| New TT, Arm and MC Cartridge A vision deficiency changes everything - forget what I said. I would go with the most robust system your dealer can provide and set up.All the best. | |
| New TT, Arm and MC Cartridge Sorry for your loss, but I think that your response is splendid.I use the TransFi Terminator tonearm, a hybrid air bearing / mechanical pivot linear tracker. At $1000 or so it's the best value in high end - I don't think you can buy a better one f... | |
| Listening Descriptor Chart @djones51 Thanks! | |
| Listening Descriptor Chart VERY interesting. Thank you Spencer and Mapman. | |
| How important is it to have identical speaker cable length? Just for devilment: what do you do with the extra cable on one side? Coil it? No, that adds inductance ...Drape it over an iron railing? More inductance ...Route it beside power cords? No, that adds a 60Hz component ... | |
| High-pass line filter to relieve main speakers from low frequency That's right Tom, analogue crossovers introduce phase shift. But, as Sd40 points out, 24 dB crossovers don't; then again, 24dB crossovers do retard the signal by 1 complete cycle at the crossover frequency. Actually, that's an oversimplification a... | |
| How long does Class A have? @clearthinker Yeh, Greta and her type want you and your type to be around in 100 years. Can't imagine what her motives are. | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Oldaudiophile, in case you did not know it, @antinn is a high class expert on cleaning technologies.For relatively clean records I use 80KHz exclusively, although I have used 37KHz on some very dirty specimens with good results. Temperature is an ... | |
| Time to upgrade my turntable? I found that record cleaning was a very cost effective upgrade. Two benefits:(1) better sound, actually a lot better(2) longer stylus life. My Koetsu showed minimal wear (photomicrograph) at 1000 hours.Just might be better to have clean records wh... | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? If it’s petrolatum based, beware of using on connections which get hot. Like tubes. | |
| Do you stop the turntable or let it spin while you run e record brush I clean ultrasonically, so that only a small amount of surface dust remains. I get rid of this by1. platter and record powered up to speed2. flop a corner of 'Tiger cloth' conductive microfibre on the moving record for 2 rotationsGood luck! | |
| Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners Sounds like a motor problem.Have you lifted the motor pod by the motor pulley? If so, the motor may be gone.If not, carefully position the motor where it's accessible, LIGHTLY grasp the pulley and LIGHTLY try to move it back and forth. Do not atte... | |
| Casters to replace spikes Don't be misled by silly opinions, like "NO spikes".If your speakers rest on a concrete floor, you can't do better than to couple the speakers to the floor as solidly as possible. Spikes lead to more adjustability than concrete bolts, so spikes ar... | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? Thank you Jea. Nice display of patience. | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? Just one problem with an ungrounded isolation transformer: some manufacturers ground a metal case to the ground pin, and count on it to prevent electrocution in the event of malfunction.Don’t get me wrong - I use isolation transformers for everyth... |
