Michell Gyrodec Turntable
I always thought that task of a turntable seems to be simple. At audio frequencies, the arm should be kept locked above the groove, without any motion relative to the cartridge. And the LP should be turned at a constant angular speed underneath the stylus. This means that, the pieces ie. platter, bearing, (sub)chassis, arm board, tone arm, and cartridge body should behave in a rigid and non-resonant fashion. John Michell (R.I.P) was a brilliant engineer and has various solutions for the issue. One of them was clamp. Michell...

This was a dream come true. Back in 2005, when I wanted to buy first real hifi system, I made months of search and fall in love with this arm. At that time I couldn’t even think of owning one, but as years passed I go deeper in this hobby and at last I have one. This arm is the physical state of pure engineering. Some one can argue that there are better arms, and in fact there may be. But Series V will always be a true classic. [nrelate-related] The functioning of a pick-up arm appears simple but is in fact very complex....

If there is only one magician in this hobby, that is definitely Israel Blume. Very few manufacturers produces such a wide range of products with this success. Although he started business with speakers, now he is producing pre-amplifiers, power amplifiers, step-up transformers and cables. Many people chooses speakers first, and then choose the best amplifier who can drive the speaker. In that approach choosing the speaker is priority. But I believe in another approach: Choosing the amplifier first, and then narrow the speaker options...

Originally my room setup was different and the title was The Bad, The Worse and The Ugly. The room has not changed but I made some arrangements to make a better placement of the rack, and some acoustic regulations. Now I made a new placement keeping the Hi-Fi on mind. [nrelate-related] The Good: This is my main living room, but I designed it to serve me a listening room as well. Formerly my system was not symmetrically placed in the room. But now I moved the speakers to the short side of the rectangle and placed them...
devamı...Room: The Bad, The Worse and The Ugly
Like many audiophiles I also had a dilemma when it comes to listening room. Since I don’t have a separate listening room I have to use my main living room as a listening room. So I designed the room other parameters than “acoustics.” Thats why I had problems it the room design. Here they are: The Bad: Hi-fi system is not symmetrically placed in the room. Right speaker is quiet close to side wall; while there is a big opening in the left side of the left speaker. And the speakers are quite close to wall; just 15” away from the back...
devamı...Counterpoint SA-5.1 Pre Amplifier
Preamplifier is the core of the system and in my belief must be chosen more meticulously than other components. It is your Conductor at your home orchestra, he will manage other components; so your music tastes must match. In that sense I can say that I truly love Counterpoint sound. Neither warm nor pure clear. So pre-amplifier choice was easy for me. [nrelate-related] This unit was built in the era when lp’s still were the most popular source for music. And in that era, commercial products were not being designed considering the part...
