| Tranfiguration Orpheus description In Doug's system, Paul felt the VTA for the O was just right when the tonearm was moderately lower than parallel. Similar position used for the Universe.Oh really? I wonder what Nakatsuka-san would think of a customer who thought him such a sloppy... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Before entering THIS fray, I'll get out my Trio and Sonic Fireworks Albums and listen to them with my lowly Temper W for the qualities Doug describes. In the meantime, and apropos of Doug's stratospheric hearing specs, I ran across this site from ... | |
| Serious hum problem. Help Bd -- forgive me, I failed to mention the cheap fix (i.e. any kind of 75 ohm isolation transformer, homemade or commercial) doesn't pass digital cable signals.I knew that, just forgot to say so. I don't know how the new isolator units work or if t... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Audiofeil - while you were "thinking out loud," you might have listed the the contents of your system along with any other (cartridges) you've owned/heard, thus giving the rest of us an opportunity to assess your cred. As it stands, your comments ... | |
| Serious hum problem. Help Bd -- that's the cheapest one I've seen so far -- good show!!BTW - no matter what isolkator you use, make sure to ground the antenna or cable company side of the isolator to a good ground. | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Andrew, thanks for the report (so far.) I think you'll find that when fully broken in (125-150 hrs) you'll be able to lower the load on the O to a more permanent setting of 55 - 65 ohms while maintaining all the highs and picking up even more bass... | |
| Tuntable not working with wood floors..Help If it's an old house, the ceiling will bounce too, and it's Ugly, Ugly, Ulgly !!! Plus the TT will sway when you use it unless you add horizontal guy wires or post tension wires down to the floor -- more Ugly!! So forget that.Elizabeth's shoring s... | |
| best tonearm for Kondo IO-J cart. It's a fairly low compliance cart. (10 x 10 to -6cm/dyne) and so would normally require a high effective mass arm. However, since the cartridge itself weighs 11 gms (kind of high-ish, especially when you add the mounting hardware which is about 2 ... | |
| Kill Top End Extension - All Silver Ribbon Cables In addition to all the foregoing comments, it seems to me that silver (and silver alloy) cabling tends to accentuate the high frequencies. So if anything, your cables are adding to the HF extension, not detracting from it. Must be something else.E... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Doug, you have GREAT hearing! When will you be turning thirty? | |
| Arm and MC transformer to match ZYX Air3 cartridge Stltrains, I think Dan put it best:"Even the very best of transformers cannot faithfully induce the entire signal from the input coil to the output coil."A step-up xfmr is not just a "coil of wire". It is an inductor with an iron core which produc... | |
| Arm and MC transformer to match ZYX Air3 cartridge Eric, which Airy are you getting the L (.24mV) or the H (.48mV)?Also remember, ZYX is one of a few manufacturers that spec their carts using the JVC test record. So when considering whether various phono preamps have enough gain, you need to conve... | |
| Arm and MC transformer to match ZYX Air3 cartridge In this day and age of truly magnificent high gain, low noise phono preamplifiers, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to compromise the ultra-refined performance of an expensive low output MC cartridge by running its outpu... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Andrew -- I'd love to be an audiophile fly on the wall at that pow wow. Better not say anything about it to Mehran @ Sorasound just yet ;--)Speedy, RE the 47 ohm setting for the O: from all my polling of folks with Trannies (not yet the O of cours... | |
| Best Amp for my Pipedreams and ML 32 Thanks Beemer, for adding another voice of reason. If Michauyuen will follow your example, I'm sure he'll have no complaints (even if he keeps his Krell on the bottom ;--). |
