Re: Equipment placement v cable length

Being lucky to have several turntables I have usually only ever run one at a time for space reasons. Recently I placed another on the side wall away from the main area necessitating a long cable run to the phono stage- probably 5 meters of coaxial cable. It sounds ok I have a spare phono stage What...

Re: Phono stage tingle

I occasionally get that from a MacBook, it isn't uncommon and it is probably you discharging through the case.

Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice

I can only answer 5. I wouldn't use hot glue because it needs absolute cleanliness to stick well and I think you will struggle to get it into the inevitable gapes in the joints. A quick curing silicon sealant however will get into the joints and is somewhat more tolerant of less than perfect cleanli...

Re: Speaker cables

As a diy fan (meddler) I often try to make IC, usb or speaker cables for a non Nva system I occasionally use. I have a couple of questions to ponder 1- why do you have to have the negative run the same cable as the positive run 2- what relays bass better- a thick copper cable or a thin silver alloy...

Re: Power cables and fuses

I'm waiting for someone to offer to sell me my own 30KVA generating system to eliminate all the noise from the power station contactors, sub-station transformers etc. Last time I needed power that clean and reliable was 20ish years ago and it cost 900Kg of Jet A1 per hour. The power may have been cl...

Re: Jokes & Funnies

Interesting fact of the day: :ugeek: The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did ...
