best phono stage under 10k
I had a tube RIAA sold it because of hum and other noise. Afterwards I noticed that my TT cables induced the notice (no shielding). So that was a waste preamplifier switch...So make sure that your TT interconnects and tone arm wires (the material ... 
So What Is Real?
emailistsWhat is the best threads in your opinion? Today it may be a new album, TT, DAC or speaker. It may vary what our interest are for the moment? This topic is broad almost every item need a cable of some sort. And there is only a fraction tha... 
So What Is Real?
That strikes me that the cable believers they are that because they have heard the difference.The cable nay sayers have not heard the difference in cables.Both are right but why?I have been in countless of hi-fi shows there I have attended cable d... 
Frustrated with Vinly
There is only 2-3 reasons to play vinyl:If you already have a big collection Sometimes LP mastering has lower loudness than any of the digital versionsSome albums you can not find on other formatsOtherwise a LP is a continuous analogue wave. That ... 
Measuring turntable speed
Good to know. Thanks! 
Measuring turntable speed
Optimize, I know of no turntable were you can adjust wow and flutter. I know a bunch were you can adjust the speed. Thus a device measuring 3150 times a second is no more useful in adjusting speed than one measuring every revolution. It is revolut... 
Measuring turntable speed
Is your graph more accurate than a wow and flutter meter??? Been playing with a test record and wow and flutter app lately.Thanks TomDo you mean a meter like this?https://youtu.be/0G2kU1e9CpoI think that we may not need more accuracy or what to ... 
Measuring turntable speed
Fun gear!So you put one reflective strip on the edge of the platter. And you lay the device down so you don't hold it (movement of holding it introduces in its own fluctuations).But if we stop and think about it a second.Manufacturer of TT measure... 
Measuring turntable speed
https://i.imgur.com/Lo0LYl1.jpg This is good enough for me and the DIN standardisation. 3150 complete sine waves in one second. Is more than a strobe disc can ever do. And the lack of the high granularity we can not get the speed variation either.... 
Measuring turntable speed
All the strobe things is what they are. But it lacks the resolution 3150 Hz (number/second) of  and the industry standard of DIN IEC 386 (formerly DIN 45507).Like the "Feickert Platter speed" app.I it is not in android app store (or Apple store). ... 
Watts and power
Thanks all for your explanation of power and current!Interesting link there with voltage/power paradigm. 😀 
Watts and power
Thank you for your reply @audiozenologyOptimize,P = v * IP = v^2 / RP = i^2 * RIf you know P and R, then you can calculate I and V.But I could not really wrap my head around WHY the correct formulas could work to calculate I and V on a amplifier o...

Optimize, yes we do know what you are asking if say they give a spec into 8, 4 and 2 ohms which many do..No they do not.No manufacturer what I have seen have been given what ampere (current) spec into 8, 4 and 2 ohms.Only wattage and maybe the dis... 
GR Research NX-Otica and Servo OB Subs
@jaytor Yes I am lucky with the placement options in my upcoming man cave.I plan to pair those bass with the RP-600m (Waiting for a complete set of point to point cross over kit for them)As I understand it it is a fast distinct and more "truthful"... 
Watts and power
I am so tired on insufficient information from the manufacturers..They only tell us power in wattage (in one or another way).From school it is amps multiplying with voltage gives wattage.Where we consumer only have wattage then we can not know muc...
