| For cassette enthusiasts - How to color cassettes Painting cassettes all black would hurt the sound. Just like coloring CDs all black, it would hurt the sound. Never throw pearls before swine.😀 | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? In my Woo Audio all tube class A headphone amp a WWII vintage NOS Tung Sol rectifier tube was noticeably better than whatever rectifier tube came with the unit. That was after I changed out the stock output tubes for 1952 Sylvania 6SN7GT Badboys. | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Excellent write up of results with the transducers and resonators. As I predicted trial and error is not really an effective way to obtain maximum results with resonators or transducers. And even following general diagrams can be risky. The only m... | |
| Vibration control inside a cabinet One point, the shallowness of the bottom cup doesn’t affect frequency of isolation as Barry theorizes. It affects effectiveness of isolation. Roller bearings aren’t really analogous to mass on spring devices. I.e, a very shallow concave surface pr... | |
| For cassette enthusiasts - How to color cassettes ouch! | |
| Vibration control inside a cabinet Actually the high carbon chrome steel bearings require the extremely hard surface of the top thingies that are provided to perform properly. The underneath surface of the component doesn’t quite cut it, it’s not hard enough and tends to flex. The ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? SherbetI never shared the general disdain of other Audiopiles towards 901's.I heard a pr once that was turned backwards so most drivers were pointed toward you and the single driver to wall that sounded good .I think they have had some other sli... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? From the Sorbothane Wikipedia page,"Sorbothane exhibits many of the properties of rubber, silicone, and other elastic polymers. It is considered to be a good vibration damping material, an acoustic insulator, and highly durable. An unusually high ... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? No one is suggesting there has to be a choice between high mass and low mass designs. Those are just design concepts. There are obviously a lot of variables and parameters involved. Mass is only one of them. You got your spring and unstrung design... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Audioquest NRG WEL Signature power cord 6’ length on Amazon $6899.75. The optional 4 year protection plan is more than many people’s power cords. The $15K BMI Cables Oceanic Statement Version UL/LE. Feel free to vent. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Just curious, has anyone ever tried stacking Bose 901s? | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Viscoelastic materials like Sorbothane convert vibration to heat ONLY if they are constrained. That’s why they call it contained layer damping. Sometimes there is a thin layer of aluminum On top of the viscoelastic material that constrains it. The... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Go stalk someone else, Pumpy. | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Shadow, grow up and find someone else to stalk. There are no high end low mass turntables made of plastic. That would be pretty stupid. Just admit you were wrong and move along. | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Another stalker joins the party. Make that two stalkers. Shadorne has a little difficulty with reading comprehension or so it would appear. Of course he might be pretending to be slow, it's difficult to say for sure. |
