A bit of search and it turns out that VPI and Simon York use something more sophisticated than RCA on their tonearms: they use Lemo connectors...and immediately fuck everything upby connecting it to their "RCA connection box", right next to the arm H...

[quote user="Paul S"]Is there such a thing as partly unshielded arm wire? If you want that run shielded, don't you have to start at the cartridge connection? [/quote]Paul, the tonearm wire runs inside the metal armwands (EMT & SME), which in tur...

[quote user="Paul S"]But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?[/quote]Of course not because of that! The ideal would be the connector I've shown but made with pure ...

[quote user="Paul S"] God, this sounds like the very worst sort of DIY threads! FYI, I HATE DIY![/quote]It sounds but it does not necessarily mean that it is :) Let me try to deffend a bit my last postings:DIY is a self propelled random walk "let's ...

I'm wondering if anyone used the industrial standard 2RM-type of connectors for a DIY Lo MC phono connection?http://www.trimmer.ru/?target=61&nom=20251The smallest is 2RM14 with 4 pins, 1mm dia so pretty low mass--no big diameter jump along the p...

[quote user="Paul S"]Meanwhile: If you are going to use a SUT, this actually is a Big Deal that will profoundly affect the Sound you get from your system, regardless of which connectors or solder you use. I recommend you integrate the SUT (with its ...

[quote user="Stitch"]here:http://www.partsconnexion.com/connectors_rca_goertz.html[/quote]Thanks Stitch. I cann't speak of sonics but visualy it looks like in the title--a classical high massRCA design from the 40's (or 30's ?)...only done in silver ...

[quote user="Paul S"] I have not tried the Eichmann, but I will do so in the near future. It seems stupid to me that they do not make a Ag socket. No surprise, my experiments suggest that the Ag connectors "improve" the "silver qualities" of the Ag...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The guy who did my Expressive Technology SU2 transformer after he heard my pontifications the silver is bad told me that there is some silver in my transformer. He did not go into details and I think as now the “secret” wil...

[quote user="decoud"]N-set, if we are at the level of worrying about solder, does it not make sense to drop RCA connectors, and their inherently village design, and switch to something better specified like BNC? Is this not otherwise a little like ta...

[quote user="Jorge"]Shouldnt your SUT be placed inside the Phono stage directly? that is a real advantage. [/quote]Jorge yes, the SUT/SUT's are definitely in da house of the phono--ther are some pics up the thread.I'm not convinced foil is a good ge...

[quote user="Paul S"]I have not tried the Eichmann, but I will do so in the near future. It seems stupid to me that they do not make a Ag socket.[/quote]Yes indeed, and I'm very much reluctant to have a free-air (i.e. not soldered) connection betwee...

Thank you for the input guys. Paul, I hate those audiopedofile(tm) talks about connectors, but unfortunately I must go through it: there is possibly one non-kosher element in my planned Ag path: Au-on-Cu Vampire, connectors soldered to silver cables...
|
|
Paul, thanks again for a nice input--sounds for me indeed seductive (well, I'm anyway +/- "self-convinced" to give a silver/amo a try).Do you use silver wire also in the tonearm? What I have in mind is a 2nd, all silver path for the 834, which would ...
|
|
Paul, thank you for your input![quote user="Paul S"]I think with the SUT the "dynamic" loading the cartridge "sees" may swamp the choice of wire metal. Once the loading is dialed in, silver might be nice. [/quote]Yes Paul, absolutely agree--the ele...

Ok, I admitt I might have gone too far with my generalization: I do not know the guy, a chance (faint in my experience with that region) is he has never stolen anything. My general disregard of ejaculations of dirty money, be audio or whatever,has no...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I generally against pure silver-winded transformers ...[/quote]Romy would you care to elaborate on that a bit? In particular have you hear amorphous/silver combination?I've never heard a silver SUT myself, or actually any o...

How do you know i'm Polish in the first place? If someone presents any pose on this forum (I have no idea about any Polish forums)this is you. Don't get me wrong, but please fuck off. I don't remember readingany interesting thought or experience from...

I have an anal fantasy of a full silver path from the cart to the grid of the input stage.This brings me to finding an ambitious silver wound SUT. There is Slagle who can make it,but I'm inclined towards amorphous/nanocrystaline core, so there is Lun...

I'm wondering how much one had to steal in the 90's to afford such a system in Russia?Fuck him and his system....

Paul, perhaps I did not understand your posts correctly, but observing your battery obsession throught the time I cannot get one thing: why the freak you are hooked up to the idea of a small, neat battery powered phonostage so much that you start to ...

[quote user="Paul S"]I love the "meaty" sound of those cartridges! But it isn't enough for me.[/quote]I'd would not call it "meaty" at all at this stage of my aquintance with it (all the caveats from my above post re optimization apply).My TSD15SPH ...

I heard from number of people that OA2 is too noisy for phonostage.For example, in this article wrote about this http://www.audionote.co.uk/articles/tweak_ai_p2_phono_mod_01.shtml

Yes, I'm wondering why they did not organize the concert in one of the 1000 churchesin Gdansk, but, as I spoke with a person from the city's culture office, most probably it wasfaster and cheaper, since Arturshof belongs to the city--they did not hav...
