| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 That’s funny. Go to ASR to see how it sounds. Especially for speakers. | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? I’m a cable skeptic. Especially speaker cables. As long as they aren’t 20 gauge or something like that. But I am open minded. It could be that I just don’t know any better. That happened once before. Just once though. I also suspect that most of ... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App Speaking of environmental noise coming through. What about using those rare earth magnets to levitate the turntable. Maybe use rubber bands to keep it in place. I just might try it. Sounds like a fun experiment. | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App Hmmm terry, 45 kg is ...... like only 99 pounds, not even a hundred. Watt? 1.8? Wow. So on my Music Hall with the I think like a DC synch 4 watt motor I can do a 90 kg platter. That's a lot of 4 oz fishing weights I have to glue on. I b... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** Enjoy your new speakers Oblgny. I have an old pair of the MMGs in storage. They started to delaminate that I fixed and a foil broke that I somehow repaired by soldering a wire across and holes were drilled into the wood edges so I could mount th... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity I’m about ready to try the brush sweeper grounding arm thingy as suggested by mijostyn. I was thinking it’s just more stuff to bother with, but as it is my routine is .... take out the record...it always has electric potential as judged by the se... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App @kevemaher You said some belt drives need a long time to settle. Is that because of the "rubber banding effect" of the belt stretching on start up? | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App ..and then there is flutter. Which I guess is just faster wow. Maybe the DD turntables have more of that? How do you measure that one and maybe it's more important then wow? Great. Now with an app we can be even more OCD about listening to... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App Just did another platter comparison. This time between an acrylic one which weighs about 2.4 and my modded steel 3.4 pound platter. The sigma for the acrylic was 0.14 and the steel was 0.11. Science!! I think I'll be returning the acrylic o... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App I can’t see how a small off center mass would alter the wow and flutter.... if the platter is level. But like "animal" above I also use a small plastic bowl over the spindle so the phone can be centered. The app I’m using is called RPM speed and ... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? For it to be really good it has to be expensive right? My current phono stage, a Schitt Mani, sounds great to me but it's so cheap that I keep thinking there must be something better because it's so cheap, but I'm not finding it. If it were pr... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** Sorry not what you want to hear but yes the LRS sound great but need lots of power. I have bi-amped Audiosource Amp Three amps putting out 200 watts into 4 ohms and they still get hot. I have thermoregulated fan units for them. I blew up an old ... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Pardon me if this has already been mentioned but... One way to gauge the static charge on records is this: Take the record to the bathroom. Yes you read that right, the bathroom. Unroll 12.337 inches of the toilet paper from the roll. It must ... |
