| Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance?? Prefer great minds guide me. I know where you're coming from. Had the same problem as a kid trying to understand cars, how the engine runs, etc. All the other kids seemed so well versed. Wasn't until I got a shop manual and did my own tune ups ... | |
| Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening Moab, 98dB, 20W Raven Blackhawk. Switching to high sensitivity speakers like Tekton, or even higher sensitivity than that, is a huge step in the right direction that will greatly, vastly improve your odds of reaching a really high level system. Wh... | |
| Grounding cable gauge size I’m surprised just reading about it. Because while I have tried different grounding and heard differences they were never anything to do with wire type or gauge and the differences I heard were never anything like this. However, I have also seen s... | |
| Transmission line speakers! ditusa- Yes and the L65 has the 6 in front of the 5 instead of behind it like in the L25. Good catch. Anyway thanks, I was wrong about Jubal don't know where that came from they were L25 Prima. The L26 was the wood cabinet version of the L25. Same... | |
| Transmission line speakers! First speakers I built were the Roger Sanders transmission line design published in Speaker Builder magazine back in 1980. Being dirt poor they were built to fit the 10" woofers from my old JBL L26 Jubal speakers. These transmission lines were a... | |
| Turntable Hum Yes, inherently noisy, and this can vary a lot between cartridges and arms even on the same phono stage. Usually anything low level and uniform like you're talking would be within the norm. You can try and reduce if it matters to you but could spe... | |
| Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system? Clearly everyone agrees DSP is the answer. Only by tearing the music apart, ripping it literally to bits, manipulating and altering and stitching it back together again, can we be true to the source. | |
| Turntable Hum Power cords themselves won't cause this except that they are the path to ground. So lifting the ground on one or both is another test. Use a cheater plug to test this. Then if that doesn't work I would try the Allnic somewhere else, another system... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables Read it again. Conductor spacing is a single thin layer. You couldn't get his ribbons that closely spaced even if you glued them. The insulation around each one would be at least twice, and probably more like 4x-5x the spacing in F1. Also the shap... | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? Sounds like you got it figured out. Servo or sealed, powered or ported, get whatever you like just get 4 and you will be fine. Then if you also are able to budget for Townshend Pods under those subs, and Podiums under your speakers, this will grea... | |
| Question : has anybody placed a Shunyata Omega QR power cord on thier sourse components ? How did this happen? | |
| Question : has anybody placed a Shunyata Omega QR power cord on thier sourse components ? Yeah there was a documentary film made some years ago about it. The film makers said the market audience for watching audiophiles post on-line was too small, so they changed it to I wake up in a future surrounded by a lot of the same characters as... | |
| Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal" Wobbling up and down like that is bad, but ultimately not that bad in perspective, considering a lot of LPs are like that anyway. Would be worse if off center as that would generate speed variation or wow. When you say "with extended chords sound ... | |
| Turntable Hum Ground loop hum is typically about 60Hz, a low throbbing hum, and indicates a ground loop problem. Higher frequency buzzing sounds like your normal run of the mill phono cartridge/phono stage noise. Two similar and related but yet different things... | |
| Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal" Might not realize this, the ones above certainly missed it, but there are four different things going on here. From bottom to top: platter, mat, record, and arm. Watching the first few seconds it is clear the bottom edge of the platter is oscilla... |
