| Digital interconnect for analog. Is 110 ohms too much for analog cable? You could name the amps, it might help work out what you’re on about. Imagine posts in other threads you might have made haven’t been read by everyone reading this one. | |
| Upgrade path direction A project debut is a pretty low rent turntable to be upping the phono stage on, which would indicate you’re intent on taking vinyl seriously. Suggest you hear a few alternative decks. A bit hard to hide from the wife though. | |
| Excessive gain with a Belles preamp The high gain amps were there first, it’s digital that’s at fault. | |
| Almost equality Just don’t get tempted to upgrade the turntable, unless you feel it needs an edge to be worth the bother of using it and taking care if all those records. | |
| Volume matched inputs on a preamp? Naim’s NAC112 and 112x and Nait 5 do this but they’re possibly their least exciting amps. I had a Nait 5 but only for a month before trading it. Some people like them I’ve heard. | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl Not at €144 for the vinyl, qobuz will have to do for now. | |
| tone arm with 10gr mass with 15 gram weight cartridge? With a well tempered you have variable damping to play with too, the raw resonance calculated for an undamped arm using the common formula won’t be the whole story. http:// korfaudio.com/blog70 | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? Speaker setup plays a big part. Do a search for Sumiko Masterset and give it a go, all it will cost is time. Cartridge wise a Transfiguration isn’t a bad place to be but when setting up a unipivot arm measure VTF at record surface height, or if y... | |
| Artemis Labs SA-1 Turntable anyone? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/anyone-experienced-speed-issues-with-artemis-labs-sa-1?highlight=Anyone%2Bexperienced%2Bspeed%2Bissues%2Bwith%2BArtemis%2BLabs%2BSA-1%3F | |
| Artemis Labs SA-1 Turntable anyone? Love mine but see the thread Anyone experienced speed issues with Artemis Labs SA-1? I’ve not had trouble since and it gets daily use. | |
| Using a mono speaker instead of stereo? I can think of many advantages for mono in a domestic environment. Stereo needs to be the first consideration when setting up a room if it’s to be done right, especially if you have more than one person listening ad require a broad sweet spot. Liv... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Eclipse maybe? The TD307 probably for a desk but there are larger models. | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? The system components give you potential, realising it is another matter. At least that’s been my experience. I’ve tried Sumiko Masterset for speaker placement but always get lost after the first speaker is set, nevertheless I did achieve its go... | |
| Anti-skate problem with Rega RB303 tonearm My rega applied rather too much antiskate if set to match tracking weight, enough that it skewed the cantilever after a while. Setting it to about half was more realistic, or use a test disc. | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. I’ve run my SPU Royal N at ~3g and on my worst wavy warped records it’s failed to leave the groove or even produce audible mis tracking. As I mentioned above My arm in its heaviest form has an effective mass of 18g, the cartridge and adaptor weigh... |
