| Annoying trend? New vinyl equalization and compression @stratmosphere Thanks! | |
| Cable management....crossing at right angles or @mitch2 nice If you are using shielding, it's best to ground it. | |
| One key to building great systems over time. Agreed ghd. Buy it once and buy it right. You get nothing much in trade-in - but prioritize. Bang for buck. Speakers first, cables a distant last. Used everything unless you fall in love - like I did with Magnepan Tympani 1A, and I wish I still ha... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals I wouldn’t do that, nor use fuses not recommended by he factory. But if you must, why not add a crowbar circuit just for insurance? Doesn’t have to be exotic: just a twisted pair of 20 AWG insulated wire with heat shrink to insulate each end. Con... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge I find that electrolytic capacitors in the signal path can give a nasty, almost digital glare to the higher frequencies. Could it be that there are electrolytics in your speaker crossover? I upgraded the crossovers in my neighbour’s higher end bo... | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 Very wise. Good luck! | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum My impression (as a patent holder) is that patents ain't what they used to be. But I understand your position - I'm ambivalent about giving up the best of my own developments. In my case, it's probably just nostalgia. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn I wasn't talking about the Reed system, I was talking about mine. Wood or wood-like composite all the way. Similar speeds of sound in each material reduce reflections. So what is your own thing? | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Interesting cartridge connection scheme. Very similar to my own solution, except that instead of the cartridge on a plate, the cartridge is on its own wand, so that the cartridge can be matched to the appropriate wand. Also, VTA, VTF, Az... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac Looked up the links, thank you. The researchers used pampas grass fibres, interestingly. These seem to have been harvested from the stalks, much denser than what I used, The stalks are about 15% the density of a fibre bundle, and more rig... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac Ah yes, Panzerholz. It's the best commercially available material that I know of. See, for example, the Reed website. Researchers in Europe, (Netherlands? Germany?) like GLARE, an acronym for Glass Laminate Aluminum Reinforced Epoxy, whic... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac So glad that you, at least, are interested. I'll keep you posted - been looking to see what it would take to modify an old pressure cooker. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum From 09:01, on the 12th, "Pampas grass can make a great tonearm wand. Ugly yes - I’m working on that." Sorry for sharing my prototypes, but I thought others might be interested. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Depends on your aesthetic. If looking pretty concerns you most, then pretty you will have, but performance will be hit and miss - a commonplace in the audio world. If, however, sounding good concerns you most, you will start with good sound and ev... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac Thank you for the kind words. And far more, thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. I am running a linear tracker, so the horizontal effective mass is the mass of the whole assembly. This is about 200 g - the mass of the air bushing a... |
