| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable "...the isonoe feet that are made specialy for your 1200 stop the vibration before they enter the structure of the table..."I'm sure the Isonoes work well at isolating the table from external vibration. But Citation16 is talking about the resonant... | |
| Movies that featured High End equipment Any Russ Meyer flick! ;^)(Actually, "Mondo Topless" does feature a variety of great 60's transistor radios in closeup, not high end but way cool.)A Clockwork Orange: Dlh1948 beat me to it -- the inclusion of a piece of esoteric audio equipment mak... | |
| For the vinyl enthusiasts For LP's (not classical) in suburban DC/Maryland, Joe's Record Paradise in Rockville. | |
| "The Greatest Record Man of All Time" Thanks for the tip, that sounds like a must read. | |
| What is flat impedance? The impedance curve, as it relates to driveability, also has to do with impedance phase angle vs. frequency (greater phase angle magnitude = a more "reactive" or tougher load, lower phase angle magnitude = a more "resistive" or milder load). In co... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? Tbg: Then I think the fact that the conductors happened to be carbon was probably incidental (assuming the metal shields were correctly grounded), maybe the overall design of the IC's you used in combination with your particular system configurati... | |
| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? I have to say, in response to Grateful, that the differences I've heard among different blank media (including Mitsui gold) have been a whole heck of a lot smaller than the "100% improvement" variety... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? Tbg: Yes, all-carbon cables can be more susceptible to hum (although it's of the induced environmental variety, not caused by a ground loop), and this is the result of the higher resistance of the shielding in combination with the run length and w... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? Tgb: I don't think that was Kevziek's argument, but regardless, since when is the expectation of agreement a prerequisite for posting one's opinion? Personally, I'm probably more likely to post my opinion if I think it it runs counter to the grain... | |
| Volume normalization between phono preamp and A/DC In the past when recording was done to tape, the input gain level was adjustable on the recorder to optimize the S/N ratio, but not usually the output level on the phonostage (as opposed to its overall gain level). Some standalone CD-R recorder de... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Well this was a useful education, I never knew the totality of what was in there because I never took it apart this far before.The hard plastic inner piece I was absolutely unaware of, and it's probably the single most massive part of the table. I... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Citation16: I haven't pried around inside my 1200 for quite a while, but I'm trying to envision what you're talking about. I thought the inner rubber casing of the cast-aluminum chassis was adhesively bonded to it, not mechanically fastened, and t... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? " Are you saying there is AC in the circuit beyond the rectifiers in the power supply?"All audio electrical signals are alternating current, as described by their frequency (DC = 0 Hz). | |
| Sneaky Pete Is Gone - R.I.P. Thank for the news and the link Onhwy61, very interesting stuff I didn't know in there (Gumby?!). I have to admit that no doubt I've heard Kleinow's work more than I really know or have paid attention to outside of the Burritos, but ain't that the... | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs Sorry I haven't read through the above responses if I'm repeating anything that's been said already, but as the 9-year owner of CS2.2's myself, I'd suggest maybe also checking out Thiel's latest iteration of the SCS, the SCS4. I haven't heard it y... |
