| Tube pre-amps: balanced a big deal? I try to keep things simple;A phono cartridge is a true balanced source. The sinusoidal waveform goes up, and then it goes down. A dual differential phono pre amp, pre amp combination preserves the entire waveform. An asymmetrical (rca) pre amp re... | |
| Torus power vs the competition For those of us that use balanced conditioners, there's no turning back.I have a Torus RM20. It gives me a constant 120V. This than feeds my 'balanced' toriods. One BPT, two very old 2KV plitron medical transformers. I've wired the plitrons to giv... | |

As low as the noise floor was, the base (bass) diminished slightly. I just switched them around, an... | |

| Reducing Background Noise On Records How many of us have left these pages?Reading these responses has left me scratching my head.Azimuth adjustment is the most important of all the cartridge tweaks. Until your azimuth is perfect, everything else is meaningless.cspiegs, start reading ... | |
