| Is unamplified music the gold standard? The term High Fidelity was coined with the word "fidelity" meaning the sound of reproduced music was judged in relation to the sound of, at the time of the phrase’s coining, the live-performances that had been recorded. That was the standard that ... | |
| Linn LP12/Lingo start-up/speed problems I'd be very surprised if the problem is mechanical, rather than electronic. I had a Thorens TD-125 Mk.2 whose electronics created the same "motorboating". | |
| Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery My story is only somewhat related (being about not the sound quality of a certain pressing, but rather its musical content), but anyone who likes Tom Petty is likely to also like T Bone Burnett. I bought T Bone’s 1980 Truth Decay album on Takoma R... | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware I don't know if it's still in production (it's not on their website), but Rega was at one time making a cartridge bolt torque wrench. | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? Dang, your right onhwy61, I forgot about The Chambers Brothers. I saw them at The Fillmore, in '68 I guess. So the last Band Of Gypsys was Hendrix, Billy Cox on Bass, and Mitch? When I saw the original Experience lineup the second time (at Winterl... | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? There have been a lot of bands with all white musicians except for the black drummer. The Family (Sly Stone's band) were unique in being an all-black band with the exception of their white drummer! Great band. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @terry9---say, what pump do you use with your Terminator? Have you also incorporated a "surge" tank? Just a regular ol' 1 gallon plastic jug? I'm about to mount my Terminator (which I had Vic fit with the last of his silver wire, straight to a pai... | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question As stiff an armtube as possible benefits ALL cartridges, but the Decca/Londons, having no rubber damping suspension (and no traditional cantilever; the stylus is attached to a V-shaped metal plate, which goes straight up into the cartridge) benefi... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ieales, thanks for finding the exact Forum to which I was referring. My six month estimate turns out to have actually been almost a year! | |
| Brand New Warped albums! @slaw, if it's not asking too much, I would love to hear your tips on using the Vinyl Flat (and Groovy Pouch, if you also have that). | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question @noromance, you make a good point. A heavier counterweight closer to the bearings can produce the same effective mass as a lighter one further away, plus create less moment-of-inertia, a good thing say engineers (I take their word for it ;-). The ... | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? @ks2, you're new here. Geoffkait delights in taunting others. | |
| KEF for Near-field? What distance is considered the dividing line between nearfield and non-nearfield? Nearfield about 6' and less, non-nearfield greater than 6'? | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question The Decca/London is tricky because its’ lateral and vertical compliances are very different, the lateral being about 50% higher than the vertical. Schizophrenic! Of course, the effective (moving) mass of all arms is partially determined by the dis... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. The talk I saw about the DIY kit version of the First watt B4 was maybe six months ago, on a Nelson Pass-related DIY Forum site. I’ve been looking through all my folders, but have yet to find it. I’ll keep looking, but a call to Pass Labs may get ... |
