| Has The Maker ever seen yours? Since I am the "maker" of over half of my gear, the "maker" hears and sees the stuff every day. He always gives an approving nod, and sometimes gives things an additional tweak or two. Does this count? :^) | |
| mono lp replay?? do you set up another TT for it? I agree with Albert on both points. If you want to try it out, you could get a Lustre GST-801 tonearm w/detachable headshell, and get a Denon DL103 for stereo, and the Denon DL102 for mono. The DL102 is a mono-only version of the 103. There may be... | |
| Cartridge frequency response specs They are giving you the overall fequency response (wideband) in one spec(with no db tolerance shown)and also the linearity in the audio band(with db tolerance shown)with the other spec.Whether the wideband response is significant, is a matter of d... | |
| Would your system be different if ............? Albert, I did not even realize I was making an audiophile Zen koan. | |
| Vibration Tweaks We have to be careful with out generalizations here. Vibration in a tonearm or headshell or cartridge should be damped. If you allow it to vibrate, it will eliminate part of your pickup capabilities, and impart unwanted resonant sounds. No load pa... | |
| What is the next Phono Pre-Amp for me? An Aesthetix IO would be a very nice phono preamp to have. | |
| Interesting link on hifi stuff (2) Seandtaylor, I agree wholeheartedly with your point of view in this latest post of yours. And the crux of my agreement is that the consumer/audiophile should be well-versed and informed if he is to be spending his money on this hobby. Since this i... | |
| EAR 834P vs Plinius Jarrah anyone compare the two? As far as the tube noise goes, it depends on what level of gain you need. Higher gain, higher noise floor. Unless you have an amazing(and expensive) tube phono unit. So why do we use tube phono sections? They sound good. The EAR is a good tube uni... | |
| Phonomena vs. AcousTech PH-1 phono pre amp? I couldn't find any good spec material on the Musical Surroundings unit. I did find that the AcousTech unit has correct gain and loading for your Goldring cartridge, whether you have the high-output or low-output. It will match either way. I canno... | |
| Interesting link on hifi stuff (2) One of the problems I have with web sites and articles such as this, is that they portray the audiophile as a sap, who is just waiting for the next magic trick to sink his hard earned money into. I have found that much the opposite is true. The au... | |
| Hafler DH500 mods One of the most common mods is to increase the power supply filter caps for more dynamic headroom. Re-wire internally with Cardas Wire, and replace jacks with Cardas jacks. If the signal path caps are easy to get at, replacing those with some Blac... | |
| Interesting link on hifi stuff (2) Seandtaylor, I think that just having a couple of non-controversial points in his otherwise ludicrous essay is akin to putting a couple of drops of coffee in your poison to make it taste better. There is such total disregard for known fact in his ... | |
| Which cartridge for LP12/AKITO II/LINGO/Cirkus ? Miguel, my guess is that the Adikt is merely a OEM version of the Goldring 1012GX MM cartridge, that is made for Linn with a slightly different appearance. The stylus and other key specs are the same between the two cartridges. It is a good cartri... | |
| Outdoor antenna setup Sean, the earth's circumference is approximately 24,900 miles at the equator. This is where you will get the longest arc. If you divide 24,900 miles by 360 degrees, you get 69.16666 miles per degree. This is at the equator(longest arc) and is less... | |
| Interesting link on hifi stuff (2) I have just read the entire Ethan Winer website. I can tell you right now that this man has absolutely no clue. There was not one word on that site that was accurate. His attempt at technical reasoning is pure blather. The only thing I can conclud... |
