| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 01-14-15: Ddraudt.......Part of the scientific explanation would include quantum spin dipole movement of electrons plus electromagnetic theory at the atomic level.I imagine peoples eyes glazing over at this point....An excerpt of the simpler expli... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 01-11-15: Ddraudt.......Magnetic conduction pushes and pulls the electrons along AND tightens the electron flow toward the center of the conductor.How? This may be beyond the scope of this discussion, but can anyone with a scientific bent explain ... | |
| How good are the Rega RP6 RCAconnectors? I don't know about the Rega or Furutech 126 connectors, but I was amazed at the improvement in sound when I substituted Eichmann bullet plugs on my Silver Audio phono cable. The bullet plugs were the fairly low cost copper/gold plated version and ... | |
| Phono Preamp? Looking at the internal photo of your amp it appears you already have a phono stage with 'guts' similar to most $1K (or more) external units. I wouldn't under-rate what you have.I've got plugin phono cards for my Rowland preamp which offer outrage... | |
| Windfield Cartridge Mulveling, I have not heard the Cadenza Bronze but by all accounts it is a fine, essentially neutral, cartridge with a dash of warmth. If the Bronze seems ideal to you in your system, then perhaps the Black would be less ideal.I didn't found the J... | |
| Windfield Cartridge 12-29-14: PopsThanks David, I have many years of enjoyment with the Jubilee, once I work out a couple of system changes the cartridge will be next. I have used the jubilee almost a lifetime in audiophile years!Pops, I've had 2 Jubilee's and rate i... | |
| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 47ghibli, what about just adding a subwoofer to your C7's? .might be the most cost effective option and you retain the Harbeth midrange.I owned the C7's for a couple of years before moving on to the Harbeth M30.1's - absolutely love them. Bottom o... | |
| Pass Labs Xs preamplifier VS. XP-30 The Anthony Cordesman TAS review compares the XS to XP-30.He concludes its better. But in my reading of the review, it seems you're paying a lot of $'s for that last 1% of improvement.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/pass-xs-preamp-and-xs-... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? 07-21-14: MilpaiI will keep the unit on for the whole night and see if that makes a difference. I am not sure if that extra circuit for the "BP" in the JC-2 is making it sound different than what the reviews for the standard JC-2 says.There isn't ... | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Blue, Black I recently purchased the Black to replace to replace my heavily used Jubilee. The Black is outstanding on all types of music. I posted a short review here. | |
| denon 103/wood, benz glider, AT ptg33, or AK audio I know the AT PTG-II has a lot of fans, but I never really warmed to it in my system. I also tried the AT OC9-II - which sounded similar to the PTG in many ways, though perhaps not as well balanced. The sticking point for me with the AT cartridges... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Actusreus, I think it's at least plausible that the Discovery wire could be 'better' sounding in the VPI arm. Without comparing the two, how would you know? One presumes Harry did this comparison before going with the Discovery(?).FWIW, the Discov... | |
| Phantom + A90 question I've just finished a nightshift and my thinking may be faulty but....I seem to recall that the idea behind the ridges on the Ortofon MC's was to allow for azimuth adjustment on arms that didn't provide that adjustment - ie tightening bolts such th... | |
| Phantom + A90 question Doug, you may be right but its not something I ever lost sleep over when I used the A90 with the Phantom.The A90, and other similarly designed Ortofon cartridges, actually have 5 contact points when you think about it - the 3 raised ridges + the 2... | |
| Phantom + A90 question I wondered about the same thing when I was using the A90 with the Phantom. In my setup two of the ridges are in contact with the Phantom headshell while the left rear ridge is completely outside the headshell area - see this pic.The same situation... |
