A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? Yes, do away with connectors ! I just chickened out on hard-wiring solid silver phono IC directly to my RIAA stage board because the underside of the PCB would have been difficult to access, and knowing the constructor carefully voiced the unit, I... | |
A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? Thank you for all responses, and Franken-oldhvymec, for much valued reminders. | |

How important is the pre-amp? As noted above, transformers seem key. After ten years’ pleasure from a valve phono-line stage preamp I ordered a TVC yesterday after a months trial in my system. With high efficiency loudspeakers and an SET listening to LP’s and FM radio, strippi... | |
Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. here is another +1 for ESS rebuilt Quad ESL 57's; at low volume evening listening levels they bathe you in sound...... (and Townshend super tweeters with 57's open up spatial presentation and a little more of everything) | |
Townshend Maximum Supertweeters correction, for Quad 57 panels, they work ! | |
Townshend Maximum Supertweeters these complement (rebuilt ElectroStatic Solutions') Quad ESL 57's adding greater sense of space, front to back spatial depth (a limitation of these wonderful speakers), extension of treble and bass performance (the 88 - 89dB efficiency rebuilds d... | |
Too much Yo-Yo Ma? yes, all players noted, a special vote for Savall's work, and not yet mentioned, Daniel Shafran, Russian, (1923 - 1997) worth hearing | |
Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ? I was curious to hear if anyone cautioned on the cable's single ended ground. My only concern would be that the A23 cable as supplied is blissfully quiet, i.e.; no hum, and I need to keep it that way. There was a little hum on the previous cable u... | |
Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ? I was glad to have your note back in December. I am toying with removing the RCA plugs and hard wiring A23 phono cable directly to my valve phono stage, bypassing preamp RCA phono sockets and wire connection to the stage. I did this with previousl... | |
Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ? well, now I know the A23 tonearm cable is fantastic; open, musical colour. so right for high output magnetic cartridge into valves and full range single driver horn loudspeakers | |
Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ? thank you jond and anti grunge 2. For systems that "like" copper, it is hard to imagine there is anything more open and musical than A23 cable. Very good to read your notes. Anti grunge, do you know what is the cable inside the Dynavector arm, co... | |
Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ? .... I should add I previously used a Triplanar tonearm with straight through Cardas copper wire. My new (pre-owned) tonearm has silver wire internally. The cartridge is a Decca SC4E moving iron with output around 5mv into a valve (tube) phono sta... | |
LP's: the measure of off-centre record spindle holes ? thanks edcny and millercarbon for your answers. Yes, the mighty piano tells you all's good, or not, on a number of levels. Millercarbon, I like the cut of your jib. Zero, is the answer, of course. And so it turns out for 50% of my quick sampling t... | |
In praise of the ESL-57 I have found similarly. I bought a 1970s pair in good shape three months ago. Not having heard Quad ESL's before, I thought they were very promising and sent them off --the panels and electronics only-- to the US from London for refurbishment. Upo... |
