| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Abrew19, This thread is an institution. Why would we want it deleted? If you don't like it, don't read it!I've been enjoying a Technics EPC 205mkII L, with a Jico SAS stylus for the last 6 months. The 205mkII L is the low output version of this ca... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Hi Atmashphere, Electrostats that are not direct driven already have a transformer to step up the voltage built in. Would it not be better to replace the transformer in the speaker with one that raises the impedance, than to add a set of Zero's? | |
| What is a Headshell and what does it do ? This is fairly obvious, but even if two different cartridges require the same tracking force they both will likely have a different self mass. In that case you still need to adjust VTF for each one. Heck you could have two of the same cart and the... | |
| SNE V VTA adjustment PS There is no locking screw for the VTA. | |
| SNE V VTA adjustment Had the same problem the first time I adjusted a SME V. The post hole has a very tight tolerance. You just have to push the arm down firmly, after unscrewing the VTA adjuster.Not a very good design IMO. Kind of awkward. | |
| Wasn't this forum going to be updated? They should just switch to vBulletin forum software. Much better than this ancient forum software. | |
| DAC: high quality USB + preamp $5000 Exasound E22. Hard to do better. | |
| Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed ^^ There is an easy way to find out. Just reverse speaker leads on one speaker. If your focus comes back then you wired one of your interconnects wrong. | |
| Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed Sbrownnw, Are you sure you wired your interconnects correctly? Make sure they are both wired the same. If one is wired out of phase then you will loose focus. | |
| VPI 10.5i counterweights ..umm.. weights If you have not removed the VTF adjustment bolt at the end of the arm, try that. It should help a little. | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? Go out and listen to as many systems as you can. Join an audio society, attend some hifi shows, and listen to some friends systems. This will give you a better idea of what is possible. You may not hear one system that does it all but you will cer... | |
| Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all? ...and there is only one out there who used his brain to develop something useful, The Axiom Arm from Acoustical Systems. It has an independent leveling. A nice detail which will never get the respect it deserves :-) Actually the Schroder LT had t... | |
| Auto audio Macdonj, I'm using the DEH 80PRS now. I had the DEX-P9, and DEQ-P9 before that. Unfortunately the 80PRS is not nearly as good as the old P9's. I was tempted to buy the new TOTL Pioneer but did not want to spend that much on car audio this time. Re... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream I think I remember Ted Smith saying that the output transformers are part of the output filter. Changing them out would change the filter as well. Who knows if that would be advisable or not? | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Hi Ozzy, Not sure if it can replace your preamp. We played it through our clubs Genesis I-60 integrated amp, into Genesis G7.1f loudspeakers. It seemed to have less gain than the clubs Oppo-95. Depends on how much gain your amp has, input impedanc... |
