| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Peterayer, no big surprise. The 30/12 is an amazing turntable. It's degree of isolation is better than any turntable I am aware of. The V12 is IMHO SME's best tonearm. Have you checked your resonance frequency on a test record? The SME is the ligh... | |
| Best tonearm under $2k rickraymond, that is correct you want a higher effective mass arm for cartridges with lower compliance. However, there is no typical 12" arm. The SME V-12 has an effective mass of 12 grams and the Kuzma 4 Point 11 16 grams. I am sure there are 12"... | |
| Phono Preamp The EAR 834 P is an excellent choice if you like classic tube sound. If you like leaning more towards SS sound but want just a little of that tube glow a used ARC PH-3 or PH-3 SE would be the way to go. Funny thing is that both phono amps use the ... | |
| Best tonearm under $2k Wow, everyone's on a roll here, chakster is on the money and matt'ssuggestion I think is also excellent. The Jelco would work for you but the SME is better. The Sorane is a wild card. Looking at pictures of it my instinct says no. It has a very co... | |
| Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue wcheng, it might be the speaker tripping the amps overheat safety shut off. Disconnect the speaker cables from the speakers and check the resistance of each speaker with a meter. They should be very close to the same. In order to trip the amp the ... | |
| I need some turntable guidance Soundermn, actually I have two problems. After kids mine has shrunk to only three inches and then there is my Alzheimer's disease or was that vascular dementia? | |
| I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology An air motion transformer is like an accordion. It has a pleated diaphragm that squeezes air out of the pleats when it vibrates so very little vibration will produce a lot of air motion. Just another way of matching impedance with air. They are ea... | |
| I need some turntable guidance I think wemfan tuned out a while ago. I was just trying to keep him from making a big mistake and buying a Linn. Daveyf wants to make sure everybody else has to spend money getting their Linn modified. rauliruegas, I like you better every day. Hig... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Phoenixengr, that would involve using a sophisticated solid state 3 phase converter plus the electronics to control speed. I can just see people getting a rotary converter with their Turntable:)Rodman, use Millers racing oil. It has nano particles... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? cd318, quite a long marketing dissertation for a easily solved problem. All he says about our hearing is correct. Our ears are primarily location detection devices. They evolved to locate danger. His analysis of speakers is correct. This is the ma... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Hold on Andy. That is a mistake. Yes they are all transducers but their ability to function in air is quite different. ESLs and horns are a better impedance match to air and transmit sound waves more efficiently. Dynamic drivers have to work harde... | |
| Speaker Support - Three Feet or Four Three feet is always better locked to the floor but not necessarily more stable. It might be easier to knock the speaker over so placement of the feet is critical. I put two feet up front in the corners and one in the center back trying to get as ... | |
| Linn LP12 I channel louder? I guess the lesson to all is make absolutely sure your turntable is set up correctly. It only requires a few inexpensive tools, a test record and practice. Never trust a dealer or even manufacturer to get it right. | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Richardkrebs, I do not think there is much difference between analog and digital in that regard. There is just more stuff to deal with in the analog world. Staying purely in the analog world I think you rob yourself of some fine musical experience... |
