| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Doug, I'll take that remark as a compliment? (unless informed otherwise.) Actually, this thread was partly inspired by the beautiful stylus pics you posted, plus people keep asking me how to do this. I know you adjust your SRA a lot, and I wish I ... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Sorry about the first pic URL. Just paste the whole thing into your browser. | |
| Power cable for a powered sub I like the "Silver Big One" from Aural Thrills. 10AWG, very good energy transfer, and usually goes on auction on AgoN for $140 - 160.Your hundred dollar budget will get you a 12 AWG cord, but if you want to do your sub justice, go for 10 AWG. | |
| Polite, Discreet Subwoofer The Martin Logan subs are really fast (the Entec's original claim to fame) and go really well with stats (duh!)I prefer the Depth. I think it has even better transient response than the Descent, and while still very punchy, is more, as you say, di... | |

| Ideal TT & Arm for the following top cartridges... With any of the four cartridges you mention, (I'm including the 47, though I really don't know it) you'll want to make accurate VTA/SRA settings and/or adjustments on a regular basis probably.That limits the choice of arms to either the Tri Planar... | |
| Does size really matter? :- David, it's really nice to see someone else who is willing to crunch the numbers and make comparisons. I haven't yet done it with styli the way you have.However, it has always been my understanding that the dimensional specicfications for styli pe... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? I think Shadorne's comment:"The home audio market may not be educated about the problems of noise or has never suffered significant noise problems "is important, because in discussing BAL vs. SE, it's the noise you can't hear (consciously) that co... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? Bigtee -- perfectly put! | |
| Best Amp Martin Logan Summit Electrostats love tubes (or was it the other way around?) And since these speakers (finally!) have their own ss bass amps, you are free to drive the panels by themselves with a quality tube amp. This is the way it always should have been. I don't ... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? Well, I read Mr. Mackie's article, and for starters, he apparently is unaware that "ground" in a SE circuit is "common ground" or "chassis ground" whereas "signal ground" in a BAL circuit is separate from the common/chassis ground, and therefore p... | |
| Looking For Single Source Tube Preamp Kevin, check out this thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1140553317&read&3&zzlCurriemt11&&It's a report of a CDP shootout that includes a modified Denon 5910. Their main criticism was some "graininess".Ima... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? Eldartford, when you have twice the signal, you can run the device with half the gain. That lowers the noise floor considerably. As for the ICs themselves, it's not so much that they resist noise pick-up any better than a SE IC. It's just that the... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? "Assuming fully balanced equipment"That's the key right there. If the equipment (but principally the amp and preamp) has fully balanced circuit topology, then 'yes" balanced is better -- and for all the reasons you mention, and one other very impo... | |
| Looking For Single Source Tube Preamp Well, I don't know . . . . . . You have a very nice system and an intelligent way of configuring it. I don't think your (occasional?) problem is a "tube vs. no-tube" thing, otherwise it wouldn't be occasional, it would be all the time.I'd look els... |
