| Seeking advice from the SL1200 fan s Thanks for the clarification Zaikesman. As stated, i am not directly familiar with fluid damping. I took that bit of info from George Merrill's TT booklet. Sean> | |
| A search for great cables for electrostatics I would tend to agree with Duke's basic points. Low inductance cables here are a necessity for best results. I am using Goertz MI-2's with my E-stat's and it seems to be a good match. I would not doubt that the Magnan's work well, as i also like a... | |
| Spring cleaning / audio sales I need to correct an error in my original post. While i was told by the salesman at AA that the Monster M1000 was an all silver cable, it is actually a silver center conductor with a foil and copper shield. Like the AQ VSD-1, it is a "hybrid" desi... | |
| Seeking advice from the SL1200 fan s I would suggest talking to Kevin about cartridges. One of the advantages of having a removable headshell is that you can swap cartridges at the drop of a hat. As such, you can use one for 33's / 45's and another for 78's. The arm would have to be ... | |
| How grills affect? Art, try looking at www.partsexpress.com or www.madisound.com as they should be able to help you out. Sean> | |
| SS amps. Why so much power? David, i've used two different SS amplifiers that were biased Class A, were rated for 40 wpc and 50 wpc, doubled down at 4 ohms and were from the same manufacturer that you're currently using. These powered a set of 96 db speakers in a room appr t... | |
| entry level power solutions Start off by picking up some Audioprism Quiet Lines. These will benefit the entire system and work regardless of any other filtering / changes that you make to the system. These are both cheap and highly effective at removing grundge coming in thr... | |
| Really dumb question about Atmasphere amps Good question. I often wonder if designers actually ever use the gear that they design to find out just how well it works ( or doesn't work for that matter ) or if something like this was done for specific electrical considerations. As to mono-blo... | |
| What is the best DB level to What ??? Could you please repeat that... : )I don't listen to "roaring" music near as often as i used to. Both my perspective on life and musical tastes have somewhat changed since my "yout" ( courtesy of "My cousin Vinny" ). None the less, i do e... | |
| buzzzzz, where did i go wrong? did you tie the two audio ground rods to the house ground rod ? If so, that should negate the differences in ground potential so long as you have a good connection on all of them.As to Dan2112's comments, treatment of the soil to increase conducti... | |
| TO DAC OR NOT TO DAC? Jitter starts at the transport. If you don't have a good transport, it can only get worse further down the line. You can add filters, re-clocking mechanisms, etc... but this is all more "junk" in the signal path and extra cabling. As such, a well ... | |
| How to Match Levels? Are you trying to match levels at the headphones or at the source feeding the amplification chain ? Sean> | |
| Cat 5 cables, your experience My experience is with two different sets of cables built to Chris VH's specs ( look in the Cable Asylum ) and a set of "cheater" Cat 5's that i and my brother built. Chris' design uses 27 pairs ( 54 conductors ) and is quite labor intensive to bui... | |
| Free turntable speed check strobe I just measured the accuracy of the downloadable disc to see how it checked out. I first verified the digital speed read out of this table by using the KAB Electro Acoustics strobe disc. I could leave the table in the preset 33.33 rpm mode and it ... | |
| Alice and Chains Ohlala, maybe we're misunderstaning each other here.First of all, my comment about "deny your maker" comes from one of AIC's songs. If you're familiar with the band, i'm sure you've heard it.Secondly, i was inferring that having a LACK of faith ( ... |
