| Streamer upgrade? follow up. the Node is good enough to discover new artist via streaming. do i want to pay thousands for something like an Aruender? nope. i can get just as good sound quality by purchasing and downloading the same lossless file from Presto if i really re... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @reubent I use the recipe shown here with success. I then do two rinses with a vacuum machine. https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rushton-paul-diy-approach-ultrasonic-cleaning-lps/ | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack I certainly WOULD give it a try but I need WiFi connection and have a perfect 800mb connection. Lumin, aurender, auralic all require direct Ethernet and that would be a pain as I have a 120 yo home with thick brick walls. can aur... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack and can’t imagine a much cleaner result. I think that's a common reaction to new upgrades, but the fact of the matter is that there's always something better. I considered an LPS for my Node but ended up getting a different streame... | |
| Audiophile Switch with Clock? In other words - please ignore the sane voices in the hobby! In other words, please ignore the people who are not speaking from actual experience. | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup Thanks, @lalitk. I appreciate your and everyone else's advice! The power cord on the Aurender in an AQ NRG-Y3 and the one on the DAC is a factory-style one, albeit very beefy. I have a few Oyaide Black Mambas that I can try on any of the compo... | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded Totally stock. I did a little tube rolling years ago, but didn't hear much of a difference. My system wasn't very resolving or fine tuned back then, though. | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @bh123 - Great post. I had a similar experience going from a Node 2 to a N100SC. | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded @jafant I have one in my rack but haven’t used it in years since streaming is so good and easy. | |
| Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique @baylinor & @mijostyn It seems tilted to the left a bit. No. The stylus is not perfectly perpendicular to the record. It is slightly tilted to the left side of the photo. Correct. That is what I see and why I started this thread. I ... | |
| Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique The stylus is on a reflective surface, not a record. I'm not sure that having it on a record would add any value, would it? If anything, it would eliminate the reflection which would be a worse way of looking at it. Is it even possible to see t... | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? How is it that the consensus is that an ET2 won't work on a table with springy suspension but it works well on an Oracle? Is the Oracle's suspension not considered springy? I have an ET2 on an Oracle and it seems to work well. I'm just wonderin... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ketchup, I used epoxy to attach the flat springs to the 15 cm I-beam. @delm Thanks. Bruce Thigpen told me that super glue works well, so I assume that's what he uses. I'm sure epoxy would also be fine, too. | |
| Direct Drive My own tonearm adjusts azimuth to less than 1 minute of arc, and just this evening I found myself changing over a +/- 2 minute range with clearly audible results. Not many arms can do this, and unless they can, cartridge performance suffers. @... | |
| Direct Drive As in a classical motor, the rotor is driven by the stator due to electromagnetic interaction. Nothing physically touches the rotor (in this case, synonymous with the platter) in a motor What about the bearing? |
