| audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade If that really is your "system" then boy do I have the upgrades for you! In no particular order: Synergistic HFT, ECT, PHT, Orange Fuses, Orange outletsCable Elevators BDR Cones And then there’s the really good stuff. But for that you have to PM a... | |
| Why not underhung voice coil? Okay so slow work day here thanks to the CCP virus combined with misinformation keeping everyone afraid to go out (when they could just cover their face and be fine) so I had time to look this one up. Which I had to do seeing as its such an arcane... | |
| Would a wireless volume knob for home theaters be worth it? So what you're saying, they have licked the knob. | |
| Why not underhung voice coil? This might be too techie even for tech talk. I feel hung over just reading it. | |
| VTA on the fly I have found extremely small changes are noticeable once I am very close to my target...Me too. My first experience setting VTA was a Glider on the Graham 2.0 arm. Starting from the recommended near parallel eyeball method I listened and it soun... | |
| Finally.......Pleasant sounding strings on a modest system No residue! Its fantastic stuff. Pliable and stretchy, sticks with almost no pressure. Yet even after clamping for a long time it can be peeled away with no residue. There's a carbon fiber washer around the spindle of my turntable, the record clam... | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? We could measure this. But why? Every room has areas where frequencies reinforce and areas where they cancel. Every speaker has its own individual frequency response. What matters is where in the room the response of the speakers combines with the... | |
| Would a wireless volume knob for home theaters be worth it? No, a knob would not be worth it. One of those big handles like in an airplane cockpit, that's the way to go. | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? Okay so first you build the room.... | |
| Finally.......Pleasant sounding strings on a modest system Good work. For strings, try fo.Q tape. Remove speaker gaskets (if any) and put thick fo.Q tape in place. Then cut pieces of fo.Q tape and stick them on the speaker basket (frame). fo.Q is a special piezoelectric vibration damping tape. Unlike most... | |
| Convenience vs Quality Especially if you're up and around doing stuff and not sitting in the dark focused listening. I can enjoy a YouTube of Mel Torme off my laptop. Come to think of it, I have. | |
| Filter Capacitance OP said:I'm studying amplifier tech because I'm running into some difficulty when running the STA200 into my Moabs, at high volumes characterized by significant bass extension: think giant BOOM and you get the idea. Most of what I listen to is jaz... | |
| Filter Capacitance Well when you put it that way then yes there may well be "a relationship between the specs and the workings of these amps, as envisaged and contrasted in the lineup of a single amp manufacturer of numerous models". When you put it that way. Which ... | |
| VTA on the fly While the record was playing I turned the micrometer one half turn clockwise, and there was according to him the right amount of bass. He then asked me what I did, because he seemed startled, and had no idea.That's the way I did it with my Graham... | |
| VPI Scout 1.1 9T setup questions Um, yeah. It would be pretty amazing if it was able to lift the arm before making contact with it. The adjustment you're looking for is a tiny little allen screw that holds the lift cylinder in place. The lift stroke is fixed. Loosen the set scre... |
