| Best Cartridge you have heard on a Denon DP62-L turntable That experience decades ago with the DL103 is why I continue to use it and keep several versions in my cartridge stable, including a rare gold-body 50th Anniversary model and the 103D with elliptical stylus. It just does well what a cartridge is s... | |
| Best Cartridge you have heard on a Denon DP62-L turntable Back in the late 70’s my local audio store used the Denon 103 mc cartridge on a TOTL Denon TT with the DA-307 arm. Step up device was a clone of the Levinson JC-1 head amp. Despite the conical (gasp!) stylus LP playback sounded phenomenally good! ... | |
| Outlet Question Definition of "Audiophile": Someone who listens to wall outlets before music. | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby True! I was listening yesterday to one of the first all-digital rock albums Peter Gabriel's Security. I had the original CD in a vintage 16-bit player and was amazed by the vividness of the sound quality! I felt what I was hearing was the master ... | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday I remember going to one of the NYC audio shows in the late 70's. Sound by Singer had a room there in the hotel. Equipment was set up - but NO sound! Visitors commented about this negatively. Why bother setting up an exhibit and refusing to play mu... | |
| How can I measure the noise on my AC mains with a 2ch oscilloscope? Your components' power supplies are designed to putput clean DC to activate the circuitry. No need to worry neurotically about noise on the AC line. Competent engineering takes care of that. | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! @wsrrsw : Digital recording and playback is a tried and proven technology. The music waveform is perfectly preserved. To believe otherwise is to remain trapped in neurotic confusion! Which Mr. Levinson wants you to be so he can get your $600. | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! Another cure in search of a disease. An obvious money grab! | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem There is a Golden Tube Audio SE40 amp available now on eBay for $1000. It uses three 6L6GC beam tetrodes in parallel per channel It is single-ended, no phase splitter. I own one. Tube replacement is far less costly than 300B's, 211's, 845's ... Yo... | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem So you want an SET amp? These typically have output impedances over 1 ohm and higher. Due to interaction with speaker impedance the result is a non-flat frequency response (Ohm's Law). The typical SET amp acts as a tone control as it tracks the sp... | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem "...silver takes away something from the flow and harmonics." LOL! Another opinion not supported by Material Science. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @thecarpathian : $149 with the 48 volt power supply. Yes, it is built with good parts. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? A well-engineered product using the TI TPA 3255 power chip! | |
| Could Class D really be that good? A simple upgrade is to order the Fosi with the 48 volt power brick. Go to ASR to read the recent test report. | |
| Can anyone recommend a new or NOS 300B or 805 vacuum tube? If you don't want Chinese then there are the European companies like JJ, Sovtek, Gold Lion ... |
