| How do you deal with vibration? Is it real or is it imagination? This is a reoccurring concern throughout Audiogon and Audio Asylum. Two additional factors seem always to also weigh into this dispute, namely is there a theory and can it be measured. Above and beyond this are two... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Pbb, don't assume that others have your ears or the resolution of your system or your biases.Eldartford, my conclusion, as always were instruments are involved, is that they don't have the resolution of human ears. I do admire, however, your effor... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Pbb and Eldarford, both of you are dismissing the effect of vibration induced non-music. Eldarford goes further to suggest that it is inaudible. I have no concern whether you think it is inaudible. Nevertheless, at some level it is real and an exp... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Pbb, do you know what happens if you move a wire in a magnetic field? You get current flow. Your components are full of wires with magnetic fields around them caused by their having current flows. If you vibrate them with sound waves, you generate... | |
| Newbie question about reversing Phase?? Also, it is improbable that a preamp with phono will maintain absolute polarity throughout or between the phono and non-phono inputs. I have a little unit for inverting polarity on phono but never use it. Most often, however, you can hear polarity... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? My Shure gauge may be plated stainless steel, if there is such a thing, but it not unplated stainless steel. I too have never seen magnetic or even marginally magnetic stainless steel, but I guess if you reduce the percentage of chromium it could ... | |
| Newbie question about reversing Phase?? Dc2, there was a previous discussion of this. I had always thought as you do that the contact with direct current should be an outward push of the driver. Now I am less certain. Consider the microphone and the initial impulse of a horn. The microp... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? 4yanx, you concerned me as my Shure is too shinny to be aluminum. It is not magnetic, however. | |
| Anyone Tried Audiotop Stylus Cleaner? Dougdeacon, as I had never heard it, you can believe that it took me a long time to buy it. I still think it is grossly overpriced, but I cannot argue with the results. I wish someone would reverse engineer it and come out with it at a much lower ... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? Eldartford, my arm is spring loaded, the Ortofon, in this case the spring load would be off by more than you suggest. Generally, I agree that your ears are the better gauge, but there are interactions with VTA to consider also. The Ortofon cartrid... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? Elizabeth, some tracking force scales make much out of testing tracking weight at record surface height. These scales seem to be .6 and .75 inches thick. Do you make any effort to somehow test tracking force at record height? Do you have the 50 gr... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? What brand is it? | |
| Anyone Tried Audiotop Stylus Cleaner? All that I can assume is that the stylus better follows the grooves, and I agree that this would seem most likely for high frequencies. Maybe because the stylus has to move long distances on bass. It is quite obvious. I know this stuff is too expe... | |
| Anyone Tried Audiotop Stylus Cleaner? Or it is better. | |
| Anyone Tried Audiotop Stylus Cleaner? I went out and bought the Magic Eraser. I had thoughly cleaned the stylus with the Mozno Zero Dust and played the record. I then cleaned it with the Magic Eraser and replayed it. I heard no improvement. I then used the AudioTop stylus cleaner and ... |
