| Audio Logic DAC cap rolling... replace 5.0 value with 4.7 ? Erik: My preamp is a Thor TA-1000. Input impedance is 250kohm. The DAC is transformer coupled and these are the only sizeable caps so I imagine they are the signal caps... not sure if that is the same as "ouput" caps? My ignorance...Why wouldn't t... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus I think using a gold coin is a great idea because we all know that the more it costs the better it works.But on a serious note and getting back to my earlier point in this thread I am in the other camp on weighing down the Magic Eraser. If on occ... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus Magic Eraser comes in rectangles... Shaped like a sponge. Be very careful using them. I would not try to use them like sandpaper, moving the Eraser against the stylus. It is extremely porous and will grab onto the needle. I keep the Eraser fixed ... | |
| Jelco 850 total weight Yes but the springs seem to be fine for now and I would like to avoid taking it apart if I can help it. Part of my need to check weight stems from advice I have received that some arms are simply too heavy for the sota suspension even if it were b... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus Fjn04... I was kinda thinking the opposite -- that it might be better to give the ME less inertia, not more. If the stylus sticks due to friction I am guessing it would be less damaging if the ME lifted slightly rather than presenting an immovable... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus Millercarbon, don't worry. Duane can take you to the airport.Lewm: Yes there can be no more than VTF force while it's going down. It is going up we are wondering about. You would think there would be nothing to "catch", given the shape of the styl... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus My experience is the same as LewM. I used a usb microscope and the ME makes the stylus spotless, unlike liquids or Onzo. Having someone else repeat that result makes me even more confident. I guess the remaining question is the reality that ME can... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus MillerCarbon, love the Woody Allen reference. Lot of truth there.Mulveling, you are gutsy the way you use ME. Yes I use only the white one.So many people use the liquid but quite a few warn against it. The warnings usually seem to be theoretical t... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus I already own a onzow but stopped using it after I tested it against the Magic Eraser using a USB microscope and realize the onzow how did not clean the needle at all it just seemed to remove dust. The Magic Eraser however appears to clean the sty... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e Yes I read your review. Very helpful do you (or does anyone) have knowledge about the merits of the 950 vs the 850?Reminder that I use the Koetsu Rosewood Signature and the compliance is rated at around 8-9 (5 by Japanese specs @100hz which I und... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e Thanks noromance. One thing I want to be cautious of when changing tone arms is I don't want to significantly change the tonal balance. Right now it is about perfect and so I was hoping staying with jelco brand would give me a very similar total b... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e I bought a used Koetsu Rosewood Signature for $1400 that I use with my Jelco 750e (10") and old star.sapphire and it is pretty amazing sounding. I have trouble envisioning how it could improve, with the exception of perhaps less groove/record nois... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e Yes I have no doubt, basednon your and others' comments, that the 850 would be a great upgrade. I am just wondering how much I would be missing by not going all the way to a FR arm. I kinda feel like I might get 80% of the benefit by going to the ... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e I haven't made a move on tonearms yet, and instead changed phono stages from my ear 834P to a Joule OPS-1. I had Rich at Signature Sound upgrade caps to Jupiter Copper/wax and he also improved power supply. My God what a fantastic component! I can... | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp I actually do have a manual I can scan and email if you still.want it. Old thread, I know. |
