| "High Current" Metralla: The audio world does not revolve around Stereophile alone in terms of equipment reviews. How many other reviews / reviewers do this? That was the point that i was trying to make. Having said that, i'm glad that Stereophile does perform s... | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued Norm: You can use a simple microscope for viewing your own stylus. After all, if you can look at paramecium using one of these things, you can surely see a small hunk of diamond with one. As far as record cleaning goes, i'm talking about a REAL "d... | |
| Amp is stuck "on"-rocker switch is not engaging Was the $200 just for the switch or was it for the switch and labour? From your post, it sounds like it was for the switch itself and you are doing the labour. If such is the case, i'm still in the wrong business : ) Sean> | |
| "High Current" Jeffreybehr: As discussed in another relatively recent thread, power ratings can be manipulated by the manufacturer. Even if they are rated to "double down", most amps DO NOT really do this, the ratings are just "fudged" to look good to the consum... | |
| Shure V15Vmr or Ortofon OM20 Super? I would skip the Stanton for use with these specific arms and not being able to alter the loading wouldn't help either. Off the top of my head, i can't think of another inexpensive cartridge to go with. Sorry i'm not much help on this one : ) Sean... | |
| Shure V15Vmr or Ortofon OM20 Super? Marty: Did you ever experiment with the loading that you were using with your Grado's? It is possible to play games with tonal balance and transient response by doing so. Having said that, i still find the Grado's to be a bit on the "warm & sm... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Hmmm... Audioholics seems to have somewhat contradicted the information that Thomas J Norton of Stereophile presented in his article about amplifier stability / frequency response into various loads. The Stereophile article ( which i've linked to ... | |
| "High Current" El: what you are basically saying is that it is possible for a low powered amp to be "high current" even though it isn't "high powered" and i agree. It is actually much simpler and less costly to do something like that than it is to make a high po... | |
| Alpha Core MI2 vs Audience AU24 speaker cable With the RFI, EMI and noise levels that one is going to encounter in a car, i personally can't see spending that kind of money on cabling. If i were to choose between the two, the Audience would probably win out of size, flexibility and convenienc... | |
| "High Current" If a device truly is "high current", it will produce twice the power output at or very near the point of clipping as the impedance is cut in half. If the device doesn't do this, it is NOT "high current". While some might say that having a "big pow... | |
| Amp is stuck "on"-rocker switch is not engaging Unless it is a tubed amp and / or a very high bias SS design that generates gobs of heat and you are unwilling to pay the electric bill or have small children in the house and are concerned about their safety, leave the amp on.Since we are on the ... | |
| Alpha Core MI2 vs Audience AU24 speaker cable The Au24's are much smaller gauge. The Au24's have a much higher series resistance. The Au24's have a higher nominal impedance. All of these things add up to a leaner overall sound with more potential for dynamic constriction and smearing. The lon... | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued Norm: Clean your records one time very thoroughly, put them in high grade bags and then brush them off with each play. As far as cartridges and TT's go, align the cartridge and arm, set the proper tracking weight and be done with it. Maybe you'll ... | |
| Shure V15Vmr or Ortofon OM20 Super? If you think that the Shure is lean, you won't like the Ortofon at all. The Ortofon is much quicker sounding with better definition whereas the Shure is slower with less separation. If the Ortofon were an active component, it would remind of Music... | |
| Goth music fans - need help... Lazarus: That was a good find on your part. From what i can tell, this is a pretty obscure band and not well known at all. I finally looked at their website and from what i can tell, i would have never found them without someone's help. Thanks aga... |
