| 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. | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 I think that Mulveling nailed it when he posted, "Maybe it could be argued that and a (possibly) more rigid stylus bonding could account for the improved sound over boron on the same cartridge, if the mass vs. stiffness is a wash :)"A photomicrogr... | |
| Best sub for music, Thanks Ralph! | |
| Best sub for music, @atmasphere , since JH raised the issue of amplification, what do you think? I'm getting what I think is good performance with an older Bryston SST.How important is the amplifier in a system of subs? |
