Sure, you've obviously got *no idea* how to set up a
turntable/tonearm/cartridge.....

I was probably setting up quality arms and cartridges in the days you
bopped to your Dansette.


Supposition and conjecture as always (your SOP) - I never owned a
Dansette...

Define loudness as you mean it.


OK, as I mean it: All my sources are routed through an SS control amp
which has two 'pre outs' - one goes to a valve power amp with a
volume
control on my Lowthers, the other goes to an SS power amp (no volume
control on the inputs I'm using) on multiway TLs. To match any given
'sound level' at the same distance (loudness) I have to *turn down*
the
volume control on the valve amp - say about a third of the way from
full
volume. IOW, with both power amps at max volume (no attenuation),
switching from the SS to the valves (even only 9 Watts' worth)
results
in a tremendous increase in loudness from the valves/horns.

Does that do it for you??

Heh heh. It just shows your complete lack of understanding of basic
electronics.


You asked me to describe (compative) loudness as I meant it - I did. You
want to twist that (incorrectly, as ever) into me not knowing the
'electronics' involved, be my guest...

(In any case, I have often stated that my knowledge of electronics is at
the 'it's a capacitor if has the phrase "not a resistor" stamped on it'
level and yet I am able to build or repair electronics equipment, if and
when I want....??)

Get a life (or a job) Plowie.....



Bet you look at car speedos too to see which is the fastest...


I thought Speedos were swimming trunks...??

That'll be the day....

Merely countering your conjecture that I have no idea about setting up an
arm/cartridge combination with another, dear Keith.

But answer the main point. Are you stating you have never heard a
difference in quality between the start and end of an LP - on the most
perfectly set up record player?

No, you have provided enough evidence on this group to make that a
certainty...



But answer the main point.

My amps work (better than some made by *experts* it would appear) and so
do my repairs...

Deal with it....

Have you done a double blind test? You need to get the same track
pressed
at 2 or 3 places on different discs at the same amplitude and then
double
blind listen.

Okay, I know it happens in theory but I never noticed when I listened
for
it.



Neither has Plowie - he's just bull****ting...

Have I? Examples? Or does the fact I hear distortion on LPs that you
obviously don't lead you to think it's my player that's at fault?

Say 'please'....

Certainly not.

Your lack of reply speaks volumes.

I'd need a definition of 'work' too. By your definition of loudness it
might provide a few laughs too.

Although how you manage to repair anything without being able to identify
component values defeats me.

Deal with it....

I only hope you're not repairing things for others. Too many fires around
already.
