| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Anyone that’s paid an iota of attention to Physics or Cosmology, from modern Astronomy or Astrophysics to Quantum Mechanics, knows: there are much harder to explain/more bazaar things, going on all around us, than the phenomena we observe, regardi... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? @uberwaltz- Yeah; they were kinda special and now, pretty much unobtainium(popular and rare does that). Had I known then: I woulda/shoulda/coulda had mine retipped and kept it. That’s one of very few components, that I’ve sold and wish I hadn’t. P... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Earlier; geoffkait asked, "Is this where low effective mass of the tonearm comes in?" Since 1980; I’ve been using low mass Magnepan arms and high compliance cartridges. Among the reasons I went that way, is the lower VTF at which many higher compl... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? @lewm- I’ve never, in the last(slightly over) four decades of listening to vinyl, experienced any loss of fidelity, to, "super-imposed alterations in pitch and timing due to stylus drag, belt creep, and the like." In the years prior; some had to b... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? @davekayc- There’s Physics, again. ie: The heavier the groove modulation, the greater the friction(think sandpaper coarseness). Same with stylus force/pressure, in the groove(higher pressure = higher friction coefficient). Further from the center ... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? @tooblue : +1 | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? @tablejockey - The Denon DD table(DP75), I purchased in 1980(still have it, in a closet), has a Quartz referenced/AC servo motor speed control system, that reads 1000 precisely recorded pulses, from what amounts to magnetic tape, imprinted on it’s... | |
| How much are AR AR3's worth these days? @b_limo - At the risk of making another Grabbyslist: You’re welcome! | |
| How loud do you play music? What weightings are you posters using? An important factor: https://www.noisemeters.com/help/faq/frequency-weighting/ | |
| How loud do you play music? What oregonpapa said, +1(but- I use a Sharpie)! | |
| cables for GUITARISTS from audio companys Analysis Plus makes some mighty nice stuff, including more secure jacks: https://www.analysis-plus.com/pro-audio | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? @eric- Certainly, much of what’s causing phase/freq anomalies, etc, in a speaker system, can be corrected with DSP. ie: https://www.audioxpress.com/article/a-loudspeaker-that-can-play-square-waves Far as individual drivers(or- identical multiples)... | |
| Tube rolling in the Candela @topside3- Have you tried any NOS tubes, from those that are grading tubes, for low-noise application? ie: https://www.upscaleaudio.com/pages/grading-matching and http://vintagetubeservices.com/testing-selecting-procedures/ You might contact Brent... | |
| Barbie's Very Real, High End Speaker Problem... EMPTY SPACE? https://curiosity.com/topics/empty-space-isnt-empty-and-quantum-researchers-now-have-direct-evidence-curiosity/ Just sayin’(not foaming, or anything). | |
| ...amazed by 15+ year old interconnect... All of my current interconnects(Kimber KS-1132 and KS-1032, Synergistic Tesla Apex(w/Spallone MPC mod) and Analog Tricon, Wireworld Eclipse 7 Golds, not to mention my Analysis Plus, Big Silver Oval speaker cables), have silver conductors. So did e... |
