| Turntable Thrumming Welcome aboard John. Have you tried turning off the motor and seeing if it stops? Getting a test record really helps with this stuff. It will have a track of unmodulated grooves that's made just for checking stuff like this. It could be the mo... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question It’s so easy to set up a double pole double throw manual knife switch with the two cables being compared. If I was an honest non-snake oil cable manufacturer and wanted to get super wealthy from selling a great cable I would set up some good blin... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question @thyname Yes you did offend me. When someone calls someone else’s thoughtful well written post "raging" I think it’s stupid and that offends me. And you do this kind of thing regularly, you did it to me early on when I first joined. You are... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question @mgrif104 Yes I read your post and I do believe you. You heard a difference. And I admitted that I should get a better outlet and power supply cords for my amps. The wall sockets are weak and also the socket on the amp itself where the... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question @thyname Raging? His post has more substance in one sentence than your usual sniper pot shot useless troll posts. You are really good at them. Anything substantive to add? What's wrong with what he said? It's light years more than what... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question Yes measurements are maybe half useful and more useless, but expectation bias, placebo effect and when the beer happens to kick in are all things. They are both a thing. As for power cords where does it stop? Certainly outlets should be chan... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question Everyone except you and I is hearing things, and I’m not sure about us either. There was another test where all they did was change the color of a light bulb and people thought the speaker "changing" sounded different when the speaker did not cha... | |
| Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable? Ionizers create ozone. Ozone is not good for rubber things like turntable belts and is harmful to breath. ******************* I’ve been going nuts on the static/record handling thing for a month now and this is what I have learned; Took me 50 pl... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? I threw the Hudson anti stat brush across the room. That’s the second one. What a waste of time. Yes the carbon fibers in it are conductive and with a meter I checked continuity to ground through them. It's a high resistance but there is a path. ... | |
| How tall do you like your images? One reason why I like my LRSs and my previous MMGs is the large soundstage top to bottom. And now that I put them on subwoofer bases they are even taller. Maybe too tall now, now when they are close I tilt them down a bit. Changes the high/lows... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? I can confirm that DACS can sound different. The one in my Onkyo 7030 is warm and somewhat polite, If I go coax into my high end - ahem - Fosi Audio DAC 05 the sound becomes more clear with better highs. I also just had a SMSR and Topping DAC i... | |
| How Do Amps Affect Soundstage? If only there was a way to measure soundstage, transparency, definition and dynamics. | |
| Magnepan owners. Fuses or what Yeah but I’ve blown a fuse on an older Maggie. I suspect the fuse changing thing gets into the psychoacoustic area and I’m not willing to risk speaker damage for a placebo effect. A fuse perhaps adds a tiny resistance to the higher currents. None... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? I check static by hanging some toilet paper and seeing how the record pulls it or not. The zerostat will neutralize the record but it does seem that some static builds up again while playing. Makes sense to me that it's from the stylus. And I l... | |
