| How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment. Nice to see a thread on reel to reel, I've posted a few times in support of the R2R format.Isn't this thread over a year old, wonder if the OP is still looking. | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables Thank you for contributing @rodman99999 , agree...using an X-acto blade would also be helpful in removing the outer enamel. Of course; changing whatever they’re using for magnet wire, will in no way tell how a good pair of speaker cables will p... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. There are regular cables, and then there are cables with a built-in network/component, the two are totally different animals. A lot can be done to change the sound with a network connected to it.What will they come up with next, a cable with drive... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? As the OP, I wanted to see if many were interested in how high-end cable measures, most here are not concerned with it and let their ears be the judge. I believe this is the way it should be.We are in a hobby where everyone defines good differentl... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Why spend your time focusing on the naysayers....it's a lost cause, the majority on this thread are believers from what I can tell....And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Cable measurements don't really matter, better measurements haven't always lead to better sound in our hobby.Complex and "creative" cable geometries used by high-end cable manufacturers are used to alter the way a cable sound, this is what audioph... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Sure they do....my cables are clearly marked on the manufacture's packaging. My interconnect clearly state 1.0m and my speaker cables are 2.5m. You gotta look closer. LOL! Hmmm....I never noticed until now :) | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? @lalitk I like your response, it makes sense to me. Audio is subjective, if we can accept differing opinions, the ride will be less rough. | |
| Does anyone have experience with seller Kron on cartridges? I had my first purchase through Kron a few weeks ago and have nothing but positive things to say about him. The cartridge was as advertised and it arrived really fast, faster than buying from some domestic sellers here in the US. | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Most of us can agree with @clearthinker on this, exchanging ideas without attacking other people we've never met.Not too long ago I posted on the forum to bring some attention to the reel to reel format and was told by one of our forum regular pos... | |
| powercords @lostinseattle brings up a valid point, if one can hear a difference, then "what is being changed"?Different cable type....poses different resistance to the signal.The thousands of feet electricity goes through outside the home do so through certa... | |
| Remember the Ringmat? You should! I just replaced a copper mat for a cork/rubber mat on my Garrard 301, this was done because of a newly mounted cartridge.Metal mat tends to accentuate certain frequencies, in some setup, the copper will sound better. It all depends on the turntabl... | |
| powercords Many of my cable experiments were done a little over tens years ago. I was most surprised to hear how power cords made the most difference on my CD player, followed by preamp, then amp (tube and SS). At the time, I had access to cables of many dif... | |
| What type of cord is this and where can I buy it? Your best bet is ebay, or a camera specific store | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @atmasphere What tonearm adjustments do you view as necessary to be considered a good tonearm for yourself? |
