| balanced is inherently flawed Herman, I'm glad you took the time to write this post. I have made numerous short comments on the Single-Ended vs. Balanced issue, and I generally agree with you. However, I think it is more of an issue of what people think, that is flawed, than t... | |
| Searching for Fender Rhodes in Jazz or Fusion Bob James likes to use a Fender Rhodes quite a bit. He had a number of albums in the late 70's and early 80's. The "Theme from Taxi" was one of the more famous tunes he did with a Rhodes. | |
| teres battery option with gyrodec SE Chris, thanks for straightening me out on that one. | |
| teres battery option with gyrodec SE The Teres DC motor is 12vdc. Also, I believe that the Teres battery option has been discontinued, due to too much complexity in manufacturing.It will not work with a 24v motor, anyway.If you want to do a similar thing with your Gyro SE DC motor sy... | |
| Analog for SET based system My recommendation is well-known on this forum. I like the Teres turntables for the money. They have no suspension, so they are easy to set up and need no suspension tuning. They are quite immune to external vibration problems. They have an incredi... | |
| Grado Statement Series Well, Sid, the load on most transformers is set with resistors. This is also the case with active phono inputs. All that is required is the proper resistor. Probably some experimentation would be necessary for best sound. | |
| Grado Statement Series Ed,No problem with step-up transformers. They work great. You just need good quality, which is not cheap. Bent Audio is really nice. | |

| Grado Statement Series You can use a 20db phono step-up transformer, if you want to. You just have to make sure that you have the load set for the MM-type load that the Grado wants(47k). | |
| best tube integrated under $5000 ? If you need only one input, there are some amps that have volume controls built-in that can act as a single input integrated amp.One of these is the David Berning ZH-270. It is a 70wpc tube amp that is self-biasing, has very long tube life, excell... | |
| origin live silver or??? Hi.The OL Silver is a very good tonearm for the money. It can be bettered, but generally only for considerably more money. This is especially true if you plan to use low compliance cartridges. If you will use medium or higher compliance cartridges... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Actually, I'm not in very bad shape. I could use a couple more miles a day on the track. Thanks for the "promotional opportunity". | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? I agree, not much has really changed, and Sistrum continues to be at, or regularly contending for, the top position of the performance platform and racking category.When platform and racking systems get compared at the top of the heap, as to which... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Dawgbyte, I tend to agree with you that dynamic bass with accurate timbre is a good thing, and a certain amount is required for decent sound reproduction. Of course, I am not discounting bass response in total.My intent was to make remarks that po... | |
