| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Sorbothane is an excellent damping plastic material (another type of plastic polymer). I would agree that a heavy turntable with constrained layer damping or with sorbothane plastic footers will be an improvement on just a heavy turntable alone. N... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? @geoffkait Lol. You are wrong on both counts but won't admit it. Blind to your own inflated ego. Count 1: You stalked me - anyone can check this thread to see who started stalking who. I comment first then the stalker (you) immediately strike w... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? @geoffkait I didnt do nothing. Just responded to your ignorant post that was "stalking" my initial post. | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? @dcbingaman +1 My experience exactly. Geoffkait doesn’t seem to know what "plastic" is and that Vinyl and acrylic are forms of plastic. He clearly thinks that the majority of light weight turntables are made from something other than plastics. Th... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Very clever - just observational comments - Flat earthers and wing nuts and engineers to stupid to see danger!Little things make little minds happy I guess. | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @schubert Of course the last few feet can filter power and improve performance of SOTA equipment - no flat earth or right wing nuts deny that. However, so can the power cord and power supply in the SOTA equipment. It is reasonable to expect an imp... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @geoffkait Hel-loo! If as you say I live in a cave at least it is in the real world. You are living in a tin foil fantasy land. I hope you are delivering high quality coal to you local power station so that you can enjoy the improvement from burni... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @geoffkait Nothing I said is Strawman.You say SOTA gear improves with better power cords. FACT I do not contest that statement but ask is this acceptable from SOTA gear?I ask if it is not reasonable to expect SOTA gear to work properly without s... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @geoffkait "Calling power cords "band aids" doesn’t change the fact that replacing stock power cords in high end well-designed electronics with better power cords usually improves the sound. "Ok ok so you say it is a fact.I agree it is a fact and ... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Manufacturers came up with cheaper plastic turntables in the 70’s and since then all manner of BS to justify saving money with a cheaper design. You only have to walk across the room to hear how badly lightweight designs perform. You can't beat ph... | |
| Any Imelda May fans out there Yes thanks to Jeff Beck! | |
| Recommendation for Good Quality Desktop Speakers Genelec is worth checking out. | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @geoffkait OMG - so you really believe with all that money spent on the highest end gear that you can't even get a reliable power supply that filters out all mains noise - and therefore a band aid power cord is necessary.If you are correct then ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @audiolabyrinth I had the veneer done and serviced at the same time. New caps and new damper oil and a few parts. The main components like the direct drive are super reliable. Being a manual table there is not much that can go wrong. I use a Denon... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @geoffkait Good to see you agree - electronics like Meitner which costs a small fortune really ought to have a decent power supply that filters out extraneous noise such that a band aid power cord is unnecessary. |
