye balling them I would go for the Revels. I have never been fond of multi driver designs. I have never heard one that I liked. Two midrange drivers should be the most you should ever need. 10 and you ha... | |
| Mounting Triplanar Tonearm to SME 20/2 Turntable I have a 30/12 and rock solid is an understatement. Aluminum may be lighter than other metals but it is still pretty heavy. It is used in this application because aluminum does not ring. It is self damping and in the thicknesses used by SME real s... | |
| Stability analysis rathi, I think you might want to ask that question under Tech Talk. LTSPICE is a circuit simulator. I suspect you would use it to analyze the AC performance of a given circuit layout using specific parts. This is not a site for electronics enginee... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? As you suggest Mike Stereophile did this interview back in 1995. I remember listening to the very first Sony CD player at a friend's shop in Akron, Ohio through Krell electronics and Magnapans. It sounded pretty poor. But, cassettes sounded a lot ... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? True atdavid. Nelson Pass admits to adding harmonic distortion to his units because "audiophiles just want to be happy." I prefer my bass a bit on the heavier side because I feel it makes things sound more live. If I turn my Sonos speakers on in t... | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? Corian does not have flakes of aluminum in it. It is alumina trihydrate and an acrylic polymer. The different manufacturers of solid surface material use different polymers. Alumina trihydrate is a byproduct of bauxite as is aluminum ore. There ar... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? It all depends on what sounds better means. There are obvious differences when you compare analog to digital versions of the same recording which I love to do with people. Frankly, it goes both ways. Sometimes the analog version sounds better and ... | |
| Mounting Triplanar Tonearm to SME 20/2 Turntable snack, the SME plinth is aluminum.Atmasphere, I absolutely agree that the tonearm has to be rigidly connected to the main bearing but I'm not sure the arm board has to be exactly the same material. It certainly has to be rigid. Plain wood of any s... | |
| Toroidal Isolation Power Conditioner 1+ ptss, Equi-Tech uses a balanced topology with their transformers so they cancel noise, any noise just like a balanced pre amp circuit. I use a 1.5 RQ on my low level and digital stuff and it is faultless. It will also last longer than I will. T... | |
| What is the correct way to use the Zerostat? There is no correct way to use a Zerostat. The problem is once you start playing the record static builds up fast. The static charge is created by the stylus rubbing the groove. Even if you use a dust cover when you take the record back to it's sl... | |
| Turntable asw, you might want to get a generator first. | |
| Turntable Asw, the MoFi deck is fine. Great Deck for the money.dweller, I suspect you could use the exercise. I lift at my gym twice a week just to make sure I’ll be able to lift my tone arm. | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? bdp24, Corian is very difficult to get if you are not a licensed installer but there are other brands available that are essentially the same stuff. Corian will actually stain over time and is not as hard as Quartz solid surface material which wil... | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? Right Teo, you need diamond tooling for this. Rich, far cheaper, easier to get and deal with is solid surface material. I like quartz products best. You can go to installers and get cut offs cheap. Laminate it with a plate of aluminum in between a... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! And these are the guys who tried to tell people that anti skating was unnecessary starting the whole myth that anti skating made things sound worse. Thanx Phoenix for your input on this. Between no anti skating and floppy uni pivot arms VPI perman... |
