| Great bass from a linear tracking arm? Joperfi, please read Rushton and my post at the start of this thread. With linear arms, cartridge weight and compliance are (somewhat) more critical than with pivoting arms.Or to put it another way, if you have a cartridge you love, you can always... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and power conditioning What do you mean by "the AC adaptors"? and to better answer you question, what kind of stats do you have?. | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" I still think it's all about foreplay. Go back and read this hilarious example. (Thanks Boa2)http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/brian/brian-14.htm. | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Since so many of my Agon friends are linked to this thread, rather than e-mailing you individually, I'm going to direct you to this Agon thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1166674230&openfrom&1&4#1where you can li... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Doug's and Andrew's comments highlight my reason for advising folks to break in their cartridges slightly above (like .2 or .25 gms above) the high end of the specified VTF range:That way the suspension will be flexed enough so you can be sure it ... | |
| Suggestions for a conditioner/surge protector? Vman, honestly, I don't think you need an EP-15A (regenerator.) Just plug your amp(s) into the wall and get a balanced unit like a BPT, Equi=Tech, or Exactpower SP-15A for the front end stuff on the other circuit. That should do it.. | |
| Suggestions for a conditioner/surge protector? Vman, I can't debate your results. However, technically speaking, all a conditioner can do is filter out certain kinds of noise. It can also smooth out voltage spikes or, if they're too big, try and clamp them before they destroy your equipment (h... | |
| Cartridge alignment - Goldmund T5 tangential arm ? Thanks Albert, as you know, I was once a young photog. Now I'm neither young nor a photog. In fact, I'm considering letting audio go as well -- reluctantly -- but I have seen too many beautiful systems fall into disuse and disrepair by their aging... | |
| Cartridge alignment - Goldmund T5 tangential arm ? So you did. | |
| Pass Labs vs. Cary I can't understand why everyone with Summits doesn't use a (carefully selected*) tube amp with them. It's the best of both worlds and has the advantages of biamping without all the extra electronics: SS (built-in) for the bass, and tubes for the s... | |
| SME III help needed If someone here can't help you, email your question to:info@sme.ltd.ukand they'll get right back to you.. | |
| Cartridge alignment - Goldmund T5 tangential arm ? OK Albert. We're talking about two different things. You are talking about how to ADJUST the overhang, and I'm talking about the AMOUNT of overhang which, in the case of tangential arms, is zero.I'm not sure exactly what dbamac meant saying "I'd r... | |
| Mark Levinson suggestion please It just goes to show ya; one of the things I like best about my system is the realistic and detailed soundstage -- whether it's a jazz combo or an orchestra. I don't know if it's the 23.5 amp or just the way the whole system is assembled, but it's... | |
| Cartridge alignment - Goldmund T5 tangential arm ? Albert, when you said:"For tangential arms like yours, overhang is achieved when the stylus is set exactly on "that" line all the way across the record."I presume it was with the understanding that you meant no overhang.In my three different tange... | |
| Subwoofer with XLR I/O The Martin Logan Descent has a LFE input (Low Frequency Effects) with either an XLR or RCA connection available. All the other ins/outs are RCA. You can see a copy of the Owner's manual showing these connections on the ML website.. |
