TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! !

Dear @tomwh :  """  , I want it to sound like real music. When is the last time you went to a concert, club, etc a... """


Well a good walkman can do it, just a joke. Nothing can sound as real music but live music.
Btw, I attend at least one day each week to listen live music that's my main reference.

Almost each one of us have different home audio room/system targets mine is to stay nearer to the recording and my room/systems was and is developed around that target.
That target means too that as nearer to the recording we are as nearer to that " real music " you said.

To stay nearer to the recording there are forbiden audio items that in no order could be: tubes, SUTs, unipivots, cooper wires and so on.

To stay nearer to the recording we have to fine tune, test after test and understand each link at the room/system chain. Understand what the cartridge signal needs what is asking for that delicated signal that is pick-up for the cartridge stylus tip as vibrations/movements and then converted on electrical " sound ".
Preserve the integrity of that cartridge signal is my main goal trying to mantain at minimum everykind of noise/distortions generated at each single system link till the signal arrives to my beloved ears/brain.

To achieve that kind of purity in the cartridge signal we have to take care and to have deep knowledge levels and skills in several critical audiophile subjects including to own a self bullet proof method/proccess for tests and evaluations of that audio room/system.

So you need all that stuff knowledge that for you is only BS but obviously due that your target is different from mine you care about other priorities. Your privilege.

Again , as nearer to the recording as nearer to the MUSIC.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Raul I have played in marching, concert, stage bands and orchestras.  I play jazz at home.  I also build all my own turntables, arms, power supplies and amps, phono stages etc...  My phono stage weighs in at over 150 lbs. Over kill probably!!!

A point to point debate with you would end up being fruitless.  Anyone who is in the know and can hear and feel music knows your so called understanding of distortion has little meaning in the end of the game of real music.

Enjoy the ride
Tom

well said, Tom

he always getting it to extreme, now even against all copper wires, which is funny as the best cable designers like Chris Sommovigo still using a copper conductor: https://blackcatcable.com/products/redlevel-triode-rca but it depends how did they used them. Same about silver or copper/silver like this one for example: https://blackcatcable.com/products/indigo-rca-interconnect

Dear @tomwh : """  Raul I have played in marching, concert, stage bands and orchestras. I play jazz at home. I also build all my own turntables, arms, power supplies and amps, phono stages etc... ."""

and that means?? please let me understand what you try to say.

""  Anyone who is in the know and can hear and feel music knows your so called understanding of distortion has little meaning in the end of the game of real music.  """

how is that because in a live event when you are seated in the near field the experience is way way different that the " same " one in a home audio system/room experiences where you need not only to be aware of different kind of distortions but to discern which kind of distortions/noise is and find out where its comes from.
Almost nothing of these happens in a live event .

Here too I can't understand what do you want to tell? why fruitless?  

Again, we can't compare in anyway a live event against any home audio system.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
