| When someone listens to your system for the first time. @Builder, I think it’s mostly the 21KW exponential noise floor. It’ll handle a D7 Cat, not sure about the dog.But the Quietrock 545 and the exact dimensions may help a little. For exact dimensions, down to the nearest inch, go to the the tables pu... | |
| DIY cables question DIY? Good for you!First thing: do you live in a humid climate near the sea? If so, do NOT try to use unterminated cabling. The reason is that the salt air will oxidize the copper wire; if there is any air pollution, the problem will be worse. You... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? @tsushima1 VERY good. | |
| When someone listens to your system for the first time. The first comment comes before listening. It's about the quality of silence in the room. | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? Sorry tomic. Not directed at you. Getting crochetty in my old age. | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? @oldhvymecSo, "No it’s not complex" in your second sentence, and "Complex yes" in your last sentence. Who can argue with that? Guess you’re prepared to explain electronic oscillation? Those dumb engineers using complex numbers - what a bunch of du... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? Vibration is not a simple topic. It is far too complex for this forum. IMO | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! Seriously, resistors and capacitors. Nude Vishay resistors are my taste. MIT styrene and tin (RTX) caps are good if you can't design for air gap or vacuum. | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! The '05 Burgundies are beginning to mature. Now that's a tweek! | |
| Noise floors Room geometry also matters to one's perception of noise. No, I don't know why, but that's what I experience: the HT is just as quiet as the listening room, but it's a different sonic space. It's quite obvious the moment you enter. | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Thank you, Raul. | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 @rauliruegas They are not wrong, Raul. Boron and ruby are cheaper. Diamond is more expensive and harder to work. | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 No-one disputes that overall performance is the sum of parts. That’s a straw-man argument. And 'wobbly' is obviously relative.However, with plenty of evidence for the proposition that more rigidity is better (see, for example SS’s recommendation o... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Junctions make all the difference.A wobbly junction is not a rigid junction. The most rigid junction is diamond-to-diamond. A less rigid junction is diamond-to-anything.If we assume the a wobbly junction of stylus to cantilever is undesirable, and... | |
| Where do you put your money? DIY.Find the best available and see if you can build it for a price you can afford. Sometimes you can. |
