| Is anyone in vinyl land familiar with ADC tonearms Very low mass arm. Will require careful selection of cartridges. Then again, you probably already knew that. Other than that, i see nothing wrong with it and it is probably serving you well. May even be better than some highly respected arms if it... | |
| Is it OK to leave a tube preamp on all the time? I agree with RC. Nuff said... Sean> | |
| Sota Sapphire Platter Removal I would contact Sota as they probably have some type of direction sheet that they can fax you. I just spoke to them last Thursday and they were very helpful. Their number is (708) 246 - 9815. They are located near Chicago, so they are on Central S... | |
| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? Bringing conductors closer together moves them more towards being a capacitive load. Spacing them further apart makes them less capacitive and moves them more towards the inductive side of reactance. When one can find equal amounts of capacitance ... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC Just because the magazine as a corporate entity "can't be bought", that doesn't mean that individual contributors can't. One would be foolish to think that ANY "organization" was made up of 100% loyal and upright employees. The statement that Blac... | |
| Contact Cleaner Agree with Albert. Deoxit is excellent if cleaning "crust" out of connections, motor windings, etc... Pro Gold is more of a "treatment" than a cleaner ( in my opinion ) and is designed to protect and plate the metals.As to his comments about Trich... | |
| What is the purpose of Twl, it is sometimes not the gauge that matters, but the geometry of the conductors being used. Goertz speaker cables are very heavy gauge ( range from 7 gauge to 14 gauge ) but will not suffer from "skin effect" since they are ALL "skin".As to "s... | |
| Super Efficent Home Theater Speakers There is a local guy with three La Scala's ( mains and center ) and two Heresy's for the rears. He's using dual Klipsch subs to fill in the bottom octave or two. The center La Scala resides directly behind his pull down projection screen, so voice... | |
| anyone done mods to amp, pre,or cd? One of my buddies just modified a power amp of his with fast recovery diodes in place of the bridge. He said that the difference was staggering. The noise floor dropped, sound was much more liquid and transparent. It was so noticeable that he was ... | |
| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? Twl, the cables that you mention would be quite high in inductance. Then again, the treble roll off that takes place might somewhat balance out the somewhat leaner and brighter sound passed on by using such a fine gauged conductor. I think that th... | |
| CD direct to amp vs active preamp I can see and understand both platforms when it comes to the active vs passive debate. As to passive's or unity gain designs, you will still have colouration due to internal wiring, signal degradation and loss from passing through various componen... | |
| What is the purpose of Your analogy is completely logical and TRUE. However, any steps taken to improve the system will benefit the end result. However, those benefits may not be fully manifested until everything has been "worked to death" and the system has been "tweak... | |
| How come that when most audiophiles I can relate to what TWL states regarding the benefits of a wide bandwidth point source. I can also relate to his comments about "direct drive" from a power amp to driver. With that in mind, I don't know of any such designs that are capable of dee... | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? From what i can tell from your message, your only alternative to a divorce is some type of tiny bookshelf speaker that you can install someplace that is convenient for her to try and "hide". As such, you might as well buy some Bose or other "gener... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC 1) Antony Michaelson takes an untested unit out of a pre-production run of a brand new up and coming product.2) He flies across the ocean to hand deliver this unit to Sam Tellig in person3) The unit dies within 24 hours of installation and turn on... |
