Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Hi guys.It's been a long time, and I've been away from the site.I'm happy that some of you are finding out what this mod can bring to your music.Regarding the Townshend with the silicone damping trough, yes the damping is having a similar effect b... 
How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ?
I've been watching this thread with interest, as a Berning owner myself.I expected that this would be the result.Enjoy your system! 
Looking for a SET amp to pair with MM DeCapo's
I'd see if you can find a David Berning Siegfried SET-ZOTL in either 300B(8wpc) or 811(11wpc).This amp is the biggest "sleeper" amp of all time.Nobody really seems to know about it, nor does hardly anybody understand what David is actually doing w... 
The most emotional amp out there?
Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't chime-in with my preference for my David Berning custom choke-loaded 45 SET-ZOTL with battery-power. A one-off variation derived from the Berning Siegfried SET-ZOTL, custom built by David for me a few years... 
how can a line cord affect frequency response ?
Eldartford,My stuff is made for battery power, and there are capacitors in the power supply, and I do keep my wires short to try to minimize the inductance issue too.To answer your question, I have not noticed any change or difference if the sunli... 
Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Gadfly,I'm very pleased that my tweak has been instrumental in helping you get more enjoyment out of your analog system.Thank you. 
how can a line cord affect frequency response ?
Shadorne,I've been using solar power to re-charge my battery operated system for years.Just for a little aside to the discussion here, I don't use "audiophile" AC power cords. My system is battery operated on DC power.And I use a separate 12vdc le... 
how can a line cord affect frequency response ?
Eldartford,I'm glad that you are looking at ways that could advance what we know about testing audio products, and making those tests as relevant as possible to the real-world operating conditions of the products.I feel that doing those kinds of t... 
how can a line cord affect frequency response ?
Dpac996,I was joking about the "negative feedback power cord", because of the past history of what happened in measurements to product that end in audio amplifiers during the 70's and 80's.I'm actually pleased that you are interested in doing thin... 
how can a line cord affect frequency response ?
Please, I would implore any people seeking to measure the performance of anything "audio", to at least measure it in the context in which it is used, so that we don't have the mess that occured in the past.I noticed that a very well-meaning poster... 
Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Stefano,Thanks for your post.Yes, it is possible to reduce the possibility of a mismatch of the HiFi mod with a high compliance cartridge by using lighter weights, as you mention.I'm glad it worked out for you. 
Naim amps??
I have almost $10 grand in a 2-watt per channel tube amp.I guess that I must really be nuts! 
how can a line cord affect frequency response ?
I only would make one comment, and that is to say to buy and listen to what you like and want.In the end, you only have yourself to please, as it is your system, and nobody else's. 
Have you seen any CABLE measurement tests?
Thank you. 
Have you seen any CABLE measurement tests?
In the interests of science, please provide a link which describes any test, done by anyone, which is considered beyond reproach in its methods, that can support such a conclusion in such a way to establish is at irrefutable fact.Inquiring minds w...
