| Fozgometer? From what i ve read it may have been easier to do this adjustment with a Fozgometer but it can be done with a DDM also. The only problem is that with a DMM you are sensitive to broadband noise when measuring the small crosstalk signal. Some portio... | |
| Fozgometer? Also when I say soundcard, I should say that that the Microphone input on the Macbook is good enough for azimuth and speed. For frequency measurements a better soundcard (e.g. Agogee Duet) would be preferable. | |
| Fozgometer? Wouldn't the soundcard in your laptop need to be calibrated to provide an accurate measurement? I know that some room measuring software, such as REW, requires that your soundcard be calibrated in order to provide an accurate measurement.No need t... | |
| Fozgometer? Don_c55,The electrical "balance" (output in each channel) of a cartridge is almost never exact. You need to adjust the balance control for the proper centering of the image after azimuth is set.Both the Fozgo and the spectrum analyzer method does ... | |
| Fozgometer? The difference is that, instead of a 1khz tone, it has a pink noise tone. I doubt if that would make a difference, though. Either should work. For both the Fozgo and the method I just described you need a sine signal, for pink/white noise the sign... | |
| Fozgometer? Here is a much cheaper and better way, which is really not much more difficult:You can use the same method (Test record with 1KHz test signal) with a laptop and a free downloaded spectrum analyzer. I feed the signal from my phonostage into my Macb... | |
| Wavelength Brick USB DAC tube rolling? Oldgrey -here are some more comments I posted in another thread a few months later:After getting the Benchmark, I got to improve the Brick a little more by doing some very careful tube rolling. With the Mazda Triple Mica, flow and coherence is a l... | |
| Any Tom Waits Fans? I have been a Tom Waits fan ever since hearing Bone Machine in 1992. That one holds a special place for me in Tom Waits line-up. I have to say Black Rider is often neglected too, but I saw a live staging of it by One Yellow Rabbit and it's a great... | |
| Long ICs versus long speaker cables I would go for the longer speaker cable run. A23 cables work well with lengths from 3-8m or so if you decide that direction. | |
| Tom Evans Groove X, Aesthetix Rhea or JLTI Jmcrogan - the reason why there was no mention of loading for the old TE Groove was that all of them were custom made with a set value for loading - no variable loading. Only the new models have flexible loading options. | |
| DPS/Ayre Turntable does anyone know anything Nice review of the Ayre/DPS by Art Dudley in the latest Stereophile... | |
| How to Increase Turntable Height on High WAF Rack 4musica44107, you might want to check out the excellent new review of the DPS turntable by Art Dudley in Stereophile. It's been time that the DPS is getting a bit more spotlight - it's an incredible table. | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Maybe a pair of Devore Super 9 - some input from a parallel thread:Devore Nines | |
| jan Allaerts cartridges mc1b I also run my MC1B in a Schroeder No. 2fw. I use the heavier brass headshell which raises arm mass to about 14-15g. I am measuring the resonance around 10.5 Hz so that this arm mass should be about ideal for the Allaerts. | |
| Tom Evans Groove X, Aesthetix Rhea or JLTI Artemus, the JLTI will certainly give you a different flavor and a taste of what resolution analog can have. Also although the upgraded PS is a worthwhile upgrade it takes away from the excellent value of the phonostage (as it makes the combo so m... |
