| Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl @audionoobie re: @williewonka how can I tell if the bearings have any play in them? Not sure what you’re referring to. Simply hold the arm between thumb and finger and gently push/pull the arm - if there is play you will feel a slight movement or ... | |
| Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl @audionoobie RE: But the main source is feedback exciting the natural stylus/arm resonance between 7 and 12 hz. If this is the case try placing a small amount of bluetac or silly putty on the heard/arm and recalibrate the stylus down force ... | |
| Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl @audionoobie - Some questions:Do the woofers visibly pulse in and out i.e. you can see the movementIs the "shaking" consistent for every albumare the albums warped, so the pulsing matches the album warps is the platter free from warpsis the bearin... | |
| A budget power cord has speed and transparent but not overly bright. @thyname - thanks for posting this link - this is a very interesting power cable indeed and for such a complex fabrications technique seems very affordable. Even the silver version is reasonably pricedFYI: I am into cable geometry and there is a l... | |
| New speaker cables recommendations sought @teh_chucksta - I first heard of this very problem when I purchased my NAIM amp. Naim had this phenom documented on their web siteNAIM designed the low capacitance NACA5 cables (16.5 pf/meter) for their amps, just to avoid this issue with their am... | |
| Tube vs solid state (with all apologies) @smolder - If you get the RIGHT tube amp (and there are many) you will be happyyou can try different tubes - tube rolling - to tailor the soundManley make some nice amps, but there are many othersMy foray into tubes was a disaster, but I relied on... | |

| Two Cables From One? I was under the impression that the jacket would hold the spiral? Depends how you handle the cables when unplugging and whether the cable clamp (i.e. integrated into the plug) is holding onto the sleeve securely.Some audiophiles can be a bit "h... | |
| New speaker cables recommendations sought For branded cables be aware that some high current solid state amp designs can go into an oscillation state when used with speaker cables having a very high capacitance, which can result in damage to the internal circuitsI have witnessed this with... | |
| Two Cables From One? The V14 looks to have a spiraled geometry so whatever wire(s) form that spiral they would have to be unwound and the cable clamp would have to be secure enough to prevent the spiral from unwinding further during use.You would have to ensure you ma... | |
