| Cartridge Impedence oops, my mistake - atmasphere was referring specifically to the intrinsic impedance of the cartridge and not the loading impedance at the phono stage. for a mc cartridge at least, the intrinsic impedance of the cartridge is relatively small (i don... | |
| Cartridge Impedence 02-25-11: AtmasphereThe impedance of the cartridge has nothing to do with its sound.this statement is not true. what happens is that the cartridge, tone arm cable and phono stage input form an RLC filter which can have a resonant frequency in the ... | |
| Preamp gain ??? 02-21-11: SwampwalkerPaperw*- Nothing that you have said is incorrect but you have neglected the attenuation/gain (if active) provided by the pre-amp, which then is added to the gain of the amp. That can result in excessive overall system gain whi... | |
| Preamp gain ??? i would say this: i think it unnecessarily complicates the problem is you are trying to solve amplifer-speaker interface problems at the preamplifer. it is more manageable to decompose the problem; with regard to the preamplifier the focus should ... | |
| Preamp gain ??? this is the second preamplifier gain thread that has popped up in recent days...it seems to me that preamplifier gain is generally irrelevant: what i would think should matter to you is what is the input sensitivity of the preamplifier, what is th... | |

| Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter? 02-09-11: Robob"In the '70s, a 4-to-5 lb. platter was considered a heavy platter. "Considered heavy by who? Certainly not any of the dealers or audiophiles I hung out with.i used to have a dual turntable, which was a fairly popular, and reasonably... | |
| Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter? 02-09-11: Nick_srAs a former club dj and as current employee for one of the worlds largest aluminum companies here is my two cents worth.First regarding DJs and direct drive tables when you are a club dj you want to be able to cue up the record an... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 and CS2.4 comparisons? 02-07-11: James63Anyway I am done shopping for now and will look again when I have a bigger house. I will most likely move up to the 3.7 (or go for broke with a good deal on something used), it sounded a lot like the 2.4 but with more bass, a more... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? 02-09-11: RaymondaPaperw8, your statement is overly simplified, off the mark and just plan wrong.maybe the following report will clarify your understanding:http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.htmlnote the following comments foll... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? 02-09-11: CkoffendTo say trickle down economics hasn't worked in the US is a bit naive. The perfect example that it has worked is by looking at the poor in our country - those that get by and plan to live off the government. These, the poorest of ... |
