| mc cartridge loading The rules in audio are like the rules in economics. Everyone likes to believe they have the answers but the outcome varies because we Do Not know all the variables.In regards to your ears not being the ultimate test well that is exactly what they... | |
| mc cartridge loading In all the years I have been reading and talking to engineers who are involved with step up trans and carts this is the first time I ever heard this.You can argue that the best impedance match on paper might not be the best sounding one. But ther... | |
| Kind of Wow and Flutter. You speak of this huge flaw yet every format had kind of blue. What tables are you using. Do you have heavy mass platter and speed controller?I do have the corrected version lp and I don't remember it being that different. Do you have any other... | |
| Trafomatic Audio Luna LCR phonostage Pani Loading a cartridge has to be done regardless of sut. Most people add one on a mm phono which normally has a 47k load. So the transformer is now loaded on the secondary. So now the load on the cart is affected by the turn ratio of the tran... | |
| Trafomatic Audio Luna LCR phonostage LewmIt is fun to go through a mental process and or research. But when it is all said and done we have to listen to our decisions. The only reason I I posted was from Pani post it sounded like he could hear what interstages could do.If you need ... | |
| Trafomatic Audio Luna LCR phonostage LewmI do not schematic software. But a quick over view. It is a 3 stage with the Riaa correction between the 1st and 2nd tube. The 3rd tube can be 2a3 1 to 1 out and still have low output impedance. Or your use a higher gain tube 2 to 1 step d... | |
| Trafomatic Audio Luna LCR phonostage Hi PaniI think you might have answered your own question somewhat. Besides all the number guys and their theory's you listen to interstage transformers and guess what it sounds like real music. Lcr same thing. I did not realize that someone had... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? The belt stuff you can get a at auto parts store. There are different brands. In regards to tubes listen to a all Direct Heated Triode tube system. Now we are talking real live music.If the solving to get around a certain size salom course had ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? The car example was related to things in the past are better than things today. Your example of a car pretty much built for the race track vs a car which meets smog, idles, gets pretty good gas mileage etc etc etc is not a good comparison. A be... | |
| So Long It's Been Good To Know Ya The problem with the comparison is they did not take a stand. Except the guy purchased the Phoenix units. That tells us he like something better about the phoenix stuff.I do own both the Eagle and Road Runner and they are great units. Very fle... | |
| So Long It's Been Good To Know Ya No long term speed adjustment. No phase splitting to get rid of cap on Hurst motor.That said it would be nice if we got to listen to a Walker,Phoenix, and both VPI's side by side. I am total non digital and transistor kind of guy. But we are ta... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI The phoenix stuff is great. The feedback from the rpm guage makes this a plug and play system. Once you decide on what voltage you want your motor to see it is automatic from there. I found another nice thing about having a rpm readout with .00... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Everyone likes to use car examples. The problem is they are seldom correct. Correct me if I am wrong, we are going to compare a Caterham 7 to a current formula 1 car.The reason we do not have the totality kick ass turntable for a reasonable pric... | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? Hi Ct0517Do you have a favorite string you use? I has been playing with 10-14 guage silk.Thanks Tom | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? You are no fun Richard!!! You stated the facts we can not measure it so now what are we going to debate about. The ones who want to bring in numbers all the time are the ones who gave us CD's, transistor amps and of course tilted up mc carts.We ... |
