| Turntable dealer/set up percon Please don't.Instead watch the free Michael Fremer setup videos on YouTube. At least half the protractors and stuff he talks about are unnecessary, and perfect examples of how some audiophiles just love to make things harder than they need to be. ... | |
| Do you really use the formula for speaker placement? When following the Youtube setup, were they perfectly equidistant with L and R toed in symmetrically the exact same amount? If not then how different were the distances and angles?How exactly was the final Sumiko setup different? You're right abou... | |
| Sub Sonics and woofer pumping Never said one word about feedback. Gave you the steps to figure it out. Try it on the floor. Good luck. | |
| Sub Sonics and woofer pumping Its probably the rack. Different approaches can be taken. Here's mine:https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367A good relatively simple way to see if this is indeed the problem is to set your turntable up on the floor. The best rack is no rack and... | |
| A case for Hi Rez Digital The buyer gets the album and has a similar high quality system as the digital buyer. Just instead of a DAC...the buyer has a phono pre, Turntable, and cartridge. Just one problem: there is no such thing as a digital anything that is similar to a r... | |
| My testing confirms 16/88 is the best sounding sample rate Does it sound as good as your vintage vinyl? | |
| Soundstage gone Was there ever a time you heard stereo separation from this cartridge plugged into anything? Do they by chance make a mono version of this cartridge? | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? It matters, because everything has its own peculiar set of vibrations, resonances, sounds it makes- whatever you want to call it they are different from one to another. Easiest way to get this is to hit em and listen. A nice sharp knock that has n... | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Remember not only was he Audiogon's self-proclaimed reigning theoretical physicist, he was also an actual interstellar spacecraft propulsion engineer. He probably added New Dark Matter to his Flying Saucer For Windows, bounced off the Six Axes of ... | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws Interesting you mention chipping motors. Porsche, Ferrari and others have encoded engine management systems that are able to download data history so swapping your aftermarket chip back out does no good. Magico, Wilson and others picked up on this... | |
| Is Break-In essential and potentially dangerous for the Audiophile? Okay, well then its all malarkey. Break-in isn't even break in its burn-in. Manufacturers don't recommend it, its just something they know about, and use to their advantage in different ways. There's absolutely no way of harming anything by how it... | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Just one question: When is the mothership due back for you? | |
| Articles You Feel Should be Shared So what you're saying is, five months and nothing learned. Still stuck in the same rut. Is there even any desire to try and learn to listen? | |
| Cable droop Been thinking about this ugly as crap spring thing. Depending on how it goes, it might morph in surprising ways. One thing for sure, its too ugly to just use as-is, no matter how good it sounds. Like my cable risers, some of them are two pieces of... | |
| Is Break-In essential and potentially dangerous for the Audiophile? Do you actually believe all that malarkey? Or this is your idea of an effective infomercial for CH Acoustics? |
