| Shure V15Vmr or Ortofon OM20 Super? I would skip the Stanton for use with these specific arms and not being able to alter the loading wouldn't help either. Off the top of my head, i can't think of another inexpensive cartridge to go with. Sorry i'm not much help on this one : ) Sean... | |
| Shure V15Vmr or Ortofon OM20 Super? Marty: Did you ever experiment with the loading that you were using with your Grado's? It is possible to play games with tonal balance and transient response by doing so. Having said that, i still find the Grado's to be a bit on the "warm & sm... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Hmmm... Audioholics seems to have somewhat contradicted the information that Thomas J Norton of Stereophile presented in his article about amplifier stability / frequency response into various loads. The Stereophile article ( which i've linked to ... | |
| "High Current" El: what you are basically saying is that it is possible for a low powered amp to be "high current" even though it isn't "high powered" and i agree. It is actually much simpler and less costly to do something like that than it is to make a high po... | |
| Alpha Core MI2 vs Audience AU24 speaker cable With the RFI, EMI and noise levels that one is going to encounter in a car, i personally can't see spending that kind of money on cabling. If i were to choose between the two, the Audience would probably win out of size, flexibility and convenienc... | |
| "High Current" If a device truly is "high current", it will produce twice the power output at or very near the point of clipping as the impedance is cut in half. If the device doesn't do this, it is NOT "high current". While some might say that having a "big pow... | |
| Amp is stuck "on"-rocker switch is not engaging Unless it is a tubed amp and / or a very high bias SS design that generates gobs of heat and you are unwilling to pay the electric bill or have small children in the house and are concerned about their safety, leave the amp on.Since we are on the ... | |
| Alpha Core MI2 vs Audience AU24 speaker cable The Au24's are much smaller gauge. The Au24's have a much higher series resistance. The Au24's have a higher nominal impedance. All of these things add up to a leaner overall sound with more potential for dynamic constriction and smearing. The lon... | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued Norm: Clean your records one time very thoroughly, put them in high grade bags and then brush them off with each play. As far as cartridges and TT's go, align the cartridge and arm, set the proper tracking weight and be done with it. Maybe you'll ... | |
| Shure V15Vmr or Ortofon OM20 Super? If you think that the Shure is lean, you won't like the Ortofon at all. The Ortofon is much quicker sounding with better definition whereas the Shure is slower with less separation. If the Ortofon were an active component, it would remind of Music... | |
| Goth music fans - need help... Lazarus: That was a good find on your part. From what i can tell, this is a pretty obscure band and not well known at all. I finally looked at their website and from what i can tell, i would have never found them without someone's help. Thanks aga... | |
| Goth music fans - need help... Thanks for the help and attempted assist : ) I'll pass this on. Not only do i appreciate it, but i'm sure that the person that originally asked me for help will too : ) Sean> | |
| Need help on power supply caps If it is a solid state device, leave it powered up 24/7 for a couple of days. Turn the device off, unplug it from the wall and then turn the device back on. Leave it turned on but unplugged for a good period of time as you want to fully discharge ... | |
| Theshold T800D throws circuit breaker. As mentioned, this is related to in-rush current ( the surge filling up the capacitors ) and / or the circuit breaker itself. Big amps with large power supply reserves can do this, especially if the amp is older and / or the breaker is older and /... | |
| Chicago area - Nine FM Still listening and it is the station I have on at work in my shop. I'm not all that enamored with the fact that they DO have a specific playlist but am glad that it is still more varied than most and not nearly as many commercials.I had called up... |
