yet more proof that spending excess money on equipment is a total waste
@doctorquestian3 күн бұрын
Bi-wiring would be the same as if you had an automobile that had one battery (like most do) and running a wire from the battery to the heater, while running another wire from the battery to the headlights, and then telling everyone that the heater runs so much better and the headlights are so much brighter. Any technician would tell you that it's the same voltage. If you pop the top half of your receiver or amplifier, you will see that the terminals are hooked to the same place, they come from the same location. You are not accomplishing anything by doing the bi-wiring! Think about it as though you were hooking up a sprinkler system. The water flows into the system from the same location. You can come up with all kinds of different routes for the water to take to go to the sprinkler, but when the water comes back to get blowing out the sprinkler, it does exactly the same thing as if you only had one pipe going to it, if you do not understand this, I suggest that you go back and take a night class on DC electronics.

😢did I just waste money buying a turntable that isn’t this one? Why do modern TT’s not employ these basic, low cost (are they low cost?) but highly effective design features?
@m.zillch384113 күн бұрын
People often ask me what to buy as a modern equivalent to the XA and although I have been out of the industry for over a decade, my answer is: "To the best of my knowledge, there AREN'T any!" Thorens comes close with their TD-1600 for $3K, but the 3 springs isolating the transport system (the rigidly coupleded platter and arm assembly) are BELOW them, rather then held from the steel top-plate above (like on the XA) so it is unstable just like a bobble-head toy will dance around unstably when jostled for the exact same reason: placing the center of gravity up high above the spring(s), and clearly not at the center of the three springs (which adds stability) is just wrong Thorens. The Linn LP-12 (and I guess also the Ariston it is "styled" after) properly hangs the transport from above and therefore is a rip off of the XA, but it's currently around $15,000? just for the INTRODUCTORY version. The deluxe one, the LP-12-50, is I think $60,000. YIKES. (I got a quick demo of the basic Linn at my local Linn dealer and I asked to see how it handled finger taps on the top surface. Unlike my restored AR-XA (sporting new rubber washers on each spring to replace the 50 year-old hardened stiff ones) I heard a loud THUMP, THUMP, THUMP from the speakers meaning the Linn's room rumble isolation (and also its immunity from incipient acoustic feedback) is poor. I don't know much about the SME turntables but they use 4 springs. There's a REASON camera tripods use three legs, not four, and adding another leg/spring does nothing but introduce new problems; just like a 4-legged table often wobbles but camera tripods NEVER do.

Okay here's a very simple analogy that people seem not to understand ... === _Once you have a chain of adequate strength to tow a car, using a bigger chain does not make that car any easier to tow._ === That is... once you have an adequate means to accomplish a task, exceeding that solution will not bring any improvement. So what does this mean for audiophiles... and, in this case, for speaker cables. Basically it means that beyond wire of sufficient size to carry speaker current, you are simply wasting your money... wheelbarrows full of it! Lets take simple example .... 100 watts on an 8 ohm speaker... So the voltage for that is sqrroot(W x R) = sqrroot(100 x 8) == 28 volts. The current will be ... E / R = 28 / 8 == 3.5 amps. So now we consult a wire guage table (there's lots of them, do some searching) looking for a cable that can carry 30 volts at about 4 amps with minimal losses... (This will be interesting when people see just how light that wire can be!!) So, to retain full signal fidelity we need a resistance that is well below the resistance of our speakers ... for example: A damping factor of 10 requires we have 1/10th of the speaker resistance for a given length of cable... 0.8 ohms in this case. If we assume a 10 foot amp-to-speaker run of wire what gauge of wire is strong enough to "tow our car"? According to the tables at "Hyper Physics" ... 16ga wire is specified as being able to carry 22 amps (way more than we need) with a running resistance of 4 ohms per 1,000 feet. So if we select 16ga wire for a 10 foot run, we get a running resistance of ... (4 / 1000) x 20 == 0.08 ohms. (remembering there are 20 feet of wire in a 10 foot, 2 conductor cable) So if we use 16 ga wire, we end up with 1/10th the required resistance, with 7 times the current capacity required. This will easily "tow our car" with a huge safety margin to boot! Yes, that is plain old lamp cord... Nothing exotic or expensive is needed. So ... the bottom line here is that all your speaker wire needs can be filled with a simple trip to the hardware store to buy a spool of 16ga copper lamp cord, which is safe to use at up to 220volts and should cost less than $0.75 per foot. Now ... sit back and ask yourself why you've been spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars on fancy cables that will never outperform even simple lamp cord?

There are many times when a person who is trying to explain how electricity flows will use Water as a parallel. Try imagining that the signal coming from the amplifier is a giant water tank. Your volume control is like a valve, and as you turn the volume control up you allow more of the signal to come through. And then once that signal leaves the amplifier (or water tank), you might have more than one place to hook up pipes or hoses. Now if you hook up a hose and run it to your faucet, the water will flow and you'll have lots of water. If you run another hose from one of the other outlets on the water tank, and then hook that up to the same faucet, you'll still get water. It'll be the same water that the first hose is bringing to you because it comes from the same tank. Bi-wiring is doing what I just described. It does not help anything, actually you are opening yourself up to damaging your speakers, especially your tweeters.

This is clearly a very clever design. With the zero gravity tonearm I would focus on its groove reading benefits, not on the warped records as warped records should not be listened to to begin with, their wow and flutter is too big - a longer surface distance is covered within the same time alters the pitch, not only the thumps at the extremes of the height drop. Your warp experiment is really a tilt one as the record is not truly warped.
@m.zillch384121 күн бұрын
A change in tilt potentially may adversely alter distortion characteristics but it will not vary the test tone's pitch and I demonstrate just such pitch wavering, using instrumentation, here: 19:51 [The wavering is clearly audible, at least to me, although the test frequency I used is not where the ear is most sensitive to such wavering.] In the two AR Music Rooms (technology showrooms playing AR gear where no sales were transacted and engagement with AR personnel was entirely up to the discretion of the attendees), one of which was located on the Main Concourse of Grand Central Terminal ("Station") of New York City, they gave live demonstrations of the benefits of the AR arm's unusually low pivot height in its ability to greatly reduce warp wow, on ACTUAL warped records, not simulated warp records like I used in the video. [Only because I don't currently own any warped records.] This principle is still currently employed by at least some top name tonearms such as SME costing £7,550 (around $9,687 USD), for the EXACT same stated reason: "Axes at record mean level to minimise warp-wow." My translation: "Our pivots are placed right at the record's average play surface height in order to minimize audible wow (pitch fluctuation) when encountering record warps."

Yes. With a costly (~$1K) ABX box a computer inside it randomizes the inputs automatically so one person can test themselves. With my DIY "manual" ABX box you need two people: One person pre-wires the box's inputs, by random coin toss assignment, out of sight of the listener, and then hides the rear connections they've made with a black cloth/tape. They then leave the room and then the listener enters and tries to figure out if X is actually the same as A or B, but MY box costs only $20 (plus wiring)!
@m.zillch384122 күн бұрын
Oh, I left out that the listener is in control of the playback machine feeding the two DACs being compared, so they select whatever song they want and whatever master volume they want on the preamp/integrated amp/receiver receiving the signal from this little switch box's output, as well as when the song starts, and to pause playback for a snack or to take a break for any reason. The only rule is they must not sneak a peek under the black cloth/tape to see what truly is wired to X (A or B), plus the incoming music of A and B must (of course) be synchronized and at the same matching volumes. Otherwise a difference in volume would betray the secret identities. For example, if B was sonically louder and the listener notices X is also louder then obviously it would be a dead giveaway (also called a "tell") that X must actually be B.

Ostensibly the 60 people who participated in the vote and downloaded the two, Hi-res (96kHz), direct electrical recordings made by wire (meaning not acoustically through the air via microphones) of the two turntable systems being compared did indeed listen to them on their own, singular home stereo systems, in one room, from one seated position, with one set of speakers (and/or headphones if they preferred). It is important to understand we aren't comparing the sound of complete audio systems in a room in this test at all, by the way, just two turntable systems playing two LPs (one a $125 "audiophile grade" pressing used on the expensive turntable and a regular $26 version on the inexpensive turntable) played using two different cartridges, tonearms, interconnect wires, and phono preamps, always with the pricier version of each being used with the expensive turntable. Neither test signal passed through any loudspeakers, amplifiers to power those speakers, room acoustics, nor microphones. [All of those things being bypassed would have objectionably added high levels of distortion/noise/alteration had they been in the chain, compared to the direct wires coming straight out of the two turntable systems which were used.] More details can be found at that link I included, which I'll repeat here for convenience: www.avsforum.com/threads/500-000-vs-78-turntable-blind-test.3237117/?post_id=61442108#post-61442108

Of course its worth it, your halving the cables impedance and separating the drivers frequencies at the amps output, on long lengths of cable of 12ft and over biwiring is the way to go, same principle as adding dropper wires to a model railway, without them the train will slow down after about 20feet therefore you need to push more voltage to make the train run properly, yes model railways run on AC today to carry the digital information to the decoders the rule is simple: copper cable for bass silver cable for treble Without bi-wiring this is impossible. Also some like myself wire the tweeter out of phase in a linear phase scenario (technics themselves sold speakers in this configuration), this improves stereo width, again this is something else that cannot be done without bi-wiring. Even though the amp outputs full range sound its the cable types going to the drivers that makes the difference, and the reason why each set of speaker binding posts accept bare wire and banana plugs at the same time. when one cable tries to do everything thats when the problems arise, especially with long lengths of cable. silver cable carries high frequencies way more efficiently than copper copper cable is pretty hopeless at frequencies above 14khz biwiring will cut distortion by half, thats its whole purpose due to being able to use the correct type of cable for each frequency band. Neither copper or silver alone can carry the full range signal efficiently thats why they need to be split at the amps output stage, or wire them in an A/B speaker switch configuration, oil and water do not mix, the sole reason why manufacturers make their speakers bi-wirable in the first place, the inbuilt crossovers can then do their job properly. speakers work on AC not DC thats why biwiring works, (bi directional wiring) if it was DC then yes it would be pointless. basically 2 types of cable doing their job that theyre intended to. Its pointless biwiring on mini systems like the denon stuff because their speakers are not biwire compatible as theyre designed to be used no more than 5feet away from the amp, but for long lengths its a definate YES, in any case just do it, speaker cable is cheap even on mini systems inside the speakers will be both silver and copper cabling going to the drivers (if its a high quality hifi that is) In fact bi-amping is useless and destroys sound quality unless you have 2 finely tuned identical amplifiers with their volume levels and DC offsets set up 100% perfect. bi-amping is a complete pain in the backside and rarely gives good results.

Excellent! A very informative video. What's your take on expensive audio cables?

They are a decades-long, ongoing rip off. Optimal performance is attainable at very low prices although this is not to say any old wire will do fine. You need to use an adequate gauge of copper wire for the speaker impedance and run (length) which can be determined by consulting a reputable wire table such as this one: www.roger-russell.com/wire.htm#wiretable Differences heard with expensive exotic wires are a combination of the placebo effect, every single person on earth without exception is potentially susceptible to (so double blind test conditions are always necessary for wire listening tests), marketing lies, or an odd inductance/capacitance of the wire which makes the amp misbehave or exhibit a skewed frequency response the listener may errantly identify as an "improvement".

A bronze or gold plated strap works for me. Better than wires.

Given the short distance and the width of the metal straps, you are talking about tiny fractions of an ohm of reisistance... any metal strap will do just fine.

I've always loved my AR table, even over my heavy duty table with the Well Tempered arm.
