Canare 4S11"G" now available! Thanks for the note, @mofimadness . Always nice to have options from a first class source like Canare.. As I understand it, oxygen changes the crystalline structure of the copper cable. OFC has fewer crystal boundaries for the signal to cross. I... | |
Perfect Vinyl Forever @wolfie62 You write, "So your ASSUMPTIONS about my unit are way off base! " I made NO assumptions. I shared three possible reasons for your getting different results. Why so angry? Why so defensive? And again, "You don’t have the expertise to ... | |
Perfect Vinyl Forever @wolfie62 Dogberry is right. US can't cure abused records, but US gets the most from the records you have. I run a high power lab unit at 80KHz, 2 records at a time. If you fill a low power unit running at 40 KHz with 10 records, you won't get m... | |
Grado Epoch 3 It's really interesting to hear your thoughts on how the Epoch's sound changes with use. After 300 hours on the Koetsu it sounded glorious, so I foolishly decided to use a 'flux-busting' record to "improve" it. All that happened was that the soun... | |
Grado Epoch 3 I agree about SUT's, BUT only with a few phono stages. I made up boxes for Sowter (superb value) and Lundahl silver / amorphous core (extreme performance) transformers and was very happy until I tried direct amplification. The Lundahl's were ALMOS... | |
$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Mr. Prentice wrote, "I found that carefully chosen component at each level sounds better than the last… so a $80K system will sound very significantly better than a $40K system and not nearly as good as a $160K." I bolded the contentious part. Pe... | |
Original Quads (57) - the perfect amp If you have any DIY skills, consider these. I made half a dozen of them - and still use two of them in my HT, running Magnepan MMW. Clear, musical sound and dirt cheap. The better the parts, the better they sound. https://sound-au.com/tcaas/jlhes... | |
Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured? If you trust my memory!! | |
Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured? @simonmoon Sorry, it was told to me by an anthropologist when I was a grad student, IIRC. So no reference. | |
Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured? Thanks @macg19 . Glad it was useful to someone. | |
Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured? Very difficult, unless you finesse the problem by tying your measurement to a known physical measure such as time. An anthropologist set up a boom box in a jungle and invited some villagers to come and listen. When he played Mozart, they wept. Wh... | |
Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured? By definition, a phenomenon is measured whenever numbers are attached to manifestations of that phenomenon. Unfortunately, that process is amongst the most intellectually difficult enterprises known to man. The trouble is, everyone thinks he can ... | |
Bass only when I stand up… I had the same issue, but solved it with 2 auxiliary bass panels, DWM from Magnepan. YMMV | |
Cleaning audio components with 90% isopropyl alcohol No plastic parts, no epoxy, no finish, just for starters. | |
Cleaning audio components with 90% isopropyl alcohol One of the audio greats, Jonas Miller, who ran the ultra high end Jonas Miller Stereo in Beverley Hills, told me to NEVER use denatured alcohol, because there are many ways to denature alcohol. He pointed out that there is only one way to make hi... |
