| A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band One of the great bands of all time. I find the Robert Earl Keen reference amusing as well. | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. I would add a couple of things to what Al said. The ratio of the output impedance of the phono preamp to the input impedance of the linestage should generally be at least 1:10 and preferably 1:20 though there are certainly exceptions and otherwise... | |
| Connecting amp to vintage speakers Terminate the wire with pins. | |
| Add a step-up or Upgrade If you like the ML, then keep it. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. The transformer will not change the basic character of the phono stage so you should be good to go. | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry There is a Fisher forum on Audiokarma where all of the techs hang out. The question could be easily answered there. | |
| where to buy DIY cable supplies Home Depot, seriously, and Markertek. | |
| good diy preamp I have built the Bottlehead Foreplay 2 and Foreplay 3 extended as well as the Seduction C4s preamp. My next build is the Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid which is also a complete kit in a more conventional form factor. Info can be found on the Tra... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Halcro, Hi Fi News has been measuring secondary resonances in tonearms for decades:http://www.sme.ltd.uk/content/Series-IV-Tonearm--Hi-Fi-1544.shtmlwhat is harder to quantify is the interaction between resonances in a specific cartridge and arm. H... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth You had me in total agreement until your last sentence, which I respectfully disagree with. We like to focus on things that we can measure, like primary arm/cartrige resonances. But as Halcro points out, these are below the audible band, not that ... | |
| Phono preamp or cartridge - which to upgrae first I think that you hit the nail on the head when you said that the preamp was solid statish. Electronics have - for want of a better description - electroic colorations, whereas they may be an order of magnatude greater but transducers have colorati... | |
| If she isn't into the gear, is she into the music? It's just a riff.......sorry. | |
| Edgar Winter is still alive. Slaw, Edgar is still alive. I have never started a thread about a decesed artist.BTW, saw Edgar at the Felt Forum in NY during the They Only Come Out At Night tour and sat next to the Johnny Winter band who were also in the audience. Good times. | |
| If she isn't into the gear, is she into the music? Regrettably not. Her only interest seems to be tantric sex. | |
| Tannoy turntable Did you try joining the Micro Seiki user group on Yahoo Groups? | |
| Did anybody get horns figured with triodes ? I use three speakers with horn loaded upper ranges. Altec 19, JBL Apollo and Klipsch Cornwall. The Cornwalls are 100db sensitive, meaning that they will play at 100db with one watt input. So yes, they run easily in my big room with less than 5 wat... |
