| Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions I noticed while doing the measurement using the analogue test record that I was picking up surface noise that threw the measurement. I estimated this by getting a reading between the test tracks. Ideally you should subtract this from your minimum ... | |
| Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions It is the angle made by the stylus axis to the record. Is that more clear?You will get closer using my method. I have assumed that the playing weight has already been adjusted prior to this.Believe me it works VERY well on my Rega arm and is a lot... | |
| Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions If you believe the 92 degree angle for VTA as pushed by the audio press. I have a very simple way to get you close to this angle.I use a ruled 3 by 5 index card. Set the anti skating to zero and get out an old LP.PLace the stylus carefully on the ... | |
| A New Believer Al: Sorry about that I guess I should have read that more carefully.I also am guilty of not reading your earlier post.I DO agree with all you have said before.Your point also about poor correlation abetween performance and price is exactly what I ... | |
| A New Believer Al: I am not sure I wholly agree with the concept that the speaker cables have an insignificant effect.The simple fact that people hear a difference by changing the cables WITHOUT changing the speaker suggest that the cables must have a pretty dra... | |
| A New Believer Thanks Al I agree with all the commentsRegards,J | |
| A New Believer Al: There is a fly in the ointment though. Speaker loads are very far from being predictable speaker to speaker. The low output impedance of an amplifier will help but as I said in the first post you have the cable and the speaker in series. Feedb... | |
| A New Believer Shadorne: The point I was making is this. There is NOTHING that is absolutely understood in our hobby. The example I gave you was the one that supported "CD reproduction was perfect" It turns out that as envisioned it is not. Just because one cann... | |
| A New Believer Al: Thanks for the balanced comment. That is what I said in my original post. And that is why I recommended the Anti-cables. They are simple in construction and more likely to be a better match to the driving amplifier. | |
| A New Believer Shadorne:Interesting but the rise and fall time of the signal is relevant and therefore the impact of the impedance is also relevant even at "audio" frequencies. I suppose, by analogy you believe that there is no problem with CD sound because the ... | |
| A New Believer No hyperbole-just scientific facts. The wires I suggested are plain copper wire without any fancy wrappings. Look before you speak is something you should add to your hyperbole! | |
| A New Believer All cables have inductance resistance and capacitance and they are a complex load by any stretch of the imagination. | |
| A New Believer Let's face it. You are loading the output of the amplifier with TWO complex loads. The speaker and the speaker cables. I cannot fathom how you can compare cables without knowing how the amplifier reacts to these two in series. That is why agreemen... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help ALL: I found this excellent link for turntable setup. Well worth a visit and read for all serious analog ownwers.http://www.soundfountain.com/amb/ttadjust.html | |
| CartridgeCompatability:Arm/Amp Most Important? Raquel: I was addressing warps not turntable rumble. The link below is very well written and worth reading.http://www.theanalogdept.com/cartridge___arm_matching.htm |
