| Surface noise Well, it's at least 4 or 5 years old. I wish I could take a stab at how many hours, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be close. Maybe 1,000 hours tops? I do have another older Grado to try and I will this weekend when I get home. Just to describe the soun... | |
| Surface noise All. Just between songs, not during the song. | |
| Surface noise I used that device that was included in the Hi-Fi news set up record. That was to double check what I had originally used, which was some download that I printed out several years ago. Wonder if my stylus is wearing down. Would that make for more ... | |
| Surface noise Yes, I clean with Record Doctor vacuum and fluid every time. Noise is there even on brand new 180 gram vinyl. I just checked set up with Hi Fi News set up record and everything seems fine except that track which they explain is pretty severe. On t... | |
| Placement of components in audio rack So, you run a long IC from your amp to your pre-amp. Is that OK? I don't have any IC's more than 1m, so I'd have to go out and buy some long stuff. | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq crossover Thanks. I was able to find a dealer in NJ. I found out from George Kaye that the input impedance was much higher than I thought, 270K. Vandersteen doesn't make a crossover for that exact number, but sent one set at 200K. The explanation is that es... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq crossover Thanks so much for the advice. I'll try Sound by Singer in my area for the crossover. | |
| Providence RI Funny. I'm sitting in Denver right now at the rather outdated and mediocre Loews Hotel. Anyway, I hope some more audio enthusiasts will surface, otherwise we'll have a pretty small club, but that's OK too.Thanks,Brian | |
| Providence RI Chiming in from Newport (well on weekends anyway and where my system resides). Would like to get involved too. I know there are some audiophiles in Newport, so hopefully they'll chime in too.Thanks,Brian | |
| ipod connection to home audio system Thanks all. Can I somehow utilze the DAC from my Quad CDP-2 cd player? | |
| Upgrade to Luxman PD-441 turntable I'm a bit suspect of the tonearm as some tech had changed out one of the pivot points that supports the arm to the tonearm base (it's different from the original) and the arm lifter seems to be shot once again. But your point is that going with a ... | |
| Getting HD cable signal to Infocus X-1 projector The projector has a lamp usage tracker. You'll see it in the menu. I'm just wondering if the color wheel or something else will crap out right after I get a new bulb.Do you think there are bulb upgrades that would improve the picture? | |
| Getting HD cable signal to Infocus X-1 projector I've connected the VESA to component adaptor and there is a slight improvement over the S-Video connection, although not real drastic. Here's another question; I'm up to about 3,300 hours on the original bulb. Should I get another one for $300, or... | |
| Getting HD cable signal to Infocus X-1 projector Thanks for your help.I did get in touch with Infocus customer service and they suggested the VESA to component adaptor, which I have now ordered.Hope it helps. | |
| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs Thanks for all of the great perspectives. I definitely agree with some of your experiences (even the old Thiels seemed to thrive with more power; would go deeper. Also, they were always a bit too bright for me. CD's could get annoying although vin... |
