| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 @OP There is a much more extensive white paper from Rega on the subject. The RB 880 is low effective mass and VdHs are high compliance for MCs - so a good match. Regarding VdH service - VdH will replace the cartridge suspension - not just the st... | |
| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 @OP For VdH, you want the horizontal strakes on the side of the cartridge to be about parallel with the surface of the record. Roy Gandy has some persuasive arguments as to why VTA doesn't matter, but I'm not totally convinced. It matters less tha... | |
| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 @OP From experience, the Frog is a worthwhile upgrade overt the MC One. The one thing with VdH cartridges is that they are fussy about VTA, but I'm sure you have that sorted. If you want a change, the Hana Umami Blue is outstanding. It's more robu... | |
| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 @steakster - glad you got sorted out and +1 to Wilson. @OP - were you Nigel Tufnel in a previous life? | |
| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 @OP I would not pair a Chord amp with W/P 8. Chord's house sound is the antithesis of, for example, Pass. It will magnify all the weak points of the speaker. The Pass XA series amps do work very well with Wilsons including those that use the Focal... | |
| MBL Insolvent BTW MBL is not just a speaker company. It makes a very extensive line of electronics too. | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass It's Geddy Lee on the Moog Taurus if you want bass pedals in rock. | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass The difficulty in using piano as a reference for bass response is that very few pieces stay down in the low bass for long enough. And the bass part is usually complementary to what's being played in the right hand so cognitively it's difficult to ... | |
| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 @OP A few further observations. Given what you say about occupational hazards, you should get an audiogram done. You may have an notch beween 2 and 6 Khz which is affecting your tonal perception. Also, the fact that you are blowing up speakers may... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables @OP. Move your amplifier closer to the speakers. | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! @mylogic - +1 for your powers of recall/association. Now you mention it, yes - I do indeed remember that discussion. Let's see if we find out this time. I note that it has a PCB, so all the point to point wired tube amp owners can rest easy in t... | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! @mylogic. RIP Brian Wilson. I'm glad you took my comments in the spirit they were intended. I'm pickin' up good micro vibrations, she's giving me micro excitations - doesn't have quite the same ring to it... | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! My friends don't call me TonyYaYa for nuttin:)) | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! @OP. Fill the amp with a plastic bag full of lead shot. | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on I've listened to the larger Clarysis speakers at the Munich High End show. They sound superb and are beautifully built. They are not over priced for what they are especially considering the number of neodymium magnets required. They have all the g... |
