| What's the benefit of balanced tonearm cables? @ivanj you haven’t understood what was written above. Try reading it again. ALL cartridges are balanced. The cable type (RCA or XLR) doesn’t make a difference. If you have RCA outputs from your tonearm cable but your phono preamp only accepts XL... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? I own the ION-001. There’s an issue with keeping it on during playback - it degrades the sound. It’s not a huge difference, but once you hear it, you cannot “unhear” it. Highs are rolled-off and the sound loses energy, sounding a bit “muddy”. It m... | |
| Relaxing Records for Better Sound - Using the AFI FLAT @mijostyn You are not looking closely enough or you have vacuum hold or a clamp. 80% of the records I buy are warped. If I sent them back then 80% of the replacements would also be warped, and I would be spending all my free time shipping and gett... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch Yes, I have an HRS S1 under my Brinkmann Bardo/SMEV12/Kondo IO-M. | |
| Analog Upgrade itch I just installed the Seismion platform under my field coil speaker power supply. Huge difference! Once you hear what it does, you can't go back. Keep in mind that this is under a solid state (not tube) power supply for the electromagnets in 4 dri... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear I thought so too at first. The reality is that Jonathan Weiss is a nasty, vile, human being. He ends up burning his relationships. Ask around and you’ll see… Character of the founder is important when you are buying at this level. It’s a hobby an... | |
| Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire @grannyring how long does it take the Duelund 12GA wire to break-in? | |
| Coiling excess Speaker cable, is this a problem? I had several feet of speaker wire jumbled in a heap, like a messy coil. I just straightened it out, not perfectly, but no longer coiled. OMG! Huge difference! Never coil speaker wire. | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner When you strip away the marketing hype from Paul at PS Audio and live with their regenerators, I have owned the P20 for 2 years, and before that the P5, and before that the PPP, you realize they: - produce line noise - the regeneration is not sil... | |
| Bruno Strikes Again. Purifi 1ET7040SA VTV Amplifier. The original 400 module is not better in any way that affects music. There is a myth going around to the contrary. @kuribo you posted graphs without a legend and without any background - please elaborate | |
| Duelund cast Pio Hybrid Copper/Silver or Rs series with Silver Bypass PIO My massive crossovers with tinned copper CAST caps are now breaking in! Has anyone experienced the background noise floor change during the first 1000 hours? | |
| Fostex t 500 a. mk2 Thank you for this answer!I’d love to hear your thoughts on how the MkIII compare to the MkII?Trying both now with my crossover engineer and he prefers the MkII. | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Anyone who has heard the RCA field coil 1428/1443 drivers will tell you they are the best for midrange reproduction. With a wide frequency response of ~300 - 7500 Hz, they reproduce everything from the subtlety of a finely nuanced passage to the c... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Contact Jeffrey Jackson if you want to hear world class horns. But his systems typically cost well over $100k. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Anyone who things horns sound “colored” or lack imaging, or intimacy hasn’t heard a good horn system, period. First of all, most horn systems are not time aligned. This is bad for all of the above issues.My system is fully time aligned, and featur... |
