| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Dear Raul, it is ok, you don't have to disclose the test result; the test was meant for your own benefit only. Actually, we all know the answer already!You could feel the pressure created by the Telarc 1812's cannon shots in your system before, bu... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Dear @thekong : Look, I never said that air borne does not produce vibrations/distortions. In the other side, I already did it that test.Dear Raul, great! So, did you hearing complete silent or a faint sound of music through the headphone in that ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Makes no sense to me that you ask for some tests in my audio system when I have to prove you or any one else nothing at all.Dear Raul, of course you have no obligation to prove to me, or anyone else, it is your system after all! Only that you alwa... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Raul, instead of babbling on the same old things, probably better if you could finish your ideal tonearm and show the world you are right!It is 2017 already you know? How many years have past since you told members here the arm would be ready "NEX... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I see, still babbling on the same old viewpoint, yet avoiding direct question about your system’s distortion. Typical!You were, maybe still are, trying to develop a tonearm, so you must know a lot about how the tonearm / cartridge system works, a... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Oh Raul, if you perform the above test and come back telling us you really hear complete silence through the headphone, I would be very interested to learn how you / your system could achieve that!You were, maybe still are, trying to develop a ton... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I did it using Telarc 1812, Dafos and Firebird tracks not at 83db normal SPL but at 97dbs ( at seat position. ) with 109db on peaks and you know something: I can’t detect any vibration/resonance because that air borne.Really Raul? No vibration/... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 The location of your equipment between your speakers and the proximity of the speakers and subwoofers so close to the walls is a severe restriction on performance.Hi Dover, I agree completely with you assessment on Raul’s room / treatment, especia... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Also, we seem to be assuming that the stainless steel arm tube is completely empty save for the wiring. I don’t know that it doesn’t incorporate any sort of "stuffing" that might also contribute to damping.Hi Lewm,Here is an article by Thomas S... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Do you understand at least the complexity of what you are asking?Dear Raul, quite frankly, I am very disappointed! Being a distortion expert, you are still drilling on the distortion level of a single piece of equipment, when I was asking for the ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 - what kind of parameters take I in count to evaluate any home audio systems and its differences in between?: mainly the distortion levels, every kind of internal/external home audio system distortion.Raul, Always talking about distortion, but ca... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Lewm, thank you for the reply! Purely based on reading of reviews and posts, my speculation actually matches your ranking of the 3 units. It is just too bad that Atma-sphere doesn't have any agent in Hong Kong, I would love to have an audit... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Hi Lewm, can you give a brief comparison between the Steelhead and the phono sections of your Atma-sphere MP1 and the Aesthetix Janus? I am using the Aesthetix IO and thinking of getting an additional phonostage / preamp, the Steelhead and M... | |
| Balanced or single ended phono cable to Aesthetix Io? o_holter, I just got the idea from the Wavestream Deluxe Phono, which had similar arrangement, only that both input and loading jacks are RCA. In my system, I prefer 200 ohm with the Ortofon A90. | |
| Balanced or single ended phono cable to Aesthetix Io? Hi o_holter, sorry that I wasn’t clear on my description! Actually, there was no cable needed, I just got a pair of male XLR plugs, soldered a resistor of the required value to pin 2 and 3, then simply plugged them into the XLR phono input for l... |
