| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. Oh, my vintage 1974 Pioneer TX-9100 tuner hasn't been used in decades. But it looks soooo gooooood! | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey Vibration control is a balancing act. They do this with all musical instruments. Some parts are designed to vibrate a lot, others for stiffness to better control vibrations. Think neck and frets on a guitar. Craftsmen fine tune this with layers of... | |
| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. My Miller Carbon turntable has a lead-filled acrylic platter because it looks cool. Seriously. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Especially when its spinning. Its the Teres bearing and platter. Chris Brady was here and did a demo of the di... | |
| Power Conditioner Because the fuse is almost as much improvement as the conditioner. | |
| Can Wrong VTA Damage the Stylus? No damage. No harm done. The VTA effects people are talking about, bloated bass vs too bright, are gross. In other words that's what you hear when its way way off one way or the other. The closer you get to perfect the more you have to start liste... | |
| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound All he's missing is a good vinyl set up. Then you will see what it's really all about. You think it sounds good now... Yup. There's just more there there with vinyl. | |
| Test a new dedicated circuit before installing it. You won't find much that is worth reading. The vast majority of what's written is either by electricians trying to help people who know nothing wire a house, or by audiophiles who read the stuff written for people who know nothing about wiring and... | |
| Power Conditioner Yes of course you need both. And don't forget the Orange Fuse. | |
| What Do You Think? Hey at least its not "left by curb" | |
| Room Treatment Question, lost the lowest bass notes. Your #6, when my room was brand new and empty, literally just one chair and the stereo on the floor, no room treatment at all, the bare walls created obvious modes at every frequency. There was a test CD with tones and some frequencies you could h... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey Perfect timing, I was just getting to springs. This was a real hard sell for me. Rixthetrick had some pretty good arguments that made me think. Max had some very compelling videos that made me think even more. But thinking has gotten a lot of guy... | |
| Good to remember ... how to tell what sounds better the process must be enjoyed This is much more important than one might think. Many well-meaning audiophiles shoot themselves in the foot by obsessively playing the same snippets at the same volume over and over again. Then to make things even wor... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey Great, what I was hoping. So here's my idea: springs between the speakers and the stands. Don't run! Do it like I'm gonna say and they will look almost exactly the way they do now, BUT they will sound a lot better and no more problems with the sta... | |
| The conclusion I've reached about speakers My post is withdrawn. hilde45's cannot be improved upon. | |
| Using a HT system with a tube preamp The world needs to deal with this very harsh conflict between stereo and HT. It is a real pain in the ass to piece together all the equip. Tell me about it. I must have wasted a good 2 years banging my head against this problem. Until it hit m... |
