| Measuring impedance with multimeter If you connect your speaker to a signal generator and run a frequency response graph for the entire audio spectrum (generally 20-20,000cps) you can see on the graph how the impedance varies quite a bit (from maybe a low point of 2ohm to a high of ... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart I would never buy a direct drive turntable. | |
| Looking for thoughts/opinions on tube seller's response to my question... A few years ago I bought a quad of 80's Tesla EL34 tubes from Tubeworld and one of them was "dead" in the sense that it didn't start to glow and after a few seconds my amp shut down......switched to another socket; same thing. When I called Tubewo... | |
| Looking for thoughts/opinions on tube seller's response to my question... Check out vintage tube services; the guy rates his tubes in four categories from line to moving coil. And stay away from current production Russian and Chinese stuff; you will be better off buying NOS as they sound much better and last much longer... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart I would stick with Pro Ject and just get a better table from them. Perspex would be my choice but it's a couple hundred over your budget. | |
| How much difference does an anti-vibration audio rack make Good luck finding the hole you poked in the floor with the punch and then fitting the spike into the hole you just made......four times. Makes more sense to place four spikes where you want them, put a board or something that will cover all of the... | |
| Silver plated copper As a long time coin enthusiast, I can say without doubt that copper oxidizes much quicker and to a greater degree than silver. Coin grading services even designate pristine examples of uncirculated pennies as a mint state condition with the additi... | |
| Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S Another thing to consider about your 58 year old recording is that everything originally used to produce it probably was powered by vacuum tubes, even down to microphones. A testament to the superiority of the old technology vs the new imo. Revolt... | |
| Buy 12ax7 tube Most of the tubes I get are from Brent Jessee; have also bought from Tubeworld. I think the guy is Brandon. Good products from both. | |
| How much difference does an anti-vibration audio rack make Uhhh, the magnets in my space rack would be of a circular configuration to fit within the cylindrical support legs, as well as being in their own small compartment surrounded with something like 30 weight motor oil. There would of course be weight... | |
| Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S The best record I have, and have had for more than forty years is the Sheffield Lab #9 "Confederation" by Larry McNeely. Geoff Levin, and Jack Skinner. I've not heard another that even comes close. | |
| Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S I've not bought any of the UD1S records but from what you say, they aren't worth a hundred bucks each. | |
| Silver plated copper I did not say that a copper cable, or any other, will corrode. My analogy was about a penny left out in the elements, especially if exposed to anything having salt content. An insulated cable in a home environment is not likely to experience oxida... | |
| How much difference does an anti-vibration audio rack make Yes, Elizabeth, you are correct. I failed to mention that the encased magnets should be in some sort of oil solution so that they have no chance of banging around inside the support column. I’m sure there’s other bugs to work out in something like... | |
| Buy 12ax7 tube I wold take the Raytheon or RCA over the Russian Genalex. I don't know where you'll get any of them for $40 though. I use Telefunken medical grade AX7 in my phono stage and original Tesla ECC803S for the AX7's in my amp. Telefunken is generally re... |
