| How to increase the gain on a preamp If it is a matter of not enough gain, then there is another alternative to a SUT or higher output cart. Pre-pre-amp also known as headamp, which would go between cart and phono stage. | |
| What's with 4 ohm speakers? Well said Duke. | |
| Soothing the night.... I'll try to download the sounds of swamp How about this? Now, that's what I'm talking 'bout!!! | |
| VTF issues I do not believe that this is normal and would appear to indicate that there is too much vertical friction in the tonearm bearing. I would consider two different experiments. 1. If you leave the cart on the scale, does the VTF reading gradually in... | |
| Vac Phi 200 vs. Audio Research Reference 75 In case it was not clear, what I was trying to say is the Lectron and the VAC have some similar strengths. They also have a similar characteristic despite one using EL-34s and one 300bs. They have very robust, over-designed power supplies and outp... | |
| Coconut Audio $1.5 million power cord ol P.T. (a Nutmegger) also said "there's a sucker born every minute". | |
| What's with 4 ohm speakers? They're not hard to drive if you have a good amp. Depends on what you mean by good.4 ohms is an average. Not exactly; 4 ohm "nominal" has no commonly accepted definition. Plenty of speakers rated by manufacturer as 4 ohm nominal have very differen... | |

| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Raul- are you saying the Paul Landerman is incorrect when he says that no RIAA compensation is required due to the different operating principle behind the strain gauge? If that is true, that is a very significant issue. | |
| Coconut Audio $1.5 million power cord Bryon- that may even be crazier than the $1M pc!!! | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Mikelavigne- Thanks for your comments, which add a valuable perspective to this discussion. I guess we always need to remember that there is a reason the call it "the bleeding edge". I also agree that these threads can suffer from too much negativ... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge his is what I would do if I were a cartridge manufacturer in a similar situation. I would contact each registered purchaser of the cartridge and offer an explanation of what the problems with MF's review samples were. I would further offer any own... | |
| Shootout: Raidho C3.1 vs Vivid Giya 2 And just because you can't sell a pair of speakers to this particular gentleman in Singapore doesn't mean you can't benefit from the free advertisement your posts afford. Exactly. | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Another thought on the powered speaker issue (btw, I love the NHT powered speakers I use at my computer)is that they don't appeal to the tweaky gearhead side that exists in many of us that the high end market is geared (pun intended) toward. | |
| Using McCormack amp with Vandersteen II 02pete- If you like what you have (and I liked the Vandy/SMc DNA 0.5 v much when I had it) but want some more bass, you can not do better than adding the 2WQ to the mix. Start w a single and then go stereo. Highly recommended. They integrate so we... |
