| what is the problem with too much tracking force? As I recall, the Delos is physically designed such that, at the correct albeit narrow range of VTF provided, the optimal position of the coil relative to the magnet is assured. Jonathan? | |
| Which CD Transport for Aesthetix Pandora Signature DAC I'll second the PS Audio recommendation. But you'll get more performance out of one if you use their DAC or, as I do, a Wyred 4 Sound SE2 DAC, both of which can utilize PS Audio's proprietary I2S interface, which keep the three clock signals disc... | |

| what is the problem with too much tracking force? In my estimation there is:Not enough VTFEnough VTFMore than enough VTFToo much VTFIn my experience with two Delos carts, measuring VTF with a 3 place digimeter, I aim for 1.80, what I feel is the Enough VTF setting. These both on VPI Aries 2 Black... | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? EveAnna Manley is so convinced of this that they make their own trannies in house. | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) I have a new product to introduce to the market called Dehyde. It’s a dehydrated water product and it comes in small packets that you open, pour into a glass and just add water. | |
| Needle Recommendations I second LP Gear as a great company as well! Enjoy your new stylus! | |
| System Direction? Thiel 7.2s, Krell, Kimber, SCD-1 I'm now running a Manley Stingray II (non-iPod dock version) with my second system's CS 2.4s and this is a great match, provided you don't have a huge room to fill. I previously was using a CJ CAV50 but there wasn't enough "torque" to tighten the... | |
| engineering mistakes on recordings Much of the time the recording engineer is not the mix engineer. Also, some producers/mix/mastering engineers have lost their hearing through high sound pressure levels and the end result, while the master may sound good to them, is a sonic mess t... | |
| sound wave speed and other ways they behave/react. Geoff: your experiment designed to prove exactly what? | |
| System Direction? Thiel 7.2s, Krell, Kimber, SCD-1 I purchased Manley 250 mono blocks and Steelhead/Skipjack for my CS6s, having once had the KCT with a 400cx amp combo, and the improvement over any remaining listening fatigue was substantial. Tubes can be sublime with Thiels. | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Geoffakit,Maybe half the fuses will in the correct orientation at the outset by chance. But how would you know which ones?And, I am not an English major.Also, how can directionality of a fuse be a factor where alternating current operates require... | |

| Value of Acoustic Research AR2's I have somewhat different view than Stan above. I restored a pair of 2axs (circa 1969) that I bought last year for $100 and they sound absolutely wonderful. I think it matters that the drivers and cabinets are in good condition to begin with and t... | |
| Acoustic Research 2ax speaker I see this was posted a couple of years ago but thought I’d chime in. Due to a divorce settlement I had to sell the house and finally got it sold it last year. This meant that while moved into temporary housing (3 bedroom apt) I had virtually all ... |
