| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test I can appreciate that you were unconvinced before trying it out, John. But even in the case of that IEC connector, had I done the exact same 'test' myself, I would draw no conclusions because:1) there was no opportunity to repeat an A/B test once ... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test "Science is quite often 'crap'. Setting up a good sounding system is an 'art', and as an 'artist' I question your technique. Have fun with your 'test'." - Maxgain on 4/2, about EldartfordHey, at least Eldartford is doing a test. You, Max, apparent... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test All: Sorry to go off like this, but if you hadn't noticed, I haven't been posting to any new threads for what seems like two or three months now. So the audio pedant in me is a little on the bottled-up side. I have occasionally posted to threads I... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Thanks Eldartford for performing your tests and reporting your observations. In the other thread I laid out some of my conditions for what would constitute an ideal test design so I'm not going to recapitulate them here, but neither am I going to ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Speaking of what goes on behind the counterweight, that's where I would work on putting the fluid damping trough, to get the paddle farther from the pivot point than is normally possible on the platter side of things. (The Townsend trough-at-the-h... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Tom, just to clarify, what I wrote was intended to describe a tonearm having *not only* a conventional counterweight, but *also* side-weights mounted as you specify (I included the detail about bearing-axle concentricity, for instance) - *not* a c... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Double Bubble. It reinforces the effect of the divergent resonance points... :-)Tom, your technical analysis of what might constitute the optimum range of added lateral mass and why is a good deal more sophisticated than I could manage (not that I... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long I want to go just a bit further and break down just why I feel Tom's idea constitutes a intriguing and enlightening approach. In the past, before coming to some understanding (with the help of the contributors to this thread) of what the HiFi mod ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Tom brings us back to the point about cartridge compliance and the efficacy of doing a mod like his. I have been thinking about this recently since I installed a van den Hul DDT-II Special in place of my previous Benz-Micro Glider M2.The vdH's hav... | |
| Digitizing LPs: General advice wanted That computer audio workstation stuff is something I've yet to really get into myself, though I have a little experience on other people's set-ups. My present outdated computer couldn't handle those programs, but I have to upgrade to a new compute... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em When it comes to analog interconnects, I'm with Muralman1. I do a bypass test with a couple of IC's under audition placed in the tape loops (signal just goes around through the interconnect and right back into the preamp, nothing else is inserted ... | |
| Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates Tgi: Sit back and enjoy SP and JLP, or something else? ;^) | |
| Digitizing LPs: General advice wanted Eldartford: I haven't recorded any cassettes since getting my HHB CDR recorder. The only advantage with cassettes is the potential for more extended program lengths. CDR's most importantly have random access track selection and programming capabil... | |
| Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates Sean: I stand (partly) corrected - and say Good for him! ;^) | |
| Review: Michael Wolff power cords Carbon Gain Power cord You did, and apology accepted. My apologies to Mattend and the other respondents if I distracted in any way from the main thrust of your review comments. Everyone please carry on with the MW PC lovefest.
