Hi Romy,I'm not too sure if I fully understand your post. What I do understand is, that particularly Beethoven left A LOT OPEN the conductors' own interpretation(s) and I also understand that this was not TOO unusual a thing to do at this time. H...

Thanks Romy,now if you use active biasing, have you any thoughts on 'Rough' and 'Smooth' electrolytics?Also your diagram, as it seems to me, is misleading. Putting 2 same value caps in series actually halves their value (they're added when in paralle...

Hi Romy,I hope I got this right when going through this long thread with LOTS of information. Did you mention for upper-bass cross-overs Elko’s (electrolytic) only to be your preference? If I have it right, any special preference at all as ...

yes I understand your take with regard to those phrase, now what a about "too dull" or "not resolved" or "lack of detail"?Those would then be equally 'incorrect' for initial sound determination. If I use a different cart to my current V15 xMR, sa...

First of all, thanks for additional detail. As mentioned I can speak only for my Fidelity Research XF-1 (30dB). Loading it on secondary as you mentioned, it ALSO damps the trannie - result in my case: less resolution. Primary loading is MUCH more sen...

OK, this is useful also, in that you have not noted a "pattern" as you say. My point is closer to your suggestion, that I do change cart --- and sometimes buy new ones,  B U T I do not buy other SUT (at least I try to avoid it). I'm currently waiting...

Hi Romy, of course, no manufacturer give one value only (non that I would know), but will spec. a range starting with some value e.g. >10ohm or say >100ohm and either putting a cap at 500ohm, 1k or nothing at all, meaning 47k (if that su...

Right, so it is. B U T it seems not the case, that the final load-value the cart sees is the same with non-SUT, as is the case with an SUT. Unless your experience is different - therefore my question. If you look at Lyra's recommended loading specs i...

I would have thought 'Donald T.' somewhat more benign a character, he can actually smile! And so 'Sir Alan' might as yet get a bit more exposure to the US public, people like that I guess.As for the rest of this thread "...fired!"...

you have put one of his quotes under your post, so I guess you do. Despite not being inclined to take much note of anything other then your own 'philosophy', (which is fine), at least in this case you seem to do go with someone else. Nietzsche ha...
