| Path of signal from turn table to speaker it would seem then that the phonostage is likely more of what contributes to the sonic output and all its qualities rather than the amp (assuming the pathway is a separate phonostage connected to the amp analog in)?EVERY THING matters! Do not try ... | |
| Need copper speaker cable recommendations $300 ish I reflect on while reading this thread there is a wide variety of speaker cable DIY and many different speaker cable manufacturers.Feels like if we keep going on then we will end up with all the manufacturer there is. When we all buy from them or ... | |
| Now I get it... Congratulations.I have done the same thing resently. But in a much smaller scale. And it goes in waves.I have done most of the things I could do in the vinyl playback chain. And that is a lot over several years (!).I almost gave up. The magic were... | |

| Recommendations for fast sounding cables I made a pair of new power mono blocks. That included hardwired speaker cables into the amps. (So I can't guarantee if the sound is because of the speaker wire or the new amplifiers.)But immediately when I connected them I noticed that they were m... | |
| Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers? To "test drive speakers" I use:REW + calibrated UMIK-1 and play a frequency sweep @ 75 dB. (Maybe not a favourite "song")😂Repositioning speakers/listening position and then we know what the room boundaries and the weakness/strength that the combin... | |
| Don't like vinyl Vinyl is a inferior format. But it is fun to see if it possible to make it to sound decent. And it is intriguing to play when it never sounds the same each time. Unlike my CD records pressed from 1983 and onward, never have sounded better with new... | |
| I finally get it! A arc protractor is free. As downloaded SW and you put in your specific TT S2P distance.And you chose what mathematical equation that you want (Löfgren A/B, Bergwall or ..)Print it out, check distance of the printed result to ensure it is in scale... | |
| I finally get it! Exactly that I am trying to say.Excellent idea to move the pivot point instead. So the spindle to pivot length is nothing to OCD about. The just make sure that we can hit both of the points on a arc protractor without moving the protractor or turn... | |
| I finally get it! Maybe I am naive or maybe someone could explain to me what the SONIC difference is between -1mm and +1mm S2P difference?If there is enough space/play in length of the slotted head shell cart mount hole.So you are able to get desired overhang and h... | |
| Tube versus SS @orpheus10 I am not so often here. But I am baffled how much some fellow audiophiles is trying to shoot you down by indirectly saying that what you hear and experience is something else.🙄Nobody can be happy and share your good experience with you,... | |
| Does altitude change the sound of speakers?? Yes we have the same problem with motorcycles when we are at the track.The track owner have on him strict requirements on max dB of noise our motorcycles are allowed to make.The track is of course in a fixed location but the dB measurements readin... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? Hmm, nobody took a note of the posted link in this thread. That explains why bi-wire works and the science behind it. With measurements, graphs and all. Rather clever test track and method they have composed to use to be able to measure and show t... | |
| power cord directionality Yes, you can't turn a power cord backwards. And you should never be able to do that (Imagen two male ends and one is in the wall and the other end is becoming deadly..)When you build a power cord then if it has a screen. You may connect the screen... |
