| Tonearm cable cost no object According to their website, the Fascination, Expression, and Emotion lines offer DIN tonearm cables. Although it would be nice if they offered one in their top-rated Elation model (you should call and ask why not) but to me, the sonic synergy prov... | |
| Jack White's Streaming Vinyl Honest1, of course we all know that; however I read nothing indicating the reporter understood the difference. And I hope, when Mr. White said Were trying to marry the two worlds," he was referring to the event itself, and not to vinyl pressings... | |
| Jack White's Streaming Vinyl I admire his intent, howeve, Jack Whites idea of streaming live analog music is to take analog picture and sound, digitize it, and then send it out via the internet and through the digital sound card in your computer. Did I really need this suppo... | |
| acoustic zen reference or venustas Between them John and Jim raise two important issues. One is where in the system are the cable(s). And second, your own musical tastes/preferences.I'd like to introduce two more: One has to do with the "where in the system" question. I think the a... | |
| Turntable speed slow with quartz lock Kirkus, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think what you meant to ask is: "Are both turntables running slow by exactly the same amount?" ;--)If the answer is "yes" (I'm guessing) it would point to both units being run with (or set to?) the wrong volt... | |
| How low is a piano? Supposedly, the two hardest things to record are piano and human voice -- not because of frequency range, but because they have wider dynamics (soft-to-loud) than all other sources. Anyone else ever hear this? | |
| Cable lifters/towers- voodoo or the real thing? Afc, OK your problem (if you have one) is mechanical vibration, and not electrical inductance. Standard wood frame construction which meets the building codes, can vibrate a speaker cable lying directly upon the floor or even on carpet. Vibration ... | |
| Cable lifters/towers- voodoo or the real thing? If you have carpet etc they work BIG TIME!!And what kind of floor construction is under your carpet? And what exactly do you mean by "work BIG TIME"? What do they do, or what problems do they eliminate; and what kind of cables are you referring to... | |
| Cable lifters/towers- voodoo or the real thing? Afc, you never said what kind of floor construction in your listening room, but speaker cables are the most vulnerable to both mechanical vibration (wood framing over a crawl space) and ground inductance (reinforced concrete slab, either on dirt o... | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes Any tube can go bad any time -- this is not hot news. However, vacuum tubes were once the ONLY electronic valve available -- and for the most part delivered service with the same reliability as transistors -- and, believe it or not, often the same... | |
| Any Well-Recorded Trance Out There? Rrolack, Listened to "Hold You" on You Tube.I think I get it now. Trance is like head-banger music for people who don't want to suffer any permanent damage? ;--)While Ambient music is acid--tripping without the acid. | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Seals,The later (and better) model Studios and Studiettos, use a JVC PLL quartz-controlled motor. The other makes that T_bone mentions are every bit as good as the Goldmunds.I bought my Studietto (20 yrs. ago!) because I like Swiss industrial desi... | |
| Any Well-Recorded Trance Out There? You seem like you could tell me the difference between *ambient* music (like that on the Hearts of Space broadcasts and website) and 'trance' music. Thanks.Neil. | |
| Cable lifters/towers- voodoo or the real thing? I asked because it's the floor *construction* that determines if and what kind of lifters/isolators you might need.In a floor like yours, inductive interaction from laying on (or very close to, even if there's a carpet) a grounded surface like a r... | |
| Cable lifters/towers- voodoo or the real thing? Digsmithd, I wasn't enquiring about the floor finish (the carpet;--), I was enquiring about the floor construction -- what's under the carpet?Concrete slab-on-grade (dirt), or concrete slab in a highrise bldg., ORwood joists over a crawl space or ... |
