Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54
While I have enjoyed a couple of solid state phono stages and tube linestages since then, I am open to considering all designs and never nod my head in agreement when you mention me as someone who "saw the light" regarding solid state superiori...

Hi Raul, basically you are just blowing your own horn and boosting about your own design, as always! Do you even have an idea what IEEE, as mentioned by Lewm, stands for?Btw, I made 3 USA trips showing my unit and learning on what other people li...

Hi Lewm, very good summary! Thanks

Dear @thekong : I can't detect it due to that glorious so low distortions in my today system/room.Dear Raul, only in your dreams I afraid :-)Always just talks but no prove, right? 
Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54
In the other side, I never posted here or every where that my system has lower distortions than anyone else.Dear Raul, good, then we have no disagreement.What I can tell you is that my system/room has lot lot lower distortions than yours. I really... 
Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54
Dear Rual, great, now you are saying you could feel it. I just don't know how you can feel lower distortion! I can understand if you say you can hear it, but feeling the distortion? How does it feel actually?No matter, now that you can feel it, th...

Dear Raul, it is ok, you don't have to disclose the test result; the test was meant for your own benefit only. Actually, we all know the answer already!You could feel the pressure created by the Telarc 1812's cannon shots in your system before, bu...

Dear @thekong : Look, I never said that air borne does not produce vibrations/distortions. In the other side, I already did it that test.Dear Raul, great! So, did you hearing complete silent or a faint sound of music through the headphone in that ... 
Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54
Makes no sense to me that you ask for some tests in my audio system when I have to prove you or any one else nothing at all.Dear Raul, of course you have no obligation to prove to me, or anyone else, it is your system after all! Only that you alwa...

Raul, instead of babbling on the same old things, probably better if you could finish your ideal tonearm and show the world you are right!It is 2017 already you know? How many years have past since you told members here the arm would be ready "NEX... 
Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54
I see, still babbling on the same old viewpoint, yet avoiding direct question about your system’s distortion. Typical!You were, maybe still are, trying to develop a tonearm, so you must know a lot about how the tonearm / cartridge system works, a... 
Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54
Oh Raul, if you perform the above test and come back telling us you really hear complete silence through the headphone, I would be very interested to learn how you / your system could achieve that!You were, maybe still are, trying to develop a ton...

I did it using Telarc 1812, Dafos and Firebird tracks not at 83db normal SPL but at 97dbs ( at seat position. ) with 109db on peaks and you know something: I can’t detect any vibration/resonance because that air borne.Really Raul? No vibration/... 
Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54
The location of your equipment between your speakers and the proximity of the speakers and subwoofers so close to the walls is a severe restriction on performance.Hi Dover, I agree completely with you assessment on Raul’s room / treatment, especia...

Also, we seem to be assuming that the stainless steel arm tube is completely empty save for the wiring. I don’t know that it doesn’t incorporate any sort of "stuffing" that might also contribute to damping.Hi Lewm,Here is an article by Thomas S...
