| Thiel Owners @john_5912 I'm currently between amps and now am trying to find reasonably priced, high powered, and high performing amps that will last. The 3.7's, similar to my 5is, need an amp that can double down to 2 ohms. It took me a couple of years to ... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant Which brand of Silver IC did you purchase?Stager Silver Solids. Quote from Marc Stager:"...it is not how a cable makes music sound great. It's about how it allows music to sound great by not hindering its transmission in any way>>>... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? @carpathianI believe the premise is that the speakers are resting motionless on the springs at a specific tension and the function of the spring is to isolate/dissipate vibration. So the premise is whatever energy would make the speakers move is ... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? Okay everybody, You all are much smarter than me.The isolation springs for speakers baffle me as an improvement in sound.We go through all of the effort to get the speakers in the correct place - distance to front wall, distance to side walls, dis... | |
| Thiel Owners @Jefant...Bass is certainly not bloated/flabby regarding Thiel Audio...I have CS5i's and certainly agree that their bass is tight and also nuanced...if you have a good source (and amp). My old thinking was that the source would impact the treble m... | |
| Jazz Music Question @qdrone May I suggest Shapes to Come by Ornette Coleman. Yeah , I have that one and enjoy it. 1959. | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 @atmasphere OK- so 3 feet of that is 100pf. If the cartridge spec is for 150pf the phono section should be set to 50pf. @lewm The 12 AX7 used in a common topology typically will add about 50 pF or more to the capacitance seen by the cartridge ... | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 @lewm9 What is it that your Wife does not Accept? I "inherited" a full wall of Harden Cherry shelving/entertainment center that the wife wanted out of the main floor.Pretty stuff and all hardwood. BUT, it does not translate well for the turntab... | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 @vinylvin I have the fluid damper but have not gotten around to installing it because I am still sorting out the best WAF for the table! | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 @atmasphere Tonearm cable is Cardas Double Litz 1 X 21.5 coax that is supposed to be 33 pF per foot.I took the phono preamp setting down another 50pF and will listen to determine if I can tell a difference.Thanks!Dsper | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 @atmasphere Okay, as usual, I learn from your posts.So, upon more playing around, here is what I did:1. Left the load impedance setting on the phono preamp at 47,000 ohms2. Finally found the cartridge capacitance spec on the Sumiko web site (did n... | |
| Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5 @ihcho If I were you, I would buy another brand new cartridge and test the overall setup.@atmasphere The one thing that isn't getting mentioned here is that your cartridge is beyond its freshness date. You guys are correct!I took your advice a... | |
| Jazz Music Question @charlesdad1 2nd point is that fortunately most jazz recordings transferred very well to Redbook CD (Thank goodness!). No doubt you can achieve terrific sound with a quality analogue/ turntable front end as well @ghosthouse4 Seems to me getti... | |
| Jazz Music Question Hi All,This is great stuff!I have albums by some of the artists you mention like Art Blakey, Chet Baker!, Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon, Grant Green!, Gerry Mulligan, Art Pepper, etc.; so I guess I am starting to get on the right track.However, the... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player I completely agree with ghdprentice. Just look at his post:Btw, I have been repeatedly dissatisfied and disappointed by digital for decades… the promise… the failure, rinse, repeat.He forgets to lather. But aside from that, well said. This is f... |
