| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @dwette, It is not all that bad but you have to remember, your cartridge is more sensitive than your phone. Ideally you should be able to tap around the turntable and jump up and down in front of it and see nothing but a straight line on the phon... | |
| Dynamic Range - the golden key to music nirvana? @cleeds @frogman Most homes do not have a dynamic range of 100 dB, There is easily 40 dB of background noise in your average house. The maximum volume of a system has as much to do with speaker efficiency as it does with amplifier power. And a... | |

| Midrange Increasingly Harsh @jrcotner This is an extremely common problem call sibilance. The problem is that our ears are most sensitive at frequencies in the 3 kHz to 4 kHz region exactly the same frequencies reflections in most rooms are loudest. It is more common with ... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @dwette , That app is referring to earthquakes! The one I use is labeled Seismometer. I also use an iPhone. It looks like a real seismometer. There is a needle that paints squiggles on a graph when you disturb it. If you put it down on any surfac... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @dwette Get the app and check out how your situation is doing now. I think the app is free. When placed on the platter should be able to jump and bang around without anything registering on the platter. Wall shelfs may help with severe problems ... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? @macg19 , You can get into a lot of trouble with a rotary polisher. You can burn right through the finish. However with Menzerna 3500 and a foam polishing pad on a random orbital polisher it is virtually impossible to get into trouble. You would ... | |
| Orb Audio DF-01iA+ @wrm57 Every warped record I have received that the Sota would not clamp in the last 5 years has been from Amazon. Their return policy is seamless, but I have noted that as of late they are using record specific packing. If the Sota clamps it th... | |
| Vinyl Lovers The Zerostat can only handle so much static charge. The best way to deal with static it to provide a very low impedance path to ground. The Hudson conductive sweep arm does this beautifully at a very attractive price, 1/3rd the price of a Zerostat... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @dwette , Get a seismograph app on your phone, place the phone on the surface your turntable is sitting on and lightly tap the surface. Now put the phone on your platter and lightly tap the same surface. Play another source loudly with a lot of b... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @dwette In order for a suspension to isolate a turntable from environmental noise it has to have a resonance frequency between 1.5 and 3 Hz. This is a mechanical filter in which you have a mass and a set of springs with a given rate to produce t... | |
| Orb Audio DF-01iA+ Yes, the Orb is a winner. I thought about buying one. But, records that are warped badly enough that the Sota's vacuum can't clamp them are sent back for replacement and I already have a shortage of space. | |
| New phono stage from SOTA @rauliruegas , You are a hard man. While I agree that we do hear with other senses this occurs with the lowest frequencies. I have not seen any evidence that we can perceive higher frequencies. I will hold judgment on the Pyxi until I have use on... | |
| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. The best speaker/room is the one that gets you closest to the perfect one. The best is the most you can hope for with current tech. | |
| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. Since most rooms are seriously flawed this is unlikely to happen even with the finest equipment. |
