| Tranfiguration Orpheus description I have a question about this mono-LP/azimuth adjusting technique:Do you set the preamp's mono/stereo selector switch to 'mono', or do you leave it on 'stereo' when making your adjustments?. | |
| Goldmund on recent TT designs . . . . . Ketchup, go to the other links I just posted, they have a lot more info on the Ref. 2 itself (incl. pictures and drawings.)It looks like Goldmund is also bringing out a reasonably priced (<$4500) brand new phono preamp, the Mimesis PH7.3. | |
| Goldmund on recent TT designs . . . . . There is actually quite a bit of info about the new Reference 2 TT on the Goldmund site. First, go to their April and Oct. (2006) "News" pages:http://www.goldmund.com/news/2006/04/andhttp://www.goldmund.com/news/2006/10/The second article has a pi... | |
| Thanksgiving to THOMAS EDISON Yes, I know Tesla was basically ACs creator, but wasn't it Westinghouse who won the AC/DC war in this country (against Edison) and made AC the standard here? I'm pretty sure that was the story. I'll double check later.. | |
| Thanksgiving to THOMAS EDISON Wasn't Edison pushing DC? Cheers to Mr. Westinghouse!. | |
| panel speaker help If only the speaker you described existed! I agree that planar magnetic speakers (basically, Magnepan) don't have quite the transients of an electrostat (although the 3.6 and 20.1 have true ribbon tweeters -- you don't like those?)You don't like h... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? The main advantage is better signal to noise ratio and secondarily, better frequency response (because the groove wiggles are stretched over a longer length of groove.)The downside is that there is much less playing time per side (which is the ans... | |
| whats the best styus cleaner gel Use the ME dry. I follow that with the Zerodust just to pick up any ME dust. If your records are basically clean, you shouldn't need to use the ME except maybe every ten sides, if that. You can always check the stylus with a pocket scope if you wa... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Look, Racer, I'll go out on a limb and repeat myself:1.) Forget a regenerator. You don't need one with good ded circuits and good utility service. Plug your amp into the (20A) wall.2.) Forget power conditioners. Old technology. If you don't believ... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Tim, you're right that was my point. | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps I think the Synergistic ICs may be the problem. Are you using the active shielding? Is the active shielding connection at the preamp end or the TT end? (might try reversing it). If that doesnt help, try a pair of regular ICs just for comparison (w... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps I don't know enough about the VPI chassis to really advise you. Typically, the tonearm leads have five connections: two signal leads (from cartridge left and right) which each consist of a hot and ground conductor, covered by a braided shield conn... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps So I'll bet the mice are laughing at you too!If you MUST use a regenerator, get an ExactPower. They don't work the way the (lowish output) P-300 and others do (which is to throw away the whole AC signal and re-build it). Consequently, the ExactPow... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Interesting system. I'd agree with Aball, except the kind of buzz he's talking about usually remains pretty much constant regardless of volume setting -- especially since you have a ss preamp. (A nice combo with the Mesa BTW) So you may have some ... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Speedy, I don't actually READ Stereophile anymore, maybe a page here and there. So when I read Rmaurin's post announcing Fremer's upcoming review, I was ernestly looking forward to the kind of specific point by point comparisons he made in his 200... |
