| Best Tweak??? Marco makes some great points. The less you worry about how your system performs, the more that you'll enjoy the music. Reading about other's systems, comparing notes of various products, lusting after gear, etc... all ends up detracting from the ... | |
| Spindle oil Herman & El: You guys are discussing something in specific that i'm not really super fond of i.e. servo-driven linear tracker. Based on past experiences, i still believe that such a design has the potential to be better than most conventional ... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Tommy: As one goes higher in frequency, the signal tends to travel more towards the surface of the conductor. Consequently, as one goes lower in frequency, the signal tends to travel through a deeper cross-section of the conductor. By making the c... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Flex: A good yet "basic" power supply would consist of parallel RF bypasses across the incoming AC line, an EI type transformer ( NOT a toroidal ), fast recovery diodes ( or snubbers across standard diodes / rectifiers ) and a staggered array of m... | |
| Spindle oil Herman: your example of an off-center record is a bit extreme. While this does happen, even a pivoted arm is "wallowing around" in the grooves as it the disc shimmies and shakes in an oblong rotation. There's only one TT made that actually deals w... | |
| How to bridge a Amp Adcom GFA1A and run a Subwoff Kg & CudaKen: The GFA1 & 1A are VERY different amps from the 555 series of amps. I can guarantee that if the amp was bridged, it wouldn't be an amp for long. It would be a smoking metal cube that was on fire. This amp can't even be connect... | |
| FM radio in Chicagoland I agree about XRT. They are like the other stations now i.e. have their own format ( still wider than most ) but repeat the same songs every day / every other day or so. On top of that, they DO have WAY too many commercials. As far as "9" goes, th... | |
| Bryston article on transformers - Part 2 Where's "part 1" at? I'd like to read that before reading part 2. I somehow missed it if it was previously posted. Sean> | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Tommy: Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad that your system and ears responded equally well to the Goertz. Both of those are good signs : )As far as Goertz flat speaker cables go, it does less wrong than any other speaker cable that i'm aware of. ... | |
| How to bridge a Amp Adcom GFA1A and run a Subwoff The GFA-1 is not bridgeable by design. That's because each channel already consists of two amps bridged together to make one bigger amp. As such, trying to tie both channels together would in effect be trying to tie four amps together. What you ca... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Good answer Drubin. I'll try not to type / think when i'm asleep next time. Or this time : ) Sean> | |
| Oversampling/Increased dither: a lot of hype? Gliderguider: I agree with what you said about ultrasonics, but i wanted to be honest and fair as to the pro's and con's. Like you, i've never heard of anyone popping an amp or tweeter that was directly related to this phenomena. As a side note th... | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide Styx: A simple solution is to install some type of adjustable pressure relief valve into the vacuum system. This will allow you to achieve the highest levels of suction without actually lifting the disc off of the platter. If you don't want to get... | |
| Spindle oil El: I think that Herman meant that the servo controlled linear arm would be cogging side to side ( crab-walking ) trying to constantly correct for the center of the groove. Sean> | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Mprime: I can't give you any specifics about interconnects. As i've stated before, "interconnects are a mystery" as far as component to component interphases go. That's because the spec's from component to component vary so widely.What i will say ... |
