Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go Regarding Soundsmith and the Fozgometer(don't know if this applies to retipped whatevers): https://www.sound-smith.com/faq/how-do-i-set-azimuth-adjustment-my-cartridge | |
Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? @fsonicsmith - Excellent observations, ALL. | |
Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? Some years back, I had decided to replace my Silver Audio Hyacinths, and gotten a pair of Wireworld’s Platinum Eclipse interconnects. With the Hyacinths, I was enjoying a wall to wall sound stage(with attendant, accurate, imaging) and excellent/re... | |
Latest Oppo"s selling for twice retail It’s called, "supply & demand". If someone has an item, that is very desirable & rare- what’s the problem with seeing what the market will bear? No one, selling OPPO products, is holding a gun to anyone’s head(far as I know). | |
Delete "Cable Snake Oil Anecdote" Thread! @rja- Girls just wanna have fu-un! Don’t the neigh-sayers, all seem to sound alike after a while? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gROO7xSTxfY | |
Hafler DH500 Odyssey Audio +1. Manufactured right here, in Indianapolis, IN. Alon Wolf uses them, to voice his highly regarded speakers(Magico) No fan noise, either. Klaus is a great guy, with great products and offers a number of valuable(audible) upgrades, a... | |
Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R Glad I checked in, sooner than my usual once a week. Silly me, to have trusted the Grace compliance figures, on the Vinyl Engine site. I’ve no doubt, their own manuals, would be the authority. VE doesn’t mention at what frequency their figures are... | |
Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R Mr chakster- The original Grace F9R’s compliance, was 12 x 10-6cm/Dyne(kinda medium compliance), as were the majority of the F9 series. Many of Mr Ledermann’s Soundsmiths, are in the 22 to 28 x 10-6cm/Dyne range. Don’t know if he can, does or will... | |
Cable Snake Oil Antidote Actually, I appreciate the incessant dribble, from the cable neigh-sayers(as in donkey-speak). The snorts of derision, keep my sinuses clear. | |
Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R According to the Vinyl Engine Resonance Evaluator, the 7G effective mass, of a Magnepan Untrac I, combined with your cart’s compliance/weight, will yield a 10Hz resonance. I’ve used both Denon 103D’s(same compliance as your Grace/1.5G more weight)... | |
Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? If you want to experiment, go to a fabric shop and buy some Bonded Dacron(polyester batting). You can then control the vent function, by varying the amount of Dacron(tight or loose wrap/longer shorter roll) in the tube. 1" to 1 1/2" thick work... | |
Directional? What Audioquest(et al) think(s): https://www.audioquest.com/theory-education/article/83-directionality-its-all-about-noise Possibly part of the reason OCC(Ohno Constant Crystal) wire is so popular, in the industry's better cabling. | |
HiFi room acoustic treatment I treated the walls of my shoppe in Florida, behind the listening position, with a treatment similar to what you're describing. Don't know what color you're looking for, but: I found that simple burlap, over 2" of rock wool, stapled to the strip... | |
Phono stage If you’re able to solder, upgrading the GCPH’s power supply, will make a major improvement in it’s presentation. Especially in it’s dynamics(slam) and textural reproduction(cleaner sound, all around) Replace the rectifiers with(http://www.partscon... | |
Moving coil and Moving magnet really the same for my cartridge? 47K is what Hana recommends, as the("suggested load") impedance for their HOMC(SH). The output(2mV) will work with some MM stages, depending on your SPL desires and the rest of your system’s gain. http://www.the-ear.net/review-hardware/hana-eh-and... |
