| What Does a Cartridge Compliance/Tonearm Mass Mismatch Sound Like? Dodge..With induced resonance you won't just *hear it* you will actually *see it* (the tonearm will appear to be alive, depending on the speed of the warps etc...).Another observation is that the sound can exhibit "phase-y" behaviour i.e. a centre... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Dear SunnyJim,Initially, since A/S is a constantly moving target and whatever setting we use which sounds "good" to our ears is the "accurate" one, I confess I read your post with a slightly different interpretation i.e. "which of these methods ha... | |
| Speakers Corner The reason I mention this is that for reasons best known to themselves you can get the odd disc that seems to magically materialise lint out of nowhere e.g. the HFN/RR Test Disc. I've owned 2 of the HFN/RR and they persistently do this despite bei... | |
| Speakers Corner Dear Washline,If it is of any reassurance, I have plenty of Pallas pressings and have experienced no static issues with the material at all, nor has there been any necessity to clean them.They have been exemplary and results have been perfect ever... | |
| Cartridge Performance vs Humidity Can you point out which detail was irrelevant SG? ;^) | |
| Cartridge Performance vs Humidity It seems even the Oxford Dictionary takes cognisance of the use of the word "bloom" in HiFi... ;^)http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/bloom | |
| Cartridge Performance vs Humidity Is this question directed at me or a general/philosophical one?Assuming the latter is the case, try this. I’m not a Stereophile enthusiast but I think the essence of this viewpoint is applicable :http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/25586171 | |
| Cartridge Performance vs Humidity JWM,Lol!Houses are constructed of 2 layers of brick without very much glass which tends to keep the interiors quite cool. We only get about 2 days per year of the kind of heat you describe (If we're lucky & depending on where you are in the UK... | |
| Cartridge Performance vs Humidity I had to chuckle at the reference to air-conditioners. In the US(?) I would expect AC to be the norm. Here in the UK it’s actually very rare to find ACs in domestic use. They are generally found in cars/hotels/shops & offices. Not that we are ... | |
| Cartridge Performance vs Humidity Don,This is the direction I was aiming to discourage. It has absolutely nothing to do with warm-up. The difference between either extreme, all other factors being equal, is like chalk & cheese, despite the system being fully warmed up in every... | |
| I'm happy but I want more, more, more Hi Bill, I have a friend who uses the Satisfy arm on an LP12 and is delighted with it. (They say suspended tables and unipivots do not make the best stablemates but try telling that to all the Naim ARO users ;^) It bears repeating that IMV there... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? This study trumps everyone... ;^)http://www.theanalogdept.com/images/spp6_pics/TT_Design/MechanicalResonances.pdf | |
| I'm happy but I want more, more, more BTW Bill, another reason I’m less than enamoured with the Clearaudio is their main bearings. They tend to be either the "air-ceramic" type or the magnetic one (which I think you have??). If I’m not mistaken both of these offer a compliance which e... | |

| I'm happy but I want more, more, more RLawry,THe penny just dropped. High FIdelity Cables. Is he not the magnetic conduction guy? (Cables so expensive you have to mortgage your house) It's the only product you actually cared to mention I might add. It must have left some impression. I... |
