| Great budget phono cable needed This out to do the trick for now:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablintr&1164335675. | |
| Review: Sony MDR-7506 Professional Headphones Tweak If the 7506 is differently constructed than the V6, no one (including SONY) has ever said what the differences are. For Beyer products in Australia, these people should be able to help:Audio TelexConference & Presentation, Music & Performa... | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc Tim, whether or not one agrees with the science/theory, the undisputable fact is that if you don't connect all the wire strands together electrically at each end of the cable, then you are not using its full conducting capability.. | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc The reason for the insulated multi-strand wire design (some with a teflon or nylon rod at the core) has to do with solving time smear, and began with Bruce Brisson's (owner of MIT) original design for Monster Cable. The cables consist of two or mo... | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc Tim, you will need a high temperature solder pot (full of silver solder) to properly prepare that kind of wire for termination (it vaporizes the enamel insulation and solders all the strands together all at once.)My recommendation is that you send... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Musicaudio, in defense of Mike Lavigne, I really don't think there's anything negative about urging people to "have fun" ;--) Nor did I get the idea he was suggesting we not care what others think, only that he didn't anymore.I believe your intere... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? It's really a philosophical difference. I describe the differences below without making a case for either one (I hope!)In analog, the soundwaves are literally captured in the groove "verbatim" so to speak. And they need only be gotten back into th... | |
| Class D Amps - FM reception Interestingly, no one except Vic said anything about the antennae they're using. And he has a directional yagi that's well away from his locally generated rfi. So if you're using a dipole FM antenna in the same room as your digital gear, what do y... | |
| Cleaning Amplifier & other gears Thorman's recommendation actually has a scientific basis -- which has to do with the small amount of skin oil contained in his bath towel, which provides a microscopic layer of "gloss".A little better technique, is to get a towel or clean rag, soa... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Andrew,I think you may have my comment about 47Kohm loading and negative SRA backwards. Let me explain it this way: If you have a MC cartridge at the correct SRA (stylus nicely locked into the forward-slanting groove undulations) and you set the l... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Doug, as a matter of fact, yes you do need some other (actually slightly different) tools. Loupes are out. Not strong enough and in any case too bulky to get their optics right in where you need them to be.The 100x (pocket?) microscope is too stro... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Now now Doug, let's not get testy ;--) I never upstaged Mr. Risch, not that there's anything "pioneering" about his his method, or mine for that matter. Both are pretty much intuitively obvious to anyone with a mechanical bent. I simply offered a ... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Doug:Neil. I haven't checked other TriPlanars, but on this one a slightly tail down arm results in a parallel cartridgeThen I think you should send the whole TA back to Tri and have him check the headshell alignment. Something wrong with either th... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Dan, as I've already said, I'd really love to hear a UNI if there's anyone in Tucson or Phoenix who has one? Decently set up? Please, invite me over?I still intend to listen (with my Temper W) to the critical passages Doug identified on the Trio a... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Dear raul: I agree with you too: there are no bad cartridges. Only voodoo science and pretzel logic ;--)Neil. |
