| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover @ghdprentice has the right idea. The Hudson HiFi brush discharges static to ground and sweeps incidental dust out of the way of the stylus. I use one and my record cleaning solution has Larostat 264A in it which totally prevents static build up. T... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @wrm57 Here I am. I was taking a nap. The problem is that most people have no idea where they are actually starting. The contact line has to start at 92 degrees. Even with a stabilized high power USB microscope this can be hard to see. In many ... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! @phusis and @atmasphere are making a lot of sense here. Most of the distortion created by subwoofers is not coming from their drivers, but from their enclosures, the room and poor integration. Using large and or multiple drivers that have well de... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks The easiest system to use is Dirac Live. I know people who are using the MiniDSP SHD Studio and two high quality dacs with great success. It also streams and has a built in equalizer. I have personally set up two such systems and turned ... | |
| Looking for a new Subwoofer Go with two of the Vandersteen subs. Two are the minimum. Never consider just one. IMHO the problem for most commercial subwoofers is their enclosures. When auditioning a subwoofer put your hand on it, any vibration or shaking you feel is distorti... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks It has and is still more of an adventure than I would like. We just got another update and it is improving. A lot of it is my fault. My system, because of its dipole line source nature, is difficult to measure the way their system demand... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! @deep_333 You are not understanding the physics of the situation deep. A powerful amp with a very low output impedance completely controls to motion of a well designed subwoofer driver. Music (sound) is not a series of stop and go traffic lights.... | |
| Upgrading from. Rega Planar 6 to a Planar 8?? Put a Lyra Delos on the P10 and it will be anything but bright and brittle. The Lowly Delos is better than any Hana cartridge and the RB3000 is one of the best tonearms made. Ultimately, all of these tables need to be on an isolation platform. I a... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! @deep_333 I am deep into control systems. I have been using room control and digital bass management since 1996 not to mention I design and build my own subwoofers. One of today's excellent low distortion subwoofer drivers 12" and larger, used in ... | |
| Upgrading from. Rega Planar 6 to a Planar 8?? Pivetta, that is a sideways step. Be patient and save more. Rega makes a good table. Wait and get a Planar 10, an improvement you will notice, and put a Lyra Delos on it! | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! @deep_333 What you just stated to @m-db is marketing hyperbole without any basis in reality. The right term is powerful bass. Powerful bass requires the ability to move a large volume of air in a controlled fashion. This generally means large or m... | |
| External crossovers for subs @jastralfu 1/2 the advantage of using a subwoofer comes from filtering out the low bass from the main speaker which lowers distortion in the main speaker. This requires a complete two way crossover. The simple low pass filter that comes with most... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR @elliottbnewcombjr Do you believe your eyes? Compare the pictures. As I said, the diamond is full of contamination, one edge is obviously pitted. The contact patches are well cut and polished and the stylus is perfectly oriented. But a diamond tha... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR @mwh777 The V15 V MR with a Jico SAS/B stylus will work in either arm, I think the PU 7 is better. If the resonance frequency is too low you can use the Damper, but you have to add another 0.5 gm to the VTF. The problem is going to be the size of ... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? @seb_audio Sealed subwoofers rule, but the concept of speed is a fallacy when it comes to subwoofers. Smaller drivers have to move farther to displace the same volume as a larger sub driver. As the excursion distance increases the tension on the s... |
