| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers Hey kosst when humans do not know what's going on they mythologize and with the placebo effect they can talk themselves into believing their myths. Those of us with 1/2 a brain rely on well developed concepts to determine the likelihood of anythin... | |
| What is the correct way to use the Zerostat? Lewm You can contradict me all you want.Zerostats will kill static VERY temporarily. Like I said before the stylus rubbing the groove puts the charge back on in a hurry attracting dust to the record and there is plenty of dust in the air just look... | |
| SME 312S arm pulling into the center too much. Make sure your table is perfectly level. Then check the set up of the arm. If there is too much overhang the skating force will increase. I have also seen a broken stylus do this before. Bad diamond. It just fractured. It sounded surprisingly norm... | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? Yes it is possible. Vinyl is like wine. There are good ones and bad ones.You usually get a near silent pressing with Decca, EMI, Erato, and Hamonia Mundi. Phillips and DGG about 1/2 the time. I'm sure there are other small European labels that do ... | |
| How does Amazon sell a 300.00 cartridge for 180.00? For the first time I am agreeing with millercarbon. Go figure. | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz Angel, I think Atmasphere has some substantial arguments in favor of vinyl. Breaking down into the simplest terms, older music that was recorded well and in analog is generally going to sound better than CD quality. There is plenty of fantastic ol... | |
| What is the correct way to use the Zerostat? Zerostats do not work. The problem is that as soon as the stylus starts rubbing the groove static electricity is generated pulling dust towards the record. There are two ways to deal with this. The first is always use a dust cover. If your table d... | |
| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? awilder, that is no where near enough subwoofer for that room. Who recommended that? You need at least two 12 "subs or four of the ones you have. I have a 16 X 30' room and use four 12" subs with 2000 watts each. They should have room control then... | |
| Cartridge Selection Tablejockey, I think that is particularly true at the less expensive end of the market but when you get to Sutherland and Pass SS phono amps that argument breaks down. The one gig I would love to try is Channel D's system where you have an unequal... | |
| Cartridge Selection It wasn't Transfiguration's fault that it's owner and principle brain trust passed away. Unfortunately, he must not have had a relative interested in carrying on like Grado and Koetsu. The Proteus was a great cartridge. I never owned one but I had... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers I could not agree with Prof more. I have never heard an ultra expensive speaker worth the price. Building Loudspeakers is way easier than building electronics especially if you use someone else's drivers. Anyone know how expensive a surface mount ... | |
| Cartridge Selection I have a friend who put a Soundsmith, not sure which one on an old Thorens TD 125 and it hummed like crazy not to mention that the arm was too heavy for it. He returned to an Ortofon SPU. Different cartridges have different sounds so you have to k... | |
| The Science of Cables mkug, then all these people would have nothing to talk about. I'm with you. You pick the cable for the job at hand paying attention to those properties you mentioned. Constructing your own is the best because you have more control over cable lengt... | |
| Cartridge Selection The Koetsu is way too stiff for that arm.The Lyra Delos is perfect as is the Clearaudio Talisman Gold. The Clearaudio is a bit more dynamic and it is also brighter. If you think you need a little more treble it is perfect. If your system treble is... | |
| speaker repair Cleeds that is just a manner of speech but you are right it would have been more appropriate to say, "and express disappointment." No owner who spent that much on loudspeakers is going to be happy that they disintegrated. I have two pair of cheap ... |
