| Game Changing Tweak @wolfie62 Why so hostile, Wolfie? We were discussing residential AC power, which varies greatly from place to place. Pwera introduced an equation which relates to that. Those who know Fourier analysis are enriched thereby - those who do not are to... | |
| Game Changing Tweak @wolfie @pwerheraI think technical information is useful. There's altogether too much opinion, however confidently expressed, without the technical knowledge to back it up. On this site, anyhow.IMOSo I welcome pwerahera's contribution. It's lucid... | |
| Game Changing Tweak Not true, Mijo. | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. I agree with Lewm about the cartridge / tonearm combination. Also, that TT's are pretty much independent of either.So why not spend the money where you can be sure of good results? That is, the TT. | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Thing is, turntables don’t wear out after 1000 hours. Neither do tonearms. So look at TT, tonearm, and cartridge costs over 10 years.For the record, I had a 10K belt drive TT. Then I built my DIY air bearing TT. Same tonearm on each table. The air... | |
| Need copper speaker cable recommendations $300 ish Make your own and spend $600 on something else. For short runs it makes little difference until you're spending 4 figures on both amp and speakers. IMO. YMMV | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) According to the simulations done by the School of Acoustics at Salford, your room is almost exactly a foot too long. I suggest putting in shelving on one end, books or records, just make sure that the irregular surface (records) presented to the ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @antinn Thanks Neil ! | |
| New Turntable Direction I was a less committed Linnie when I discovered Nottingham Analogue.Long long ago I auditioned quite a bit, but whenever I auditioned the latest and greatest LP12, it was never that much better than my Basic. Maybe it was setup, or I had an except... | |
| Newbie to the awesome audiophile world Consider headphones. You can get a lot of sound for a few dollars that way. | |
| Newbie to the awesome audiophile world Welcome!I suggest that you go around the retailers and listen, listen, listen. Visit a high end store too - they may just treat you a whole lot better than the chain stores - at least, that's my experience. And they often have used/demo equipment ... | |
| Need some turntable guidance Bryston is fine gear, but a 3B is a 40 year old design! That's the first of five Bryston generations. Twenty years ago I had a 3BSST and 4BSST and they sounded very well with Magnepans, but my 3B was only usable for HT.That's your first improvemen... | |
| Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active I completely agree with Raul with one important exception: "(the first posts in the thread are wrong ...)". I think that Raul has misunderstood them.Also consider Sowter transformers. They aren't up with the big Lundahls, but they cost a tenth as ... | |
| Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active I used a Lundahl amorphous core silver transformer and liked it very much. As Mulveling said, they are not as warm as some others - but the clarity! Then I built my own phono/pre, and built a lot of gain into it, so now run my Koetsu platinum dire... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @antinn The Tiger-Cloth arrived last week. Wonderful! Soft, adsorbent, easy to use. Can't imagine doing without.Thanks ! |
