| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question Lvk47, I thought I had posted this, but I guess not.Take a D cell battery and connect the bottom to one of the leads to the drivers. Then just touch the top + of the battery to the other lead. If the driver moves forward that is the red or hot end... | |
| Record Cleaner perfectly well? | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod It was in my own system, but the UX-1 had to travel to get here and had only been on an hour.I think your estimate that most often the better unit will stand forward regardless of the system 8 times in 10 is wildly optimistic, unless we are limiti... | |
| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question It is probably the common confusion in the booklet as it is played "in" phase and then "out of" phase. If it is really one channel out of phase with the other, which channel would be reversed for "out of" phase? | |
| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question The test is for absolute phase or polarity not for one speaker being out of phase with the other. Only careless installation would have that happen. Changing the leads at the amp or at the speaker equally deal with change the absolute phase. Remem... | |
| Record Cleaner Yes, the Loricraft noticably better cleans record done with the others, especially if you use AudioTop Vinyl1 cleaner. | |
| To Loricraft users Actually, the original glass jar was a mayonase jar that they thought was a proper size. I would use glass, but you will have to do some work on the cap, of course.I thought the pull was to draw the arm outward. How can you use it from the outside... | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod Guidocorona, the Exemplar/Denon 3910 is by John Tucker and I know Steve has it also. It is curious thus that it was not included. Might it be better and not used for fear that it would be judged best?I still question, however, whether there is any... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Gregadd, if you believe H-Cat's designer, Roger Paul, all electronics substantially color music as some frequencies pass immediately and others are delayed, what he calls Dopler shifts. I have not heard his amp as yet but can indeed tell you that ... | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod Since 711smilin has the Exemplar/Denon 3910 which much impressed him, was it included in the shootout? If not, I think you guys missed an opportunity to hear the best universal player.I am mildly interested in shootouts, but think systems can grea... | |
| How low can one hear Huh?? Say again Get a signal generator and start out at 30 Hz and go lower. You will soon stop hearing the signal, and it will be replaced by feeling it, including in your ears as pressure fluctuations. | |
| Supratek ?? I had a Syrah about three years ago. I think it was the second in the country. It is very good, especially the 417A phono stage. There are several better units at about the same price, such as the Exemplar Exception II and the H-Cat P12A, which is... | |
| Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP? I think you should buy a Neuance shelf and support it on points on the corners. While I like Aurio 1.0 with tungsten carbide balls in many circumstances, on Neuance shelves they do nothing. Neither do RollerBalls with Grade 3 balls or anything els... | |
| Exposed metal on cable ends What is said above is not necessarily true. Many chasses are not grounded to the ground of the interconnects, but the interconnect grounds (left and right) are always connected together together. Therefore, these early posts are correct. | |
| Is hdcd worth having ?? The Denon 3910 with Exemplar mods. decodes HDCDs. I played Joni Mitchell last evening to my great satisfaction. It is great to once again have this capability. HDCDs are clearly superior to cds and are different in sound from sacds and dvdas. |
