| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @atmasphere Interesting test, Ralph. Just did it with two test LP's.The first was a 20-20K sweep on a highly dished test LP. The sound was audible with no amplification from the seating position.But, with the Analogue Productions test LP, in new c... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception "Likened to an extra long perfect kinda stick for getting the ants at the bottom of a deeper hole (on the Savannah) but, to remember that is all it is."That was a perfectly respectable viewpoint until the work of Hilbert, Russell, Godel. The natur... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception "Foundations of Measurement" in 3 volumes, Krantz, Luce, Suppes, and Tversky. Academic Press.You might know the last author as a Nobel Laureate.Basically, the work answers the question, "How to use mathematics without screwing up." Should be requi... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? I use the Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum with diamond cantilever on a DIY air bearing setup. Absolutely excellent - but sensitive to setup. For example, VTA changes the tonality from a bit warm (tail down) to a bit analytical (tail up). A very... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I owned Rega, moved up to NA Mentor (precursor to the Dais). The table is not suspended, so it can take an air bearing tonearm. I use the Trans-Fi, which is surely the best bargain in audio at $1000. Cartridge is a Koetsu.The 'heavy' kit is worth ... | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? GW, self respect is internal. It's right there in the definition. Goodbye. | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? ".. shameful monikers I’ll wear to the bank. ;-) "If you value your self respect so low, that's your business. | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? "Well terry91. I wouldn’t have spent $5800 for a $7000 list item online, if that item wasn’t returnable. Plus, it’s the perfect audition, in my room, with my gear. No loss, great demo.2. I audition that equipment and decide it's not for me. I buy ... | |
| Movies employing music in a great way. The movie "Police" by Maurice Pialat. Music is the only vinyl recording of Gorecki's Symphonie #3, "Sorrowful Songs". | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations I have played the Zero on a stereo record for a few bars. No effect - not that I'm likely to repeat that error. | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations Hello Peter.I use a Miyajima Zero and like it. After an obsessive setup, it is quite similar to my higher end Koetsu, but lacks the latter's ultimate refinement - to be expected at less than 1/5 of the cost!Equipment comprises Quad ESL's (modified... | |
| Am I missing something here? It may be the room. Seriously.The science is that most rooms are poor, and most of the remainder range from OK to good. Only 1 or 2 % are very good - and it may be that yours is one of those. Lucky you! | |
| How do you know what a good speaker is? Kenjit, I would say that correct phasing and driver coherence is just as important as FR. By driver coherence I mean that the sound is the same from both drivers at the crossover frequency. Better yet is no crossover. Some new ESL’s are like that,... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I use isolation transformers. They make more difference than the best power cable I tested, and make exotic power cables unnecessary. | |
| How to pre clean a very dirty LP before Ultrasound Machine? Just put them in the US cleaner, clean, and rinse. Never tap water. Use the US cleaning water until it’s obviously filthy, then change.You may have to clean each record twice. Note that not all US machines are created equal: power, frequency, reli... |
