| Benz Micro M2 loading other way around. read my post again. Increasing the load means decreasing the load impedance. Your heard your dealer correctly. | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Crem,sorry to be out o touch. I'm on the road and not near internet. The suggestion was to fill the existing air bearing tube with snug fitting balsa. Using wood for the bearing is not an option due to tolerance issues. | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice The reason for using Balsa is to keep the overall weight low. Bear this in mind when choosing an alternate material. Perhaps using very high pressure (more than 60PSI) precludes this concern. | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading First of all, increasing the loading means lowering the value of the load resistor. Since this "loading resistor" is between the hot and ground, lowering this value increases the "load" on the signal, thus reducing high frequency resonances and, i... | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading In the mean time, the Michell Technoweight and Riggle VTAF are cost effective upgrades. As you point out, the rest of your system is worthy of better in the long run.dealer disclosure. | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading Keep your 300 until you can spring for a serious arm. The Basis Vector ought to be in your cross hairs. | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading Tvad,go with your ears, as you are.Radrog,In your other thread you said you were loading it at 47k not 47. The internal impedance of the Goldfinger is 32 ohms which is relatively high compared to many MCs. This is how the Goldfinger achieves the r... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Another tweak that Bob Dilger told me about way back when is to turn a piece of balsa wood so to fit snugly inside the air bearing tube to dampen resonances there. One could do the same for the arm tube itself. I never did either. Another is to pu... | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading I've also heard 25 times, which puts it at about 600, but neither are necessarily so. Where did you get the 24 ohm spec? I thought it was higher. | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Thanks Crem. Keep fighting the good fight. I'll be thinking about it as well. My guess is that there are too many conflicting theories to rely on any one for your direction so intuition and experimentation are likely to pay off better; and the pro... | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading "The better the cart. the lower the loading."I don't know where you heard that but it is definitely not true. Loading has to do with electrical resonance damping and cannot be systematically approached even on the basis of impedance matching. Some... | |
| Thoughts on Phantom vs Copperhead? What about a good sub like the Wilson Benesch or Fathom? | |
| Whats the best record cleaning fluid? Your container was probably not sterilized. | |
| How Happy Am I Gonna Be?? I wouldn't worry until you have at least 60 hours or more. Have you tried 1k? | |
| Optimum TT Height Stands like the Mapleshade Samson often use standard length threaded rod, as in 48" in this case, which then puts the actual height a couple inches higher with the cones. Add to this the three "P"s of vinyl, platform, plinth, and platter and you e... |
