| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Thanks, SplutaThis link proves that electric and electronic components wear out within time and break-in time is infinitessimaly measurable.The reliability issues have to be sought for different purpouses whether it's for aircraft, hospital, audio... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? finally, i'm getting 1999 Town Car. next my car will be 2009 Town Car. and than 2019 Town Car etc...! | |
| Where to find LP clamps? I might argue on that since Michell uses an acrylic platter that I cannot consider it "springy" or unsupported and the clamp realy works best if only applied without locking on the Michell. The same I can say about Oracle tables where you should o... | |
| What active preamp... I know McCormacks are good bang for a buck but they're all extra-bright in active mode | |
| What active preamp... Bob, it's adcom gfp750 that is great in passive mode and also has a unity gain, but first i'm not sure how far it brings music from real in active mode... The length of wires adds too much resistance for a 600mV...1V signal.despite having a sencit... | |
| Where to find LP clamps? ...so, you want to find first clamp and than match the turntable??::))Don't go for Sota or VPI clamp that realy can only make the record placement worse than it used to be since they're too heavy.For a proper clamping you need to very slightly cou... | |
| How do you properly break-in a pair of speakers? I am with Decay. Break-in of the speakers should be at moderate volumes first without strong physical over-stress of the voice coil. Play the music that you will enjoy despite any lack in quality of reproduction. After manufacturer's suggested bre... | |
| What active preamp... ...it's actually more on colouration and bringing the sound away from reality rather than being simply bright that is not neccesarily.with short interconnect runs and sencitive poweramps you can get away with cheap passive pre-amplification that w... | |
| Aleph 3 with Micro Utopia? I haven't heard them with this amp but I assume that monitors definitely benefit from higher power despite being efficient. Their impedance drops to 4 ohms easily. If you're into the chamber music and small band than it migt be OK but for large or... | |
| Headphones-How to Connect? Sennheiser are high impedance ear-phones that might not be handled with CD-player or even preamp headphone jack. In most cases head-phone amplifier is recommended for more pleasure to your ears.Try to get Earmax or visit www.headphone.com to selec... | |
| Aleph 3 with Micro Utopia? certainly, not enough power. might even clip.consider plinius SA100 -- super amp!or vtl MB100 that you can get used for the same price as aleph 3 used. | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Redkiwi,some people do understand it and some people don't and still believe that there is a break-in of electrical components and wires.truly, nothing has to be scientific to prove that break-in crap. | |
| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 I've got it used for $850 but the new price on the receipt was $1889 for the regular version. | |
| Speaker Cable directionality: reversable?? if they're shielded than on the amp's end. technically this helps to avoid an influence of micro-phonics. if the level of micro-phonics or near-by power sub-station is very high the directionality is recommended. otherwise there will be no differe... | |
| long i/c run...looking for high end cable You'll be surprized but Canare pro-grade balanced cables available at Sam Ash Music store will do the trick with long runs at measurable price paid. |
