Do magnets and electronics mix? Magnetics and electronics not only mix, but are inextricably inter-related. All AC signals on a wire are surrounded by a constantly expanding and contracting magnetic field, which is changed depending upon the conditions of the signal in the wire.... | |
TT interconnects and power cords Jrech makes some very good points there.I might suggest the VTA adjusting collar from OL or Expressimo also.Psychicanimal also makes a good point. But you will have to change the motor or get a different TT to upgrade in that area. | |
Seeking full range single driver speaker recs Some good suggestions might be Cain & Cain Abby w/ Fostex driversIf you are into DIY, you could do a similar cabinet called the Voigt Pipe with Lowther drivers.These are called "full range" speakers, but they actually omit the lowest octave fr... | |

Linn Basik Tonearm - effective mass? Andrew, glad everything worked out for the best. Enjoy! | |
Myrtle Wood Yes, or it could be helping to transmit vibrations away from it. It all depends upon the integrity and design of the load path for the vibrations to follow. The materials need to be selected properly to work with whatever design you are implementi... | |

goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant I can relate to the condition of used records, and have experienced many of the things you have. But the grunge and film from a used record, or even a new one, can be easily cleaned off with a record cleaning machine. This is really a mandatory ac... | |
Y-Connector with XLR ends for Bi-Amping? Sure, it's http://www.audiopoints.com There's a header bar across the top of the page that lists all of the StarSound products. Sonoran Cable is one of them. Just select on that. | |
Y-Connector with XLR ends for Bi-Amping? Sonoran has some very nice XLR Y-connectors starting at $125 per pair. Check their website for info on all of their high value resonance control cables. | |
Myrtle Wood I suppose it would depend upon the actual preamp being used, and its vibrational characteristics.Regarding vibrational characteristics of woods in general, as an acoustic guitar maker, I can say that the harder, denser woods will transmit vibratio... | |

MMF 2.1 - next upgrade path? Advice - Keep your present cartridge. The cartridge you have in your arm now is probably better, and certainly less troublesome than what you are considering.Your present phono stage is fine for now too. You won't get anything appreciably better f... |
