| directional cables? Herman, if you want to nit pick about the physics of energy transmission (which is NOT what my remarks here concern) then we can have that conversation privately, and not bore these folks. Is sounds like you accept that a cable (material) will con... | |
| directional cables? Clio, the Mogami 2549 is ideal for making shotgun interconnects, using the two center conductors for the signal (hot and return), and floating the shield at one end.Stan, the kinds of conditions you mention are "direction neutral" in the presence ... | |
| directional cables? Jea48, you (and they) are talking about the crystalline structure of the conductor metal, and yes, it *can* sometimes have an asymmetrical geometry that lets electrons flow better in one direction than another (the basis of solid state devices by ... | |
| directional cables? Grounding the shield on the cable at the "source" produces the least noise (hum). That is the reason for the "direction".Don, I'd be interested in the science on which you base this pronouncement ;--))Clio, the cable you describe is either:(1) the... | |
| directional cables? The "arrow convention" was started by Bruce Brisson when he developed the "shotgun" interconnect while at Monstercable (he left to start MIT cables.)Cable manufacturers now put arrows on everything! However the arrows were originally meant only fo... | |
| High powered point to point tube amp? I think this is what you're looking for:http://www.wolcottaudio.com/WA_presence.htmbut that said, I'm wondering why you think you need so much horsepower to drive Sashas?I also want to mention, that if you were driving your Quads through Cardas Go... | |
| phono stage / step up for Koetsu carts Well, if your going to get a Koetsu cartridge, and you want to use it with a SUT, why not get the Koetsu SUT which they make specifically for their cartridges? Go to Melvin Ang's website. | |
| Sme arm "Bridge Removal" Sme10 - I did not hear any of the changes you and others have reported. Frankly, if I did, I would would be more alarmed than pleased. But I'm still very anxious to understand what this "loading" terminology refers to, and hope someone will explai... | |
| Sme arm "Bridge Removal" Could someone explain to me what "loading" the bearing means? And how having the bridge in place, or not, affects that "loading"?Yesterday, I removed the bridge on my SME V, and to me, it looks simply bolted to the main tonearm yoke casting. The a... | |
| Tonearm cable cost no object According to their website, the Fascination, Expression, and Emotion lines offer DIN tonearm cables. Although it would be nice if they offered one in their top-rated Elation model (you should call and ask why not) but to me, the sonic synergy prov... | |
| Jack White's Streaming Vinyl Honest1, of course we all know that; however I read nothing indicating the reporter understood the difference. And I hope, when Mr. White said Were trying to marry the two worlds," he was referring to the event itself, and not to vinyl pressings... | |
| Jack White's Streaming Vinyl I admire his intent, howeve, Jack Whites idea of streaming live analog music is to take analog picture and sound, digitize it, and then send it out via the internet and through the digital sound card in your computer. Did I really need this suppo... | |
| acoustic zen reference or venustas Between them John and Jim raise two important issues. One is where in the system are the cable(s). And second, your own musical tastes/preferences.I'd like to introduce two more: One has to do with the "where in the system" question. I think the a... | |
| Turntable speed slow with quartz lock Kirkus, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think what you meant to ask is: "Are both turntables running slow by exactly the same amount?" ;--)If the answer is "yes" (I'm guessing) it would point to both units being run with (or set to?) the wrong volt... | |
| How low is a piano? Supposedly, the two hardest things to record are piano and human voice -- not because of frequency range, but because they have wider dynamics (soft-to-loud) than all other sources. Anyone else ever hear this? |
