I don't doubt that it sounds different with mushrooms. We've already made modifications like this when you were probably still swimming in Adam's sausage cauldron. Back then, the springs were stuffed with foam or stuck in several layers of shrink tubing. So I also know how the difference...
I would do that if anyone o them can provide a measurement of Signal to noise ratio and rumple to noise level in front of. As long as these measurements are not available, these mushrooms are a no-go because they have a resonance frequency in the audible range and will significantly worsen these...
I´d rather doubt that. Original Linn springs have resonance frequency situated at 6 Hz, those gel mushrooms at 23 up to 49 Hz depending on the sub chassis weight. This is in the audible range and consequenly an absolute NoGo.
I want to remember the end of summer vacation five decades ago and Clive Campbell. It was August 11, 1973 when Clive's sister threw a party in the Bronx at the end of their summer vacation there; Clive aka Kool DJ Herc DJed there all evening. In the Bronx they called it a block party back than...
Dave Slagle of Intact Audio is a very good address for high-quality transformers and a very nice guy with a lot of experience. Some of the most renowned manufacturers rely on his skills and products.
Thanks for clarification. But I didn´t say "your experience", I wrote "our experience". ;) And I did that on purpose because listening experience is a highly individual experience and to about 99% driven by psychoacoustics.
So understanding the main principles of how SUTs are working, how to...
@Solypsa that seems to be a misunderstanding. I said that any SUT needs to match electrically to the cartridge specs as there are inductance, impedance/dc coil resistance as well as it´s output voltag, the capacity and resistance of the phono input stage. That´s the reason why I also said that...
I´m sorry but you did by arguing that people who answered might not have heard the correct SUTs so far or telling me I´d rather post on another forum if I want to see some reliable facts. Furthermore the question was not for the best sounding SUT but why they are so popular and what might be the...
You also argued that those who don't seem to share your opinion about the sound of SUTs just haven't heard the really good SUTs yet. :eek:
May I please return the question nonchalantly?
Every decade had had its ToTL SUTs. Have you experience with all of these vintage TOTL SUTs also and...
I already thought of that you might be coming up up with arguments about how it is sounding. You´re wrong with that.
A SUT is a technical solution that works perfectly when inductance and impedance/ DC resistance of the MC Cartridge and it´s output voltage as well as capacity and resistance of...
It´s all about effective mass and the MC cartridges compliance that needs to match.
Sorry, but what is written about arm tube material on the 3009 is nonsense. Otherwise enthusiasts around the world would not be happy with 99% of all tonearms. Aluminum is a very common material for the arm wand...
I wouldn´t call it a benefit in regards of classical HiFi terms but beeing a technical solution. Background is that the lower the output and impedance of a MC cartridge the more complex it becomes to deal with proper amplification. At some point those active MC stages start to hiss slightly and...
Walnut from Greaves of Sheffield Ltd and fluted since new , Ittok LV II and Audio Technica AT-155LC, but now upgraded with Stack Audio Serene Tenor Top plate & baseboard, Analogue Innovation Sole Subchassis, acrylic armboard earlier and finally with Mober computerized DC motor kit
This you must ken!
From one make ten,
And two let be,
Make even three,
Then rich you'll be.
Skip o'er the four!
From five and six,
The Witch's tricks,
Make seven and eight,
'Tis finished straight;
And nine is one,
And ten is none,
That is the witch's one-time-one!
And here's what the divine...
Some preliminary work with Stack Audio Serene Tenor, Gedore, Stahlwille and Belzer Liliput
Stack Audio Serene Tenor top plate and baseboard went also in.
Here you can see the screws of the Serene Tenors sandwich construction
Theo Stack of Stack Audio sent me a Serene Alto Cross Brace...
