| Cables to settle brightness The best cable to settle brightness is a grounding cable to your speaker drivers. | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube Some cable are indeed better than others. It's all about the quality of the shielding and the quality of the wires. Take USB for example; the data certainly needs to be shielded from the power. | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube I consider Youtube reviews to be irrelevant opinionated egotistical jackass garbage. I prefer Amir and online magazines although I still take them with a grain of salt. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO Surely the difference in response time (if there is any) would be so insignificant to make it irrelevant. Maybe be so with antiquated drivers. | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? I don't often put much credence in Amir, but he found there was no benefit to upscaling. | |
| Direct Drive @terry9 Thanks for your thoughts. I've been thinking about tone arms with azimuth adjustment as I believe the stylus' axis needs to be perpendicular to the record even if it means the head shell is not at all parallel to the record. | |
| Direct Drive A local dealer dealer just mentioned the Fender x MoFi PrecisionDeck Limited Edition Turntable is in stock. For looks alone Fender's iconic Sunburst is truly amazing. Differences between turntables often comes down to the cartridge. In this cas... | |
| Direct Drive Where do I get 3 phase when my house is only single phase? Surely AC motors are asking for trouble. | |
| Power cords or power conditioner They are entirely different and they both serve useful purposes. A conditioner makes certain the power is as clean as possible. Power cords are shielded to reduce contamination of equipment that results from AC emissions. | |
| Direct Drive terry9 Yes, tangential tonearms sound better. But they are a higher end thing, and you probably won't hear the benefits until you're spending a fair bit. How handy are you? It's not hard to make a DIY belt drive table that will be far bet... | |
| Direct Drive asvjerry ...and the master is cut with a tangential arm, but that will only trigger another fusillsade from the trenches that surround you... ;) Do tangential playback arms sound any better? A search found Clearaudio CAU-TP062... | |
| Direct Drive WHO CARES DD or Belt it's about the music. Of course it's about the music, but naturally the sound quality is critical. | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? It was easier with vinyl, as non of that extra multi-$1k increments were needed. No power conditioners Maybe turntables don't need power conditioners per se, even if preamps and amps do, although they are certainly best with ripple free DC ... | |
| Speaker Placement and Toe-In Dali doesn't recommend any toe in and so far I'd have to agree. The fact that there is no on axis sweet spot is fantastic. | |
| Help fine-tune my speaker search There's a lot that can be done to improve off the shelf speakers. The old favourite; better crossover components. Grounding the housing, front and rear plates of each driver. Imperative, non debatable. Lining all internal surfaces including r... |
