| How good are "Oppo" players? I have the very cheapest one for use in my "tv room" and I like it fine. I mostly bought it to get the video upconversion and don't use it as a music player but I took it to a friends house and he liked it so much that he got the next model up fro... | |
| Sonic footprint of the Esoteric DV-50s with CD's My DV-50 replaced a Theta Gen Va 24/96 and Theta Data transport. Overall sound is a little brighter than the Theta gear but not in a bad way. | |
| Inventory of vinyl - what software do you use? I am still using a program called Audiofile which was reviewed in Stereophile many years ago.Here are some of the issues I've run into. The biggest issue is that the author of the program walked away from it a few years ago. I asked if, since he w... | |
| PS Audio Noise Harvester Electroid,You may be mis-interpreting my comments. The rolloff of high frequency is on the power line, not on the reproduction of the recording. Yes, I can easily believe that if the RFI is reduced on your power lines that this would translate to ... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Interestingl little thread. Let me see if I can stir the pot a little. If I need to replace a fuse every 6 months, what about the rest of the power supply? For that matter, maybe I need to replace my whole stereo every 6 months.As to directionalit... | |
| PS Audio Noise Harvester Well, from the comments about the guy that cut one open, it is probably a parallel line filter. The usual reason for combining 3 or 4 caps in parallel is to reduce ESR (equivalent series resistance) which also changes the resonant point of the cir... | |
| How much fine tuning required on cartridge loading I've been playing with cartridge loading recently. I use a Sutherland Phd phono stage. I decided to experiment with the effect replacing the stock resistors might have. I'm now listening to my first attempt at this using Vishay resistors.There is ... | |
| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? Since starting this thread I have had the opportunity to try a Halcyonics Miro 40 in my system. I have started with it under my Universal player just because it was a lot easier to set it up there. Results are superb. Best bass I've ever had. Exce... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Grado PH-1 Preamp I have a black cube SE that will be up for sale soon. I've replaced all the electrolytics with black gate. | |
| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? Whart,You asked about HRS. I'm not familiar with this. Can you provide more info, a website, anything? | |
| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? I have ordered two Grand Master supports from Critical Mass. I am told it will take 10 to 12 weeks to build them. Don't know if this is typical for every order or if other orders ahead of me are causing a delay. I have been searching for more info... | |
| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? Thanks for all the responses. It sounds like both MinusK and Critical Mass have been compared to Vibraplane and both bettered it. It doesn't sound like anyone has directly compared MinusK to Critical Mass. I know that Critical Mass has three model... | |
| Best phono pre amp for Lyra Helikon I went home to experiment with the loading on my Helikon which I had been using at 47K. My phono is currently set up for 100, 200, 1K, and 47K.The 25 x output impedance suggests 137.5 ohms.I tried 200 and there was a little more bass but the sound... | |
| Helikon LOADING After reading this thread I went home to experiment with the loading on my Helikon which I had been using at 47K. My phono is currently set up for 100, 200, 1K, and 47K.The 25 x output impedance suggests 137.5 ohms.I tried 200 and there was a litt... | |
| Best phono pre amp for Lyra Helikon Thomasheisig,A previous thread in the analog list discussed the correct loading for a Helikon and the general consensus was a rule of thumb loading of 25 times the output impedance of the cartridge. In the case of the Helikon that would be 137.5 o... |
