| Compliance of a First Generation Kiseki Blackheart I did install the Kiseki this afternoon, and got the set up set. Of course I need a bit of fine tuning of tracking weight and VTA. But the initial impressions are very positive, I think this cartridge is going to stay on this table. A very nice pr... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At I listened to 100 HZ as crossover and found the presentation to bee too forward and sometimes a bit hard. I then ran another sweep for 90Hz, and that one is below the threshold. So at this point I am going to listen to 80 Hz and 90 Hz and see whic... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At I listened to 80 Hz as the crossover point last night. Undoubtedly a better choice. Improved focus, soundstage expanded, most noticeably in terms of front to back depth. Immediacy and definition of singers and instruments has increased. No reducti... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @mijostyn So this afternoon after work I hooked up the mic and ran calibrations with crossover points of 80 and 100 Hz. I have 58 Hz saved in slots 1-5, 80 Hz at 6-10, and 100 Hz at 11-15. Over the weekend I can listen and compare both config... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @mijostyn The Amethyst can do 48 dB per octave. I have to read the manual to find that menu. Interesting point about diaphragm excursion and unintended effects. Very reasonable points. Next weekend I will experiment with higher crossover po... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @rauliruegas The thing to remember is the NATURE of the bass. Planar open baffle style bass is different in terms of attack, harmonics, and decay than conventional woofers. Even if they are in sealed boxes and servo controlled. The higher you brin... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @lewm I don’t have the schematic to say at what stage the AD conversion occurs. Is it the first step, or does something else happen? So that is why I say at some point. We can say for sure that it occurs between before the output stage, and it me ... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @rauliruegas A pair of Velodyne HGS12 subwoofers are controlled by the Trinov program. Crossover point is set at 58Hz and the crossover is a 4th order Linkwitz-Riley. I have other crossover types available to me, such as various Bessel or Butterwo... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @tvrgeek It is all a balancing act, and its a cost versus reward analysis. I tune the room the best I can with acoustic panels and speaker and equipment stand location. Actually the room measures almost ruler flat from 200 Hz on up. Then I allows ... | |
| Thank You Fumihiko Sugano and Koetsu Can we present any links to this claim. I have searched and seen nothing that supports this. | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @lewm Yes I run the MC2000/T2000 into the MM input of the Esoteric E-03. This morning I decided to reinstall one of my Ortofon MC2000 cartridges. One has a factory tapered aluminum cantilever, and my other one met an unfortunate accident and had... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? So a quality 3rd party service provider like Expert Stylus is unable to retain the sole plate? | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? @mulveling Would you have a link to a closeup image of a Koetsu diamond mounting? | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Always Wondered how 2Juki can sell a Rosewood Signature Platinum for $3900 or a Blue Lace Platinum for $5880. With a 90 day warranty from the US distributor and a price 3X higher than a verified eBay seller I fail to see any incentive to buy from ... | |
| Bought A Vintage Kiseki This Weekend So I aligned the cartridge this afternoon. Getting a good sight on the grid with these Japanese style long bodies are tedious. Have played a few albums and it has met those quiet expectations you have when you buy a cartridge. Is a Kiseki all fai... |
