| Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack... NZ has earthquakes that are of low intensity but more frequent than anywhere else on earth. How near to Rotorua (SP?) are you? | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? I don't personally make audio CDs, but audio CDs are often cited as an every day application of Reed-Soloman error correction. CD ROM protocol on your PC may very well be different.One thing that I learned recently is that in current engineering p... | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Geoffkait...And then there are land tides. Yes, the earth's surface rises and falls several inches each day. This is 0.0000116Hz. Put that in your subwoofer and smoke it. | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Dmitrydr... My source electronics are located in a massively constructed alcove in my listening room. If I have any vibration at that source equipment it is acoustic. The phono turntable has vibration-absorbing feet. My power amps are in the cella... | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Sean...When you lift your coffee cup to take a sip, you change the mass distribution of planet Earth, and change the distance from the earth to the Moon. This is absolutely certain, and the exact change of the distance could be calculated, but who... | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? Sean...Thanks for your input. I take your comments under consideration and will respond later. | |
| Isolation/coupling: basics? OK...here is one point of view. (I'm sure you will get the other one too).Phono pickups develop their signal by vibrations of the stylus caused by the record groove. Obviously any other source of vibration will also cause the phono pickup to gener... | |
| Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack... Although I am skeptical about the need for exceptional vibration isolation/suppression for well-designed audio equipment, I can offer a few thoughts about vibration isolation.In my business (testing of missile inertial guidance systems) for some t... | |
| Help I think I blew a tweeter. My old (decades ago) Magneplanars bit the dust because I blew out the tweeter wires. My new MG1.6 have a fuse, and the manufacturer claims to have proven, by practical tests, that it is impossible to blow the tweeter wires so long as the fuse is i... | |
| Bryston 4B gets HOT. Should I leave it on? Sean...My God! No wonder interconnects are critical for you. | |
| A real dumb Tube question A tube is a light bulb with some extra wires in it. In most tubes the filiament glow can be seen. It glows red rather than white (like a light bulb) because it's purpose is to make heat, not light.If there is a true vacuum in the tube it will not ... | |
| How do you bi-wire? Maybe when you connected to the amp's A and B speaker terminals you got the wires reversed, so that relative phasing of the woofer and tweeter was changed. This would affect the sound, and it isn't always obvious which way sounds best. | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? I guess some posts (like this one) never go out of date, even it they may lie dormant for a few years. I guess I was responding to the recent poster, not the original one. | |
| OK to play 78s with elliptical stylus? Plato...Get a cheap equalizer. I'm sure that different brands of 78's used different equalization, just as did different brands of LP's in the early days. The equalizer only needs to make up the difference between the standard RIAA equalization in... | |
| Do magnets and electronics mix? Ed-sawyer...Magnetic levitation in three axes is possible: it is used to "suspend" the active parts of gyros and accelerometers used in missile guidance systems. It is an ac system, where movement of the suspended part towards a point where it wou... |
