| Cogging! The best way to demonstrate cogging is to spin the platter by hand, apply stylus to vinyl, and notice the sound. Then engage the motor. If the sound deteriorates in clarity or shows increased high frequency content, you have demonstrated cogging.... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? The description of sliding the record into place is perhaps inaccurate, only because it sounds tricky. It’s not tricky.The record must held on a slight angle and inserted into the space between the manifold beam / cue bar at the top, and the TT pl... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? Rich, I had both Quads and Magnepans in my music room. The Quad 2905's stayed.They are not shrill. | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? Quad 2905. Clarity without harshness (unless digital source, of course). | |
| Gryphon Integrated or Seperates for $20K Pre/Power budget? There is a Bryston thread which is current - every comment positive. | |
| BUY Bryston!!!!! @maguiar, I bought the 3BST and 4BST, running them with Magnepans and Martin-Logan hybrid ESL’s. They were clean and clear and easy to listen to. A little laid back - involving but not fatiguing. An amp to use and keep rather than an amp to wow an... | |
| BUY Bryston!!!!! When I was making a purchasing decision, I called Bryston to discuss. Reception put me through to the president. We spoke for nearly an hour.I bought Bryston. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Moment of Inertia is denoted by I and is the angular analogue of mass. It is defined as the sum of (mass of molecule x distance to pivot squared). This is approximated by an integral (calculus), which is easier to calculate.Thus, for a beam of jus... | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! First find the sound you like. No point trying to get great analogue sound if you crave digititis. Then allocate by bang per buck. And then, what @almarg said.You may find that some things give precious little bang for buck in the system you are ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Yes, my Elma is a dual frequency device, but I rarely use 37 KHz. 45C is warm, all right - but I find that, with my machine and its temperature sensor, nothing goes wrong until 52C. The test mentioned above, finished at considerably more than that... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @jtimothya Hello JT. What I was trying to say is, not only is there no evidence of damage from US, there is evidence of no damage from US. Since the latter is a stronger statement, perhaps it is more accurate in some sense. That’s all. Both Slaw a... | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware It's not hard to identify the material of nut and bolt. Identifying the exact alloy is very hard, but perhaps not essential. Best to assume industry standard alloys and published tables, and then take care not to exceed. Also (at the risk of ribal... | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware At 11:54, "Torque values have nothing to do with sound."At 3:23, "Of course these things matter. Of course they affect the sound."Yeah, sure, whatever, Mr. Miller. Goodbye. | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware Sleepwalker, thanks for the correction. I'm a little anal-retentive about tools since I saw a VP vaporize a prototype because of faulty instrumentation. | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware Fremer trusted it enough to use it, whatever his initial impression.Do you really think that the force holding two mating surfaces together has no impact on their dynamic behaviour? Really? Do you not think that variables such as material (plastic... |
