| Computer comparison I can't comment specifically about the models you mention, but typically pro-audio designed computers have quieter components (fans & hard drives) plus added connectivity (firewire/USB ports, card slots, etc.) when compared to generic computer... | |
| TT/Tonearm/cartridge interaction theory? It's really quite simple. You have a stick. At one end is a rock and at the other end is a magnet. The stick is physically held in place such that movement at the rock end is mirrored at the magnet end (think of a see-saw). Additionally, the magne... | |

| Best player for Poorly Recorded redbook CDs? If the problem with the CDs is frequency balance, then the EQ suggetion is an excellent idea, but if the problem is over compression/limiting, then there is no corrective solution. You'll just have to train yourself to focus on the music, not the ... | |
| Cartridge Break-In Nsgarch, where are you getting your recommendation for cartridge loading? I've never read anywhere using 25x the internal impedance as the recommended loading. The most common figure I see quoted is 10x, but I've also seen from 2.5x to 20x. | |

| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? But even if a speaker can do a good step response it doesn't mean the speaker will sound accurate in a typical listening room. It's a lot more complex than you're making it out to be. | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? One of the issues Audiokinesis brings up is if a speaker is phase/time accurate, but there is a difference between the on axis and off axis frequency response, then the in-room tonal balance will be compromised and the speaker will sound artificia... | |
| Cartridge Break-In Only have limited number of choices on cartridge loading (30, 100, 400, 47k). The distributor says 1k to 47k. Dealer recommended the settings I'm using as a starting point. | |
| Cartridge Break-In Thomasheisig, explain in detail how you used the AT stylus cleaner. I have an equivalent model from D&K. I'm be concerned about the stylus vibrating off the pad. | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? Yes harmonic accuracy and correct timbre are important, but it's up to the individual listener to determine if they are the end all and be all of audio reproduction. Sometimes and in some situations other reproduction factors can be more important... | |
| Cartridge Break-In All I'm trying to figure out is if there is a quicker way to get through the break-in process. For mechanical objects break-in is a very real process, but then again I've talked to people who have had success with motor engines who rev it to redli... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews I don't get it. One of the most common comments about Stereophile is that advertisers get great reviews and other perks. We now have an advertiser saying he didn't get any perks from Stereophile at the RMAF and people use that as a point to furthe... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Lrsky, you paid your money and they ran your ads. Unless they lied about their circulation you got exactly what you paid for. It would seem to me that anything beyond running the ads as promised would be unethical. I don't understand why you're up... |
