| Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :) Save the Ales. Why? Do they improve with age? | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Hard to believe, but sounds virtually the same. Maybe a tiny bit more open and present without. Maybe. Nowhere near enough to be worth even a tiny risk of faster/uneven wear. Oh well. No surprise really. Origin Live Conqueror. Not like they were e... | |
| Component isolation geoffkait-“If I could explain it to the average dude they wouldn’t have given me the Nobel prize.” Oddly enough, no Nobel Prize winner ever said that.On the other hand Richard Feynman, who really did win a Nobel Prize, actually did say, "If you... | |

| Component isolation Don't tease me, bro! The Nimbus Sub Hertz Platform is no longer available! http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina24.htmCan't imagine why this didn't catch on. | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? This thread has me keen to try mine without tonight. Origin Live Conqueror, uses the fishing line weight method, easy to disconnect, will have to give it a try tonight. | |
| Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :) I'm the richest man in the world. I have one quadrillion dollars. Says so right here on this Zimbabwe dollar bill.I don't drink often. But when I do, I drink a lot.Stay thirsty my friends. | |
| Digital Room Correction For Speakers The problem with this approach is the best it can do is flatten response at one location. But this comes at the cost of worse response at other locations. Not to mention all the problems inherent in equalization itself.By far the better approach i... | |
| Component isolation zavato: Let’s say you’re going to add isolation feet to a component with no moving parts, such as a preamp, phono stage, DAC, amp, tuner, etc. Which one is most critical to the extent would get your attention first? It doesn't work that way. Ever... | |
| Is this a good idea? Well they carry the same amplitude signal from the CD player regardless of volume, so that part doesn't matter. Burning them in like this is fine. Some will say there are burn-in tracks you could be playing that will do a slightly better job, but ... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? tubelvr1: Thank you millercarbon for the detailed explanation. Does anti skating affect loudness of a channel also? I believe after removing the weight my right channel sounds equal to the left whereas before it was slightly louder. Read back th... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? This is mistaken. While stylus shape can influence skating force, the actual cause of the force is the pickup arm offset. That's why true linear tracking arms have no skating force. There are also a few pivoted arms that have no offset; they als... | |
| Will technology make records obsolete one day? So, IMHO, money will be put to work in developing digital streaming and sound quality will eventually improve to where it is considered the best available.Exactly. Exactly what was said when the "perfect sound forever" CD came out. And HDCD. And... | |
| Anyone ever see a speaker with spun copper ports with full range driver? You do realize the use of copper is purely aesthetic? They need the looks to distract from the fact there's nothing new here. | |
| heeeelp please audio reserch 5SE - resistor blew up If you just want to fix it- just look at the next tube socket, find the corresponding resistor and use the same value.However, only one thing caused that resistor to burn out: current.Which probably was due to the tube. So whatever you do, change ... |
