| TT Power Cord Not sure Lew...nothing to do with the basic operation of the cable. I think it may have been a case of Health & Safety (or the Insurance industry) gone mad i.e. someone may have insisted on more generous clearances between the cores rather tha... | |
| TT Power Cord Revisiting the OP's original question, I actually spoke from experience : We're going back a lot of years but I tried a Reference Kimber Cable on the LP12 and heard no difference. In fact I felt the Linn's original cable was a better choice as it ... | |
| TT Power Cord Yes...capacitance was their primary mechanism, Lew. BTW...quite a few years ago, did the Industry Standards folk in the U.S not ban the braided cables so they (Kimber) ended up re-jigging their entire mains cable product line?It's a pity because I... | |
| TT Power Cord Hi Lew,Sincere apologies, I think I came across as more of a hard-liner than I actually am. On occasions Ive heard differences when using the braided Kimber cables too.The comments werent directed at anyone on the thread least of all your good... | |
| TT Power Cord I think if your turntable has a mains regenerative power supply (the LP12 was possibly the first to use this principle) then it's likely that the power cord won't make a blind bit of difference.Similarly any well designed power supply "should" be ... | |
| Simaudio MOON LP5.3 RS or 300LP? I'm sure Simaudio will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the RS designation was originally applied to amps made to European standard i.e. using unleaded solder. When it was first used, they were still using "tin/lead" in the U.S.There's no fund... | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm Hate to disappoint the designer's quest for unique selling points but the Syrinx PU2 I was using back in the early 1980s had offset bearings...It was a thing of beauty in a minimalist kind of way. ;) | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Thanks Halcro. As a fellow Raven user I appreciate your feedback. I have a strobe disc that allows active adjustment while playing so I'll add a small amount of compensation.Best regards, | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Hi Halcro,May I ask, did you manage to adjust the speed from a steady 33.31 to 33.33 under load?Kind regards, | |
| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel Heres an interesting example of audio geometry, courtesy of the album Moving waves by the Dutch band Focus.If you have a copy of this album, tune in to the long track called Eruption (Side B of the LP). If you are using the CD, at counter r... | |
| Whest Titan phonostage Hi Varyat,The primary source is a Raven One/Graham Phantom II/Lyra Delos with Ringmat GS, custom made short phono ICs (courtesy of Audio Origami)feeding Whest (+ custom IC) and Simaudio I-7 amplification rounded off with reasonably short speaker c... | |
| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel "The other system that does this for me is at my grimy computer desk in my garage. The speakers are $40 Altec Lansing 2.1 computer speakers playing off my computer. The weak link in the chain is every link in the chain! There is nothing in the pat... | |
| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel Dear JohnK,Good points :)The outlook for dipoles is not too bleak though. :)I've found that dipoles "drive" my room more sympathetically than dynamic designs I've owned. The front wave has narrow dispersion and I beam much of this through a wide a... | |
| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel Rod, He does indeed and I've discovered more than one or 2 newer bands/artists thanks to his generous nature. ;^)All the best m8, | |
| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel Michael,They are right, of course. It is a combination of speaker behaviour, room acoustics and T/T+phonostage attributes. Try Martin Logan electrostats at varying degrees of tilt, or even alter the arrangement of the soft furnishings along with y... |
