neutrality & transparency: what's the difference ?
For the automobile engine analogy, Watts = HP, Volts is analogous to Torque and the amps are analogous to the rpm of the engine. HP=C x Torque x RPM. The analogy is not quite accurate, since HP is actually a rate of work done in electricity the te... 
Does sound travel better at night?
Especially if one is playing the 'Moonlight Sonata'! 
Is Direct Drive Really Better?
Gosh and we thought that digital wasn't as good as analogue! Why digital even manages to 'create' the same speed problems as vinyl LP turntables, as jitter! Bob P. 
In-Depth Explanation of the Audio Term "Synergy"
Me doubts that Fuller 'invented' the concept of 'synergy', since synergy isn't a concept but a word with a definition.His definition, as used in math, is closer to the chaos and unpredictability ideas than synergy. At any rate, Fuller's use of 'sy... 
What happened to the loudness control?
Eldartford, you have to stop using facts and objective numbers in your discussions - they just don't 'sound' as good as 'hearsay' and feelings!Bob P. 
In-Depth Explanation of the Audio Term "Synergy"
I thought that we were discussing what synergy means and how that applies to audio systems, not that people misuse the term 'synergism' to mean something else, such as 'perfect', 'I love it and it pleases me', 'great sound' or 'better sound than w... 
In-Depth Explanation of the Audio Term "Synergy"
It appears that indeed this is turning into a discussion of semantics. BTW, what does semantics mean? The answer to that question will explain why I say that the use of 'synergistic' to describe certain characteristics of an audio system is the wr... 
In-Depth Explanation of the Audio Term "Synergy"
Yes Tvad, but is the meal considered to be a 'synergistic' accomplishment? Not usually, but usually defined or caracterised as 'cuisine' or just good chemistry.Again, I submit that 'synergy' does not exist in audio systems, i.e. there cannot be a ... 
In-Depth Explanation of the Audio Term "Synergy"
Mrtennis, that is not synergy, but again complementary or balanced. An example of synergy and also why I say that synergy is mostly misused in 'audiophilia' is, when a preamp boasts 0.01% H distortion and its mating amp boasts 0.01% distortion, bu... 
Is Direct Drive Really Better?
Sean, you forget that the high inertia set-up, as you put it, also has high torque. Torque being force X distance from center, the torque being exerted at the distance where the stylus is from the center. Having inerta as an added 'store' of force... 
Seeking hot running amps
Still, no matter which amplifier, even tubes, you get, the most heat that you will get from the excess heat given off, it won't be more than the rated power of the amplifier, or about 400 watts for a high powered tube amp. Just get a space heater ... 
Low capacitance IC??
20kHz impedence?!! Or is that the roll off point due to the capacitance or what?Bob P.

What is distortion due to?
Sounds like mistracking to me and has nothing to do with anti-skating. Increase the VTF (with AS dissabled)and note if distortion reduces. Upgrading the arm isn't going to solve mistracking problems.Bob P. 
Which is more important, spkr. or intrc. cable?
Ecruz, how do you know if the info from the front end is getting through if the speaker end is compromised? Or to stretch a point, if you know you have wax in your ear canal, do you still insist on upgrading the source because you are afraid that ...
