Even the manufacturers throw the figures out when it comes to
engineering a little 'cut and lift' in here and there to create a
*sound* do they not...??

Yes, some makers do indeed choose to alter the sound you will get
in
deliberate ways. Other may do so without having any clear idea what
they are doing. :-) But that does not mean they all do this, nor
intend it. Nor may the results be what those who made a recording
intended.


The minute you touch the Tone Controls (or Volume Control, come to
that)
you start to *tailor* the music to your own requirements....

Indeed. Just as moving your listening location or speaker positions.
But
the advantage of tone control adjustments is that you can alter them
as you
wish even whilst music is playing, or bypass them, and you have
detailed
control over the changes. It also allows you to avoid the groove wall
damage which a spherical tip might cause, thus altering the LP when
played
again in future even with a different stylus.



Nope, I didn't understand a word of that....

....unless you meant using different styli/cart to affect tonal
changes...??

In which case I have to say I don't bother (or only very rarely bother)
to do that....

How can a spherical stylus produce sound with 'balls?'



You need a record...

Phil is right about you, Keith. You're a limp Brit wimp, just like
those pretenders at WAD. Real tubies build real valve amp kits, like
my Velleman K4000, three EL34 per side for 18W in Class A and 101W in
Class B (measured, they claim only 16/96W). Now that is an amp that
leaves hairy footprints. And no cheap pseudo-Chinese **** either. When
you've paid for a K4000, you know your wallet hurts because the K4000
left hairy footprints on it.

Andre. Phil is no more right about Keith than he is about Jim, Don, Nick,
Patrick or anyone else that he attempted to defame over the years.

Phil has the social skills of a raccoon. Most of what he posts to Usenet is
comprised of cut and paste expletives . Every now and again, he
seems to emerge from severe dysfunctionality and does post something
of great interest. Such occurrences are becoming rarer.

Interesting you should mention the Velleman. It is indeed a good sounding
amp. It is a long time since I have seen a K4000, but I seem to recollect
it had four EL34's in push pull parallel per side.

It seems as though the K4000 is discontinued.
I listened to a 4040 not too long ago, with a pair of splendid Tannoy
Canterbury
SE speakers. Very pleasing indeed. The amp was running far below its full
power potential. The noise floor was exceptionally low. Later, a quick
look on the bench revealed the noise floor to be 100µV, so a
SNR of 105dB and at 96W, the THD was only 0.1%

The Belgians know how to make more than just chocolates:-)

I am also 100 % right about the Iain Cherchus autistic criminal.

Shooting would be far too kind for the likes of him.

Don't tell me I've become a *topic* amongst the Binned? :-)

Anyway, Iain - you do me too much honour to include me with such august
company! I'm only a dabbler who can't/won't commit the few remaining
active braincells I have left to serious *techy* stuff - I need them for
complex tasks like eating toast and tying my shoelaces....

The only mildly interesting thing about that clown's posts is the wacky
layout he uses to try and disguise the *seriously tedious* content (or
lack thereof)....

Phil can stand up for himself, and so can that sturdy builders'
friend, Keith, a biker and clearly not a "limp Brit wimp".

Too bad my little joke misfired.
