| Polarity Invertng Rogue 66 W Bryston 4BST Some folks claim detail can be lost if polarity is inverted. Although I myself have strong doubts about the true audibility of phase inversion (even though I do the same correction for my C-J preamp), it would be best to go ahead and follow the ma... | |
| Talk About Static Cling... So it seems that static pervades the universe... | |
| Talk About Static Cling... Neither the dryer sheet, nor the Endust -nor anything like them that would leave a residue - should ever touch the record, Mr. D. But what about everyone here's getting together to develop a vacuum chamber for LP playback? No air, no static - and ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says? Though I'm not familiar with the unit Warren is talking about, I will say concerning power conditiong that of all my source compenents, by far the most marked differences to be heard were realized with my digital separates. But an equally importan... | |
| Talk About Static Cling... Ya know, the anti-static treatment that RCA touted in their vinyl formula back during the 50's & 60's really does seem to work. Is there something missing from newer vinyl formulations that should be reconsidered? It does seem to me that my mo... | |
| Talk About Static Cling... Which cartridge is used probably shouldn't make any difference, as the cart connection is always grounded if your ground lead from the TT is properly terminated. As for why conductive objects around the area may provoke no static discharge when to... | |
| What happened to Jonathan Scull? Sorry folks, but I just haven't been able to think up a more *LOFT-Y* response! | |
| What happened to Jonathan Scull? HE'S BEEN TWEAKED WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE!!! | |
| Talk About Static Cling... Providing a drain wire to ground (should probably be the same gound as the cartridge employs, such as the phono preamp ground post) from the platter bearing, as TWL suggests, may be of some help, but I'm guessing the mat might effectively insulate... | |
| What happened to Jonathan Scull? Ever the *bon vivant* & *gourmand* of insatiable *lustings* that we knew (and *nearly* could grow to love, if not for his *devilishly* inadvisable affair with all things *italicized*), J-10 tragically came to his demise whilst dining a little ... | |
| Electro Harmonix valves vs... It's hard to get a straight story about any differences between Sovtek and E-H branded tubes, but I generally assume they're the same tube with different logos and boxes - after all, they're made on the same line in the same factory, and they look... | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says? Who knows (I wouldn't), it may be. You'll just have to go and listen. But keep two things in mind until then: Tellig is, and always has been, the foremost cheerleader for this brand; and even he hasn't compared every available option out there whe... | |
| Carmina Burana LP. Thanks for the tip - none of the copies of various pressings and performances of this work that I've tried have done it for me in the way that an NPR "In Performance" live broadcast from the Kennedy Center here in DC circa last year did. (Was this... | |
| NOS Tubes inferior? I own C-J for both my amp and preamp, and although the models I have don't use the 6922 tube found in the '17, I will tell you that in my experience, C-J picks their tubes primarily for reliability of supply and for longevity, rather than strictly... | |
| What DAC should I buy? This thread got way under my skin, I guess, because I just broke down and purchased (here on the 'Gon, natch) an MSB Gold Link III DAC w/P1000 Power Base, which is the dual-chip per channel, top-line model of the Link with standard 24/96 upsamplin... |
