Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2
I would suggest that going a bit slow is not a crime.,, and doing it right can be a chin-scratcher. You can call or find dealer and look at what is on offer. And some manufacturers answer the phone. I could not find Velodyne, but Martin Logan ha...

drbond , you will hate any analog high pass filter. ^That^ is a bold statement. And how do we reconcile the fact that most speakers have a crossover in them, and those are analogue? (Or are we throwing that out because the ESLs may not?) Whil...

I don't agree with Holmz in some cases, but for me to debate Holmz here would only confuse you further. Or maybe it would not?   Suffice to say, as I said before, a properly integrated subwoofer will not give you the sensation that the cello...

  Hmmm…this subwoofer project is looking complicated: often it does… Many do it digitally, and that is a lot easier some ways. However if the main analogue chain is nice, then we can complicate it with an analogue approach, which is in fact a ...

I truly did wonder why you thought Raul’s quote was humorous. Along the way, I could not resist the anatomical pun. @lewm I liked the pun. So you get a point. (But let’s try and resist using digital in an anatomical pun please.)   The two be...

Are you addressing me? No @lewm . It appeared that @Raul was using your quote, in a way that was oblique and directed at me.

lewm : " I truly did wonder why you thought Raul’s quote was humorous. " . Easy, because he did not think in that way before. Seems to me that is his way of audio life kind of think because he posted twice something with no sense in reference t...

  Holmz, I am no fan of the REL approach, for the reason that if you drive the subwoofer off the main amplifier output, then neither the main amplifier nor the main speaker derives any benefit in terms of reducing the workload inherent to reprod...

Lew, the high pass is made it at the input of my amps ( cap/resistor ) the low pass is made it by the Velodyne electronics. Maybe you can do the  same or look for a second hand Bryston croosver. In the link I just posted you can read about 12"...

    Dear @holmz ​@drbond : At the end digital tech is used in almost all today subwoofers through the DSP that is the one that can gives us ( comes with a microphone. ) where in position and to our " ears " makes the " best " system/room integr...

It needs to be totally transparent in order to do no harm to the signal at all audio frequencies. Is there really such a thing? One can it in analogue… there is not a requirement to do it digitally. If one’s glasses are thick, then the DSP m... 
What is your to earl’s Maximum Distortion %?
I would be looking for whether there are any head shell options that allow the cart to move further away… assuming it has a detachable head shell. There are on-line calculators that give you the pivot to stylus distance https://alignmentprotracto... 
So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2
Nothing that has been offered as solutions seem viable. Static is random, forget about it. The only suggestion that makes some sense is the the possibility on a weight sensor on the table to detect record weight. The Achromat is much lighter than... 
LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus
@classicalpiano  Serious commiserations. However…if I ignore upir obvious loss, I find this interesting.  What is the mechanism that caused the loss? I am assuming it was a structural thing in the inner ear? And thank you sir… I think I’ll now ...

Thanks @rauliruegas  @mijostyn that was a gentlemanly offer to Bond. I have some taps and access to a milling machine. So let me understand this… The alloy piece with the 1 hole in the middle and then the 2 holes for the cartridge. It is that t...
