| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Why wouldn't that be the case? It's analogous to 'sufficient statistic'. A sufficient statistic is a number, or vector, or tensor, which is adequate to perfectly describe a probability distribution. For example, the vector (mean, variance) is s... | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions I use isolation transformers sited in a utility room. That’s because they can hum when working. Protect better, sure. Cleaner power, sure. Cost more, sure. Difference in my ESL system was about the same as doubling the cost of a major component. ... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? Thanks for the Boyk reference. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? AT ML180 OCC that can beats any SS MI today cartridges but not only the AT outperforms several cartridge today designs but other MM too as: Am I correct in thinking that this is your favourite MM? Would you care to say more about why you like i... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @lewm Cascode forever! | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? Don't really need a FET or a SUT to amplify the voltage of LOMC. A well designed BJT with parallelism and premium parts does it better and just as quietly. Pindac lists all the things to worry about - good to keep them in mind in a thread like t... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? @immatthewj Those two hacks never wrote anything even close to as good as The Art Of The Deal. Yeah, that guy Schwartz can really write. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @lewm @jhnnrrs I have two of the higher end cartridges, a diamond Koetsu and a Grado Epoch. The Koetsu at 1510 hours (minimal stylus wear at 1000 hours by photomicrograph) is exceptional in its smoothness, quietness, resolution, sweetness, and m... | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? Don't know about the 12A family, but I did a bit of rolling when I had an ARC SP10. Very good were Telefunken 6902, but standard T 6902 were almost poor beside the Telefunken 6902 specially selected by HP. They came with both T and HP seals. Rumo... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Ditto about improving Magnepan crossovers. M also makes bass panels, the DWM, which are a magnetic push-pull design just like their other bass panels. I'm using two to complement my four Quad ESL's, and they sound pretty good - so I'm building a ... | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? @tony1954 There are many sources and types of distortion. Some forms of distortion are irritating to some people. For example, I can't stand the 'sizzle' that comes from some digital and most electrolytic caps in the signal path. Some other people... | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? I'm going to come to the rescue of a few of the ideologues here. Rule of thumb: if you can't find the engineering mistake, don't criticize it until you hear it. | |
| if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can I bought new Quad ESL's 15 years ago - and I'm keeping them. The 29 series is very smooth and elegant, and build quality is high. The 28 series is brighter, too bright for my taste. YMMV | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? Better yet, build one an enjoy it. DIY forever! | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. @pindac +1. Written by a high class expert in cleaning, who's generous to boot. We're lucky to have access to that level of expertise. |
