| What makes strings sound "sweet"? Screw high order harmonic distortion. Harmonic distortion is related to the signal itself. IM distortion is, by definition, enharmonic, and much worse. Many factors contribute to sweet sound, frequency response, harmonic distortion spectra, amp be... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Sounds_real_audio, why should Bill let everyone know that he is a dealer if he not only hasn't endorsed any products in the thread, but hasn't even forwarded a strategy for building a system. In fact, he hasn't done anything except get into the fr... | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Oh, and another post where Marty is a surly ass. | |

| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice What's the best pair of $100.00 shoes? It's a matter of taste, and mine would be to the much less expensive Audio Technica AT120E, but if you like a lush, full sound, the Grado Red might be attractive and for a little more scratch the Denon DL-110... | |
| The Best Best Speaker Thread This one! | |
| Replacing MM Cartridge suggestions phillips table Yes, the OM5E is probably at fault. You need to set your sights a little higher, both for the sound quality and for the preservation of your records.

| Anyone have a Dynaco Pas3 Balance Control??? Gary, the balance control in the Dyna really screws up the sound, why not just bypass it? If the volume control is in need of replacement, get the 100K pot from Parts Express, or even Radio Shack has one, though it does not track as well. | |
| Spacers for Rega P3 As pointed out, a spacer is not needed when using the, rather short, Rega cartridges. And the arm is not mounted a bit too low, though it may be mounted a bit too low for your cartridge. The height of the spacer that you will need is dependent on ... | |
