| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. @lewm 105 dB at US frequencies. It's only a bit noisy at the 80 KHz setting, while irritating at 37. Still, nowhere near 105. | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? @dave_b "there is also a lot of well educated imbeciles babbling in institutions."Yeah, whatever, Dave. Amazing reasoning. Sure does sound like you know best. | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? Ieales is right. Just plain right.Take, for example, my ESL speakers. They come with a resistor in series with the cable to tune the transformer. So, you might ask, why bother with an ultra-low resistance cable? Answer: you shouldn't. You should l... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. @lewm My Elmasonic is specced at < 105dB at 1 meter, with the cover on; that’s one hell of a lot of sound power in an enclosed space. And of course the cover is not on when cleaning vinyl.It would depend on the middle ears’ being able to transm... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. Hemoncdoc, I always use ear protection near an US machine. | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. I have cleaned thousands of records with my US setup. What I hear is a reduction in high frequency content - but it is the hf NOISE which is gone. Like the hf tizz which is characteristic of low quality capacitors or resistors.The US cleaning thre... | |

| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Panzerholz. Delrin. These are the two relatively commonplace materials with very low resonance. Other materials are far behind.Note the words ’low resonance’. That is the property of absorbing vibration so as to not ring.Both panzerholz and delrin... | |
| Lost all hearing in one ear, is it worth upgrading speakers? If your other ear is stable, I don't see why you couldn't optimize your speakers for the hearing you have left. But the criteria may be different - if you can't perceive soundstage, you don't have to accept a tradeoff in order to get it.I suggest ... | |
| Inherited amp Looks like a nice piece. Someone took pride in that! | |
| Importance of power cable for Turntable? With all due respect to previous posters, I would not mess around with a power cord. I suggest the best TT power supply that you can afford. Comes with a cord. Nottingham's Wave Mechanic is very good, Walker is said to be good (for AC synchronous ... | |
| I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire Well said, Elizabeth. | |
| I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire Twenty foot cables are long enough for the topology to matter. According to the Maxwell Equations, inductance is your enemy for speaker cables, and you don't have to worry about capacitance. That means speaker cables which consist of two ribbons f... | |
