Re: Absolute Bargains!

That’s a good point re: forum rules. I didn’t use the tune method back then so it’s hard to say to be honest. My recommendation is that it’s worth a try and report back (I don’t have the Khadas anymore) since it was subjectively more musical to my ears but unfortunately NOT under the definition of t...

Re: Absolute Bargains!

That’s a good question. Depends on your budget. At the minimum you can use a 20,000mh power bank (Anker is decent), otherwise I had Allo Shanti 5V. And many others culminating at Jcat optimo duo and Keces P8. The power bank gives a fuller, more developed sound vs thinner and more bleached (comparati...

Re: Recommendation for 6m RCA Cable

Question: What cable do you recommend Answer: Linn Silvers, soldered with good solder chosen for its musical qualities Great. I’ll get some Mogami and solder them with audiophile silver solder!

Re: LP12 Building Advice

Also the torque is not optimized in the other places so that’s another variable…. Good work, Topkho! It's very worthwhile testing a few steps up and down from 0.5, which you found most musical so far. The interesting thing about torques (as well as many other parameters you can tune in a system) is...

Re: Absolute Bargains!

A bought a used pair of K20 speaker cable terminated 2.5 meters long for £20. Great, 2.5 m very very close to forum length and for 20 ... it's real absolute bargain. I don't think that anyone has evaluated the optimal length of K20. For K400 it's 2.48 m, but it is of a different construction than K...

Re: LP12 Building Advice

Hello, The arm collar bolts are not likely to be near as high as 1.6Nm and with a standard laminated armboard could actually damage it. I have not worked with a PU7 so I don't have precise torques for that. The torque of those bolts varies with the arm collar and slightly with the armboard/sub chas...

Re: LP12 Building Advice

Thank you for the very comprehensive reply… it’s time for some experiments indeed! I will report my findings… but first impressions is that the 2 screws for the arm height on the PU7 should be lower torque range indeed.

Hi everybody - I finally got a Richmont screwdriver… and I was digging in the archives of the forum to read some of the torque-related posts… wanted to make sure I interpret the posts correctly before I do anything.

Re: LP12 Building Advice

I think you missed 'exact order subject to correction', Lego. The main bearing is perhaps the most important part of the LP12 and the plinth is way down on the list. That I am not convinced of Karousel is a different matter entirely. I have installed a bunch of them, tried various torques and liste...

Re: Klimax vs Akurate Radikal

Long shot…. but I will ask the question anyway… if you had to choose K-Rad 1 vs A-Rad 2 at a similar price, which one would you pick and would be the most musical?
