| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas "live MUSIC main characteristic that is its natural continuous flow” thanks Raul for `very fundamental question! some technical points to watch to achieve it: 1) very important for realistic sound is a phase information of different... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @rodman99999 +1 thanks! more proven variables to consider: room temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, number of people… I found one big variables in my room how sofa cushions are placed, which affects room acoustics a lot :-) | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @rodman99999 thanks for sharing your sense of humor! Being decades experienced analog design engineer, including designing devices for high volume markets (100M +), I also carefully select devices/cables/sound-sources/tracks for enjoyment! As of b... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @agisthos "Burn your power cables” I would add bank acct. to post too! | |
| Technics SL 1200 GR @prashanth14485 SL1200GR is like BMW with small motor.. go to SL1200G and enjoy the music! there are plenty of good carts to comply with SL1200G ARM. | |
| Should I get an SL-1200G @jmeyers "The SL 1200G is one helluva value!” +1 @atmasphere "The tricky variable is the platter pad” agree! I found old Technics SP10MK2 mat (NOS) is the best for 1200G! other good mats to try are thick SL1200MK4, and heavy Denon pad, sorry, d... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas great arms + headshells + carts don’t need damping! “rattling” arms, not maintained, lose/damaged bearings etc, can be band-aided by adding damping. it’s similar to speakers, not resonating by design cabinets need less damping than re... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @audphile1 "I use high quality power cords” understand! the problem with “high quality cords” is a different understanding of key performance and reliability metrics. for example extreme high contact pressure and the same time small effective co... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @ifrmusic thanks for asking Accuphase support! being advanced analog circuit designer it’s not hard for me to estimate AB class amp linear (A class) range, sorry for not explaining to you all boring details of my calculation, which could be length... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @jfrmusic it was noted here in my post above.. you may ask Accuphase support and update us on their detailed spec details for this AB amp design! | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @jfrmusic spec with design details for p4600 https://www.accuphase.com/cat/p-4600_e.pdf | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @audiophile1 "And who inspects IEC connectors in their components under the microscope? “ ppl who care about value of their gears? | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @jfrmusic 6 transistors / leg, 12 total pnp-npn power devices per channel. I calculated A class wattage using p4600 schematic. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @jfrmusic I looked amp spec and schematics. A/B class P4600 increased idle power and number of output transistors to 12 in each channel, matching their A class amps. 20W is estimate of peak power for linear output transistors range, for both chann... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @jfrmusic Accuphase output meters are accurate, you drive y’r amp at very low power, accordingly to Accuphase design P4600 is a class A amp till ~20W. You may crank it up to the max to see full power range! |
