| What is turntable “liveliness”. Does a unmodulated groove or blank record make noise? Yes. It makes far more noise than any bearings on a decent turntable. In fact sounds like bearing noise. Or the ocean. The vinyl is never perfect. Then, is the album perfectly concentric? Is th... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. Turntables have no sound. If they do there is something wrong with it. If the definition of "turntable" includes the tone arm and cartridge then yes. To be fair I think that is what the OP is talking about and I’m just being argumentative as usual... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. So assuming a turntable has low noise and decent speed control, how can it sound any different than another with similarly low noise and speed control? Using the same tonearms and carts of course. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. No such thing. It's an old wive's tale. Or worse an audiomyth. Turntables don't matter much. It's the cartridge. and the tonearm. Try a different cartridge. Or tonearm. Turntable sound might be the biggest money-hole crock in all of aud... | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... Well no way I'm spending that much on something that just does ones and zeros so I'm going over to ASR and feel better. | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red Maybe the driver has a bad back. Next time you see him kick him in the nuts and take his mind off of it. Actually you should thank him as this will reduce the break-in time. | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? Does this sound about right ? Cheap DACs sound 85% as good as vinyl and expensive ones sound 90% as good as vinyl. If so what DACs are they using to cut the vinyls with? | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Is this proof that all DACs sound the same inadequate way and in the fruitless pursuit of one that sounds as good as vinyl people will go to ridiculous lengths and still never equal vinyl? Asking for a friend. 😊 | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Ultrasonic cleaning is manic OCD overkill and a waste of psychological energy, time and money plus it sounds like crap while it's running. Just say no to all of that. It's absurd. Unless you are selling them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/produ... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? I've been getting redirects to a Mc Affee scam site saying my subscription has run out. It's only on this site. | |
| Turntable Thrumming My guess is that is normal motor noise. It stops when you stop the motor. And with the lid up it’s resonating and amplifying that hum. It would do that less with the dust cover down which is where they should be while playing IMO. It’s why I mov... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question @ahuvia ossicle2brain writes that I am “not open to doing the work.” I didn’t write that. Just to set the record straight. I can only speak about how lazy I am, which is very. :) ****************** The flip switch concept is interesti... | |
| Turntable Thrumming Welcome aboard John. Have you tried turning off the motor and seeing if it stops? Getting a test record really helps with this stuff. It will have a track of unmodulated grooves that's made just for checking stuff like this. It could be the mo... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question It’s so easy to set up a double pole double throw manual knife switch with the two cables being compared. If I was an honest non-snake oil cable manufacturer and wanted to get super wealthy from selling a great cable I would set up some good blin... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question @thyname Yes you did offend me. When someone calls someone else’s thoughtful well written post "raging" I think it’s stupid and that offends me. And you do this kind of thing regularly, you did it to me early on when I first joined. You are... |
