| Reducing screen voltage 7591A's Um.... yeah, but not what you might think. You can’t just replace the cathode resistor with a big high wattage pot. Have a look here. And for more info in general here.I need to clarify the above posts. On my initial reading, I just assumed you we... | |
| Reducing screen voltage 7591A's As it’s just the screen voltage, there should be no sag. You might look at reducing the main B+ though using 7 watt 100R etc. resistors in the secondary legs of the power transformer. You should also strongly consider using an adjustable negative ... | |
| Reducing screen voltage 7591A's What’s with the 7591?To get the resistance value or the dropper resistor, measure the approximate current in amps in the B+ supply and divide it into the voltage you want to drop. (V/I = R). Then to get the wattage of the resistor, multiply the vo... | |
| Vinyl turntable mat? Millercarbon, have you heard the detail in an ASMR recording? Or a school brass band with a drum kit playing in a marble-floored hall? Pretty dang detailed! | |
| replacing tonearm question? If you are going the Jelco route, get the 850. It is far better for not much more money. | |
| Turntable/Subwoofer Ground loop If you are not using a 3 wire speakon cable, make sure not to use two negatives on the high-level input. From speakers: Red and black on left speaker. Red on right. | |
| what is value of cartridge and stylus Not much. $20-$100.https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=ortofon+tm | |
| Help me decide between these two turntable/cartridge combinations How will you get the EAT clamp on and off with 5" to play with?! | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Late to the party. The Barodin Symphony No.2 shootout. First off, your system sounds great especially with my upgraded subwoofer. Second, the Sony really does excel. I listened to the LDR first and it sounded good but the subdued triangle near th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Current 93 - Thunder Perfect MindProbably the best album ever made. | |
| Turntable cost:benefit What Dan said. My AudioGrail 401 in a slate plinth with a new steel idler, new heavier platter, and oversize bearing cost about $4200 (+ 2 tonearms) and would trash that SME for less than a quarter of their asking price. To answer your question on... | |
| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? @nonoise Am I missing a reference to John Hobbes, or do you mean Hobson's choice? | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Wouldn't the multiple magnetic fields impact the stream of musical electron things? | |

| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? Sometimes even old forgotten theories eg Flat Earth, can attempt a comeback!That's a hypothesis. A theory is correct until proven otherwise. |
