The above quotation from the New Testament, according to the most common interpretation which is of interest to me here, says we should distinguish between temporal and spiritual authority. I am not religious but it just came to mind.We seem to be b...

Well, it might be not EXACTLY on the subject of “buying a last cartridge” but it surprisingly has a lot of connection with your post above. Sometime I need to post the emails that I am getting from my site – this is very educational to observe what k...

Very good idea, I like it. I had the similar idea but liseniing you I think I come up with better then I had before idea how to compare the results. This is not so simple question. I am sure one can just listening the samples but I think this is what...

[quote user="analog10"]Hello, this is my first post here - this is a wonderful web site, critical and fair - a lot of knowledge here and i consider you real connoiseurs - that's why i'm hoping to resolve my problem here.
I have a Micro Seik...

If a car engine does not stat then among zillion reasons why it does not start there are only two main reasons - there is nothing to burn or there is nothing to light up. The very same I think is about my Second Tonearm. Since all cartridges on this ...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

I, after being sick and tired form the Denon 102 misery, got the Ortofon Mono needle. I was under impression that Ortofon Mono was true mono cartridge with one coil. However, when I opened it up to mount it’s insert on my “Chernobyl Spinnaker” tonear...

There is an interesting and predictable pattern: the pattern of the idiot-reviewer above universal stupidity. Those people are so uninformed about themselves and about world that they do not even feel where they expose own incompetence and short mild...

"Synergy" as a BS concept is not about technical compatibility, such as getting a tonearm resonance below 12 Hz or getting proper speaker sensitivity and impedance for a given amplifier. It is about the bogus notion of choosing colored components su...

2023 was pretty weird for me, continuing battles with health issues and enduring cures that have been worse in some ways than the ailments. Somehow, I managed to build and integrate The Loudspeakers during this time, resulting in what turned out to b...

I worked a little bit with those and I compared it to Vibraplane.The Minus-K are ok, they do a good job BUT they move very easily, they are very wobbly and based on that, you can only use them with center weight Turntables. And based on their size, w...

Since I painted myself into a corner with only one tonearm and one cartridge, and my one cartridge has gone to the Ortofon Spa in DK, I am sans phono until my cartridge returns. This means I have too much time to think about a phono stage, as oppose...

It's been some time since I've listened to my hi-fi. Today I started out with my DAC because I wanted to hear a new (to me) CD. After about 2 hours I switched to the K&K, listening first to Verde, then Brahms PCs 1 & 2. By the time I got to the 3r...

Rakesh, before everything: you use MS Word to type messages and it has some strange styling formatting that My Word cleaning server scrip cannot clean. As the result your posts screw formatting of my site. I was trying to research what style item...

I need to admit that I am partially a full of shit in this subject. For sure all the audio methods that I have mention are very beneficial to play Bruckner but the essence of the Bruckner music does not come from some kind of proper playback methods....

I bought today a fresh copy of “The Absolute Sound” #151. Did not really meant o read but rather meant as usually to glide among the pictures and to learn which audio whore drool about a “new” bogus products. I seldom read the articles more the a few...

Obviously, the header is just for Romy!Well, it took a while, but with development help and official intro by Michael Fremer, the new OMA DD TT is finally here!https://oswaldsmillaudio.com/k3Featuring the Best of Everything, including a bespoke Schro...

In impatient, ill-advised. manic efforts to "compensate" for the EFFECTS of bad power I have swapped ICs, used different output taps, re-configured grounds, swapped tubes, re-positioned speakers, adjusted VTA, messed with my BR ports. And ...

In the last 10 years I had some chances to visit owners with very expensive Systems (>500.000,-- $) and all they had the same in common:
Absolutely no idea about real High End or Music reproduction and I mean non, nada, nothing, they went to a d...

Romy,
As with all such matters,
‘Tis dangerous when the baser nature comes
Between the pass and fell incensed points
Of mighty opposites.

Romy,It's ok, I was just being a smart-ass about Fremer. Yes I understand that VTA is the angle that the needle hits the record and that the elevation of the tonearm base is how it is adjusted.Here is a picture of my turntable and arm:https://docs.g...

I thought the Forsell TT was called the AirForce. What happened to them? Are the descendants now called TechDas?
Maybe someone can clarify: what does a TT need to do other than provide freedom from vibration, a place for a tonea...

This year is the first winter that I live with this new listening room. Last winter the playback was up and I still was playing with minor arrangements of my ULF channels, cable and a few other things. For many months I do pretty much nothing with my...

Romy,Hi, new here. Great and very interesting website. I think a lot of people have misread you, they don't expend the time to actually think about some of the things you have said. Anyhow, looking at the above schematic (is this sa...

After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

Well, I think the larger then rational mass of “silent” TT platter eliminates all other moments. If you have a 150 lead-like platter then would it be direct drive, belt drive, or pinch roller would be absolutely irrelevant. The moment of inertia of t...

[quote user="Paul S"] It is intresting to me that despite the insane pricing of the Schroder arms, this is yet another case where it seems necessary spend as much as possible to get the best realization of the "key features" that might actually m...

Sure, add 20-30g to whatever you use now and you and then your Grado will become useable. I have seen in past that some Morons who put their ignorant opinions in a position to shaping the public knowledge (they called reviewers) have written that Gra...
