| Quantum Science Audio Thread "there is an arrow on the fuse tube." So what! All AC voltage/current is unidirectional! Uh, "unidirectional" means "in one direction". Hence the arrow. | |
| Up grade to a new turntable Sorry, but I am gonna break protocol and radio silence on this one. Don’t care what MF says. Don’t care what anyone says. Only care what my ears hear, because that is what we call REALITY. And reality tells me there is nothing in all of turntable ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! vinylshadow- Although, I may leave the spikes on initially to tip the speakers right side up and slip the podium underneath, then tip the left side up and skid the podium under. Then take all spikes off. Or maybe take the right spikes off and ... | |
| Benz Micro Glider SL or Acoustical Systems Fidelis Cartridge Right, the Parasound has 64dB of gain. Almost exactly the output/gain match I had with mine. The Glider with 0.4mV will be no problem. Should be a nice combination. Would not want to use anything the least bit technical with that phono stage. Th... | |
| Digital tweaks or upgrades that do work Granite rings. Badly. Not good at all. Only reason I use it, didn't know it at the time. It does add mass, and it is stiff, so it can be made to work. Mine is on a sand bed that helps to damp ringing from below, and with Townshend Pods to help iso... | |
| Please recommend a powerful tube amplifier The Audio Hungary Qualiton X200 is 100wpc. This is a measly 1dB or so below your arbitrary 140W minimum. In other words you will never hear the difference. Not in power, anyway. In a lot of other ways, sure. Because if the first watt isn't any goo... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! The sad fact of the matter, a glass half empty kind of guy will always see the world as half empty. The CW was and still is that auditions are essential, and preferably in-home auditions. Back in the 90’s this made a lot of sense. Or so it seemed.... | |
| Should we pay more attention to delays in sound? I've been saying for years speakers must be precisely equidistant and symmetrical. The researchers could have saved an awful lot of time and money simply asking me. Seven inches, ha! Even a fraction of an inch has an audible effect on image focus.... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread The last thing you want to do with a touchy topic like this is post a couple hundred words of poorly translated word salad. Because even with perfectly pristine prose such as mine haters still find ways of twisting it to fit their predetermined na... | |
| Daily Record cleaning I don't. I have a VPI HW16 beside the table and for a long time would do a distilled water rinse and vacuum before each side. What a hassle. So now I clean once, real good with Walker Enzyme 4 Step. Zero-stat (and sometimes also Radio Shack Bulk T... | |
| Room Dimensions and Devore To be honest, in 50 years an audiophile going all the way back to using acoustic panels in my bedroom at 13, I never once thought about the room when buying speakers. This is such a fallacy I cannot even begin to explain. But I also know it is a f... | |
| Benz Micro Glider SL or Acoustical Systems Fidelis Cartridge I had a Glider. Wonderful cartridge. There is always a balance with every component, no one can ever have it all. Inevitably something gets a little more emphasis than something else. Top end extension, bottom end, dynamics, whatever. Benz to my e... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread It is unfortunate the article begins with the false notion of the fuse being there to protect the component. The fuse is NOT there to protect the component! The fuse is there to protect the HOUSE! Takes about one millisecond to understand the fuse... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Not quite. I still use BDR mostly to avoid scratching the Moabs. Whole lot easier to move around with Cones on there. Then also use BDR Round Things UNDER the Podiums. They serve as high tech furniture gliders. In any case BDR are not isolation. ... | |
| PS audio new 25K dac and the psychological effect of owning a company's best. Relevant to the OP: No, doesn't matter one bit. I was all set and ready to place an order for Tekton's best Ulfberht when just before ordering talked to the one with the most experience, having had both Ulf and Moab in his own system. He said save... |
