| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Andrew:"The most clear and obvious differences were bass response, transparency/detail and sound staging."Add midrange clarity and HF extension and that just about covers it I guess! Anyway, did Raul say what he thought one would eventually cost i... | |
| What well known MC cartridges can use a MM pre?? I think Dopogue has it basically right, but since the M3A has only 28dB of phono section gain, I would raise the limit to 1.5mV or higher ;--)The thing about the very high output MC carts. like the Blackbird and van den Hul TWO, is that they are d... | |
| Cleaning Amplifier & other gears perfectdrug83, if you're referring to a product like Caig deOxit, yes that's great stuff.. | |
| Your music system is an instrument. Thanks Boa2, as a Sonicare owner/user, you made my day ;--) I just wish you were here to clean up the coffee I sprayed all over my keyboard!. | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Thanks all.Neil. | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description I have a question about this mono-LP/azimuth adjusting technique:Do you set the preamp's mono/stereo selector switch to 'mono', or do you leave it on 'stereo' when making your adjustments?. | |
| Goldmund on recent TT designs . . . . . Ketchup, go to the other links I just posted, they have a lot more info on the Ref. 2 itself (incl. pictures and drawings.)It looks like Goldmund is also bringing out a reasonably priced (<$4500) brand new phono preamp, the Mimesis PH7.3. | |
| Goldmund on recent TT designs . . . . . There is actually quite a bit of info about the new Reference 2 TT on the Goldmund site. First, go to their April and Oct. (2006) "News" pages:http://www.goldmund.com/news/2006/04/andhttp://www.goldmund.com/news/2006/10/The second article has a pi... | |
| Thanksgiving to THOMAS EDISON Yes, I know Tesla was basically ACs creator, but wasn't it Westinghouse who won the AC/DC war in this country (against Edison) and made AC the standard here? I'm pretty sure that was the story. I'll double check later.. | |
| Thanksgiving to THOMAS EDISON Wasn't Edison pushing DC? Cheers to Mr. Westinghouse!. | |
| panel speaker help If only the speaker you described existed! I agree that planar magnetic speakers (basically, Magnepan) don't have quite the transients of an electrostat (although the 3.6 and 20.1 have true ribbon tweeters -- you don't like those?)You don't like h... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? The main advantage is better signal to noise ratio and secondarily, better frequency response (because the groove wiggles are stretched over a longer length of groove.)The downside is that there is much less playing time per side (which is the ans... | |
| whats the best styus cleaner gel Use the ME dry. I follow that with the Zerodust just to pick up any ME dust. If your records are basically clean, you shouldn't need to use the ME except maybe every ten sides, if that. You can always check the stylus with a pocket scope if you wa... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Look, Racer, I'll go out on a limb and repeat myself:1.) Forget a regenerator. You don't need one with good ded circuits and good utility service. Plug your amp into the (20A) wall.2.) Forget power conditioners. Old technology. If you don't believ... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Tim, you're right that was my point. |
