A bit of search and it turns out that VPI and Simon York use something more sophisticated than RCA on their tonearms: they use Lemo connectors...and immediately fuck everything upby connecting it to their "RCA connection box", right next to the arm H...

Yep, I fixed it. If does sound very good now, exactly how it has to be. It turns out that my suspicion were correct: my Micro’s fat cable has died on me. I absolutely assure you that no one would believe that a regular phono cable able to introd...

The subject it itself is very interesting and although it not directly relates to the Experience Music Horn Installation but there was some talk about in this thread. There was conversation on the similar subject at British hifiwigwam forum

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] "Short the ML2’s inputs and the hiss should be gone"
I assume it is not a mistake, and that you mean short the unused input on each POWER AMP (as opposed to the PREAMP).
(I am currently using the XLR connections becau...

Hm, this is what I am playing how: the new 18-cell and S3. I run it from a full time Milq and use it with no filter of any kid. Rony is right the depth effect is there, it is not even depth but rather multi-dimensionality. Indeed very pleasant feelin...

Romy, I have a very large collection of 45 triodes.... many brands and varying internal construction. From my humble viewpoint, here's some personal findings on the various types:- Globe 45 tubes... these are the earliest, mostly from RCA. There are...

Here are my notes on adapters. I am not an engineer so I do not have further explanations readily available but could probably dig them out.1) It is physically impossible to make an RCA male or female with an impedance of 75 Ohms, so all digital RCA ...

Paul, thanks again for a nice input--sounds for me indeed seductive (well, I'm anyway +/- "self-convinced" to give a silver/amo a try).Do you use silver wire also in the tonearm? What I have in mind is a 2nd, all silver path for the 834, which would ...

Hello Romy,What brand of 0A2 do you use in your phonostage?I used RCA, but after 1.5 years of work it began to spark when phonostage is switched on.I tried Siemens, Mazda and now Sylvania 0A2.Siemens has "disco sound", without mids, just metallic hig...

Gee, now that I read my post again after yours.... that last bit didn't quite say what I was wanting to say (I hate when that happens). I was really referring to people being "brand specific" as my example of the 45 showed that you can't always...

From Larvy Site:Features like a USB input, programmable settings, infrared remote capability, and the proprietary >PiC< Playback Image Control™ make the DA11 more than just a great sounding DA converter. In keeping with the Lavry Engineering tr...

If the RCA 1443 the same as 1428B but without the field coil then it might be even more interesting than 1428B. As I understand that those prewar driver had phenolic diaphragms that generally shall have tendency to be a bit soft with low order filter...
|
|
No, the 1443 is also a field coil, just a different voltage.Re: the configuration - indeed; I am hoping to get 300Hz with the RCA, then the S2 from between 1k-1500 and up, + tweeter. Below the RCA willbe a compromise to begin with, but hope...

This morning I went to MIT Electronics Fleamarket and found something quite fascinating: the RCA made sockets that fit 6C33C. I use Johnson’s sockets (I believe 273-275) that although are more expensive but they hold the 6C33C’s pins horizontally and...

But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?Probably, you will not use continuous wire from the cartridge coil, and you will probably not solder but use some sort of c...

Doug, it is a lot of tuner went over your hand. I wonder what drove you to do so. Was any specific quality of sound that you were looking and the tuner that you own did not serve you?

In the thread “Vitavox S2 with Electromagnets.” there was plenty of discussion about RCA 1428 driver. Here is more to it: the Great Vintage Loudspeakers made a new production of the RCA 1428 driver.

In fact I posted a question to Wolf and he replied that he can produce the coil of any voltage the customer would like to have. That is good. The below is data by Wolf von Langa:
MI-1428 - original version of the RCA 1428 - especially made for...

Attentuators plugged directly into the RCA jacks sounds like good solution for balance control, though I will check Placette first for cost of adding second remote controlled sensor, thanks romy....

Yeah, the power cord was nothing special. The Shunyata cord PLUS the Hyrdra conditioner represent the single best upgrades to my system aside from John's mods. I was skeptical about power cords and conditioners, but I'm a bit of a fanatic a...
