| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @johnfritter Interesting. I can't really imagine that combination of parts sounding good at all. | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? Either get the Hercules power board and DC motor kit and Ittok arm or save the effort and get a Technics SL1200G with Nagaoka MP500. | |
| The Popularity of the Kuzma 4P (11") There are now enough wealthy people willing to pay any amount for what they want. Until that cohort changes its purchasing behavior, vendors can charge what the market will bear. Look at how housing pricing has increased 20-50% almost overnight. I... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Here's a fun trick. Wrap a few turns of masking tape or PTFE tape around the glass part of a fuse making sure not to touch the end caps. Leave say, a 1mm space. Do a before and after test. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Apparently, MC hauled his entire rig to a show, to um, show it off. Stereophile | |
| Tannoy Westminster’s Audition? Congratulations. Kensingtons are my dream speaker. Beautifully proportioned and classic looks. Would look silly in the basement but someday I may move. | |
| MONO Cartridge Stylus Shape: WHAT? WHEN? Not sure if this helps. From Miyajima Labs. Stylus size of Zero MONO $2250 0.7mil is suitable for reissue monaural LP and a monaural LP of after 1960. 1.0mil is suitable for the monaural LP of a deep groove of the first press of the 1950s. How... | |
| How acoustic and some simple tweaks can cure audiophile disease for small pocket budget No worries. Thanks. | |
| Mono record sounds like stereo Get a 12" with a removable head-shell so you can easily swap cartridges. I'm not sure it matters which arm hosts the mono. Try both and report back. I have 12" and 9" arms on my main table. | |
| How acoustic and some simple tweaks can cure audiophile disease for small pocket budget @mahgister I was not being sarcastic whatsoever. Acoustic amplification and tuning audio quality by reflecting soundwaves is what you are doing. As I pointed out in my comment, it reminds me of the ear devices. In fact, I experimented with homemad... | |
| How acoustic and some simple tweaks can cure audiophile disease for small pocket budget @hilde45 That's sort of awesome! @mahgister The acoustics "tricks" remind me of ear cups. | |
| Making a Set of Mapleshade Jumper Cables for a Stacked ESL 57 Set Up @pindac Just saw this now. Thanks for your reply. I too lean more toward transparency, and run 57s with the grilles removed. Monoblocs under the speakers with 2’ of UP-OCC solid 14g. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. @pindac My plinth builder offers slate or Panzerholz between two aluminum plates. I’m tempted but an owner of one said it was a little softer and warmer than slate. Note that my turntable sits on 3" of maple which sits on the concrete blocks which... | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint Junk OSB and green ZIP tinderboxes vibrate and amplify inside and outside noise. Home construction is cheap and poor. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. @pindac Agreed. Concrete made all the difference for me. So much so that any other support or floor compromised the ultimate sound quality. ...method used to support the TT in the home environment are quite capable of impacting on the produced s... |
