| TW-Acustic Arm I will venture a comment on the Thales principle. It seems to me, neither a trained physicist nor engineer, that the best and highest purpose of a Thales-type design would be to create a high inertia mass at the end of a tonearm and hang a cartrid... | |
| How important is ext. adj. for cartridge loading Peter,I am a willing guinea pig :^) | |
| How important is ext. adj. for cartridge loading Nikturner,Good question. Will the circuit which expects a stereo signal be OK with one RCA? Maybe I am overlooking something simple... | |
| When is an amp ‘just too old? ’ To buy? One of my favorite owner's manuals reads in one place: The amplifier does not require any maintenance. While the design is conservative, this is a hard running amplifier, as single ended Class A operation is the least efficient operating mode. In ... | |
| How important is ext. adj. for cartridge loading This is a great post. Thanks to Pbnaudio for coming to the forum to ask.Above and beyond everything is sound. Not too long ago I switched to a 30yr old headamp and phono stage where the mfr moved heaven and earth to reduce EMI within the circuitry... | |
| The Hub: EVEREST - The tallest peak of JBL range? Personally, I love the K2s of the various model names, with the 9500s and 9800s being really top-notch (but even the 5500s being truly excellent speakers. I have never listened to the D55000s but I have listened to the "new" Everests, the D66000s,... | |
| what 's the best tonearm for turntable I hope someone can help find another straight arm with a 225mm mounting distance (like the Lustre GST-801. The only ones I know of are the Audio Technica AT-1100 and AT-1120, and possibly the Sonus, but they are all for lightweight carts.The Hadco... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Shane, I wasn't suggesting any answer to the question per se - intellectually I prefer to stay out of discussions of 'absolute' as arguments about semantics are a favorite on this forum and accomplish little (but sometimes I just have to throw mys... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Shane,The issue raised by this new "tie" for best cartridge is that the original premise of this thread is now endangered... there is no longer one "absolute best cartridge", but now two absolute bests... which brings into question the definition ... | |
| The Hub: EVEREST - The tallest peak of JBL range? 6550c,The K2 ("Savage Mountain") in the Karakorams has been summited a number of times. Granted, it was first summited after Everest was, but so was every one of the other 8k peaks. | |
| What Step-up transformers are best value? I also use a headamp and do so very happily. I find it quite flexible (it has two gains and a pass-through, and 4 different loading choices). It easily beat my previous best SUT, that said it cost a bit more than the SUT did, and I have never trie... | |

| A blasphemy....I know.... The question is not whether three RGB lights with variable intensity and backlight can produce yellow. They obviously can. The question is whether or not adding a fourth light in the way Sharp does produces a better picture. The newest large-scree... | |
| Sony TTS 8000 w Sony PUA 1600L Sorenoiversen,Please do report your findings. I have seen the 1.2kg-cm number "inertia" number posted on The Vintage Knob spec page. I expect that is supposed to be the torque number because it is not an inertia number (it is a couple of hundred t... | |
| Micro Seki gunmetal platter I read, many moons ago, on a Japanese site featuring comments by people who seemed to know MS stuff reasonably well that the gunmetal platter was "meant for" solid state systems, and the stainless steel platter for tube amplification. I have no co... |
