| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix This “toe tapping” thing is just totally lost on me, and I guess I’m just missing it or don’t hear that way. I hear you buddy you can not hear PRaT if your focus is on the beat that everybody else is following for proper timing. Poss... | |
| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 I had to work through that same problem being my house was also built in the 50’s. I guess it is a common practice to replace two prong receptacles with three prong receptacles to increase the homes resale value. I was pretty pissed to find that ... | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges For what it is worth Soundsmith rebuilt one of my Stanton OEM stylus with a Ruby cantilever and a nude contact line diamond that I use on a 981 HZS, I am very pleased with the results and have no plans on going back to a MC. | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges Thank you @lewm good point, a Jico stylus will give the OP the best chance to see if this is the direction he would like to go without actually owning a OEM stylus. There is nobody I know of with the equipment or the propensity to test a Jico repl... | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges +1 @elliottbnewcombjr on suggesting a Jico and a Shure combination There is a Stanton 881S sans stylus for a good price on that well known classified site. This might be the sound you are looking for there is really no way to know without actu... | |
| Something Fishy with Brian Hoyer I personally would also drop a line to local news stations, investigative news reporters can drag this fellow and allegedly his spouse out of the shadows and into the light where they belong... | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? Mogami 2534 with Furutech 701 balanced connectors, personally I prefer the 701's to the much more expensive 601 series, Take Five Audio has everything you need to build your own or they can professionally terminate the cables for you. A profession... | |
| My turntable sounds like the speed is too slow Allot of great advice already so the only thing left is what the TT is sitting on or next to may be contributing to you problem? | |
| How Long Is Too Long? Hey sorry to hear about your troubles OP, everybody else's to, I have played the waiting game before and it really sucks. I believe the poster with user name morinix on Steve Hoffman Forum is who you are dealing with. I am not by all means trying... | |
| No HDMI out from 4K 85" Sony With copyright and piracy laws changing constantly the lawyers have more to do with technology being released than the engineers do. If you are stuck in some kind of "hook up" middle ground look into a company called HDFury they definitely have wh... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @atmasphere thank you, speakers designers can flatten out higher impedance in 4 Ohm speakers not sure how I got it mixed up. | |
| Stereo or monoblocks Very interesting the Tyr is not listed as Class AB it lists as "continuity" I believe Long Dog Audio P6100 monoblocks are also heavily biased into Class A before switching back to Class AB. The LDA monoblocks are also in your price range based on ... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often I guess I’m unhappy with speakers being hard to drive... just because they are hard to drive. 😁 I analyzed a pair of Focal 918 speakers and really had a tough time believing the crossover design was NOT deliberately meant to make it hard to dri... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often We need to reject hard-to-drive speakers as being Hi-Fi. I guess I missed the point of this statement, and yes I have read many that is why I mentioned amirm. | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often So Erik when did you start drinking your wine with amirm at Audio Science Review, specs are important but saying a 16 ohm speaker design is better than 4 Ohm speaker design strikes me as hyperbole. |
