| I heard the $4000 Focal Utopia Headphones yesterday Beryllium is toxic, period. Skin contact usually only raises a rash, but forming the stuff is always left to specialty shops, which is why you can't just buy some to play with. Beryllium copper alloy is mostly copper, which is why it is safe to use. | |
| Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD's I see that I was preaching to the converted, Juke. Sorry about that. | |
| Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD's "only playing records" !!! Sumbuddy git a rope!I owned the SP8 and 10 - loved them both, with Atma-Sphere tube amps and Bryston SS. Then the DIY bug bit, and I found myself too old to roll tubes.If you must have tubes, consider Atma-Sphere. Their ... | |
| So you want to buy a turntable? Thanks sfar, mofi. Trust the New Yorker. | |
| Best DIY silver solder? Just a small point for future reference, Rocket. The term "silver solder" refers to a brazing process, using "solder" which flows at high temperature (450 C, 850 F) and up. The process is intermediate between soldering and welding. | |
| Doh, left system off all night Erik, I find the same thing with my Class A amps. They continue to improve (logarithmically) for about 10 hours, but are listenable after one. Oddly enough, the SS preamp is pretty stable after 5 minutes. | |
| Tapping on my table There are two issues here, IMO. First is the stability of the cabinet, which is a function of construction, TT mass, and the ratio of the height to the smaller of depth and width. The second is sinking transients to ground.The solution which I fou... | |
| Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers? ebm, if that comment was directed at me, I can say that a little experimentation and a little research are the keys. I have good imaging and depth, and a far better movie experience than any theatre short of IMAX. | |
| Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers? Yes. I put my flat panel right between, and 20 inches behind, two pairs of big new quads. I wanted the plane of the screen to be near the plane of the speakers to synchronize sound and motion. | |
| Treble panel for Quad 57 electostatic loudspeaker nyame, you are the best! | |
| Mogami wire quality? co, according to the physics (Maxwell's Equations), capacitance is the great enemy at line level, while inductance is the enemy for speaker cables (because current is so much higher at the speakers). So low capacitance for tonearm wire and interco... | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? "Salve Feste Dies", sealed promo copy, a Gregorian chant. Played on my all air diy TT. | |
| Resale value The only profit I ask for, is listening pleasure. The pleasure that one has experienced can never be taken away. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Wow, I'm in awe of you guys. Handling valuable records and cuing expensive cartridges is something I can just about handle when I'm stone cold sober. Yeah, a Cote Rotie would be nice, but the damage would not be. | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Logical, Rushton.May I suggest cleaning 30 previously cleaned records in new chemistry, under the new regimen? Then you will be able to see how much extra grunge comes off, as well as hear it. You may find that it's not worth the trouble - but I s... |
