Well, so far, this has been the problem, that someone "solves" an audio problem in a way that takes the life and deeper meaning from the sound of evolved Music. What Romy said about digital sound processing was put kindly, but only because he was l...

Seems like the real idea behind this is (as ever) to get money from chumps, so the real reactive load is the load of crap that is "high end" audio, populated, as it is, with a mix of hapless chumps and opportunistic a-holes. Best case, the truly ric...

OK, I read the blurb. Now that the cat's out of the bag, and we know it's just a resistor ladder, why not use... a resistor ladder? Gotta hand it to those "MIT" guys, also I think there's room yet for upgrades. How about a deluxe, super-limited, l...

Gera, if you're going to be reasonable and settle for a low frequency of 50 Hz from this channel, this gives you a wider range of choices, and you might try your Klipsch, or you might try a number of older, "thin" paper cone, 15" drivers. And if you...

Not that I have a lot of patience for audio, but I finally ran out my allotment for the effing shielded phono cables when the clock sounded 12 before I figured out a quiet grounding scheme. On the up side, I cleaned and re-greased all the contacts f...
|
|
Gera, I have lived with similar for years, turned this problem all around many times. While something like 15" Tesla AROs should work well up to 250 Hz, I think you will have to get very clever to get more than flatulence or thumping below 40 Hz fr...

Correction: The CH brand phono stage I looked at is (of course) a current amplifier, and no reason to be curious about a regular old, typical voltage amplifier. I see there is also a VERY Expensive, 4-chassis version of this (already expensive) pho...

OK, I just read most of the cartridge roll out. It turns out that the "reviewer" basically told the Big Dealer what he wanted from the cartridge maker. I guess the reviewer likes small winding, low output MCs ahead of time, so the manufacturer was ...

Didn't need to actually read the review to post this in the "Industry News" section:https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2018/08/25/zyx-universe-optimumWhat more can I add?Paul S...

then it works! Of course, nobody really wants a 12' piano keyboard, or 2' bells on the French horns, so (obviously) we want both more and less than rote "widening" of the event. Likewise with solo performers; we want a "more accurate" recreation of...

(with apologies to Giordano Bruno)
OK, had I re-read this entire thread from the top before posting again (above) I would likely not have repeated myself. However, IMO, this subject is not thought about nearly enough g...

Robin, there have been many and varied attempts to present a "realistic", "3-D" version of recorded music. The late Jame Bongiorno adamantly insisted that it could not be done with two channels, and he came up with his Trinaural Processor to "correc...

Over 10 year later, I finally "finished" and installed a shielded version of the above cable for the short run between my phono SUT and my phono stage, replacing the nondescript Placette cables I've been using there all this time. As anyone experien...

Some Hypex-type sub amps with ULF X/Os have high level inputs. Maybe this is a way to feed the thing from your DSET, if this is a goal for you? I think most of this type X/O and amp combination have an input buffer, and most of them have 180/variab...

|
It seems likely that the bass towers would affect the sound in that situation, perhaps eating some sound waves? Are you going to listen with them in and out or the room, or just leave them there, no matter what?Best regards,Paul S...
|
|
Glad to hear you've found a short cut. Of course you don't want to run the Auras too high, but the IB should allow them go go higher than they might in a box, and it should also improve the transition to the bass. If you decide to go SET it might b...
|
|
My own limited experience with ULF has been that it hasn't been "directional" at all, and hard to say if "time alignment" is even a factor in most cases, apart from the inevitable delays caused by X/Os. Also, where the speakers wound up has been bas...
|
|
It's hard to give prescriptions for ground problems, since they may be both myriad and complex. I can offer that my own current system performs best with all 3rd wire grounds disconnected from the wall socket at the component. For all I know, this ...
|
|
Is it too soon to talk about amps and X/Os, line or speaker level, active or passive, etc? If nothing else, it might save years to use a "board" to establish profiles, especially since the speaker positions will be fixed, and there are (almost) alwa...
|
|
It is not clear to me, when looking at the sectional elevation, are we seeing an "exit hole" that is smaller than the sum of the driver diaphragms?Paul S...
|
|
Romy, does the area behind the drivers open into a sort of attic space? If the parts of the structure are well fastened together, you get one major resonance. Depending on the driver behavior it is sometimes possible to "spread" the resonance aroun...
|
|
The AE cited is said to be "designed for IB". Since one does not "use the box" or a vent, etc. to jack up IB LF, it's going to be all about moving the 250g Mms through the usual, steep, ULF filter. Maybe a notch filter or anti resonance filter at ...

Speaking of Magic Power Cords, here's yet another option for those who believe that if a magic solution to power problems exists, then it will be expensive. Sure, it is possible to pay considerably more for a power cord with far less to say about it...
|
|
Steve, that's the thing that people just don't seem to understand, no matter how many times or how many ways it's called to light. Not having heard the effects of the PP units in a system I can only deduce from what I've been told here; but I've bee...

Jarek, that really sucks! Are you sure no one in Japan might salvage this cartridge for you? Has Stitch not offered more sage advice?And what about your Super Deluxe Tribute SUT? Is there a way you might adapt it for use with something else? I re...
|
|
Bill, thanks for that information. I am curious primarily because it is very rare to hear of a system as complex as yours that is electrically quiet! I suppose that the 100A sub panel is nominal 240V and the 30A legs are nominal 120V. Do you know ...
|
|
Bill, you say you use 3 separate AC sources. How are these sources separated? Are they all 120 VAC? Are they all in phase? Do they share a ground at any point before actual grounding, and if so, where do the grounds coincide? Do you use a dedicat...

There has to be a way to re-tag these taggers so they take the infection back home with them, like ant poison. ...
|
|
Regarding soundstage (and everything else, for that matter), who knows what you can get from the cartridge if it's optimized?
Surely, the Bavarian experts will step in now...
|
|
Well, this is the sort of potential problems we talked about, up the thread, so many years ago. If the damned motor is skewed in the shell, or if the cantilever is twisted or punched wrong, or the stylus is attached wrong... It could be anything. ...
