| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Poor wording on my part. No the cables do not calculate. The company measures all of your components' parameters and the company builds a cable with a network that that takes all of those factors into account. Now your search is over. Sorry fo... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I believe Transparent Cables does just what you ask - they take all of your equipment parameters and calculate the "perfect" cable specs for you. See? Your search is over. | |
| Speakers for.....every type of music? It's not so much what you listen to, as opposed to what qualities you value as a listener. I can listen to anything on my Tivoli radio with a 3" speaker and enjoy it. But if you require the impact of a rock band at loud levels, it's not going to... | |
| Cartridge alignment tool All these suggestions are good, but you should know one thing about the Mint - It requires you to line up the cantilever between two minuscule parallel lines and this is very painstaking and, IMO, virtually impossible on a cartridge with a small, ... | |
| sonic frontier sfd-2 mark ii DAC, smoke... I though Parts Connexion in Canada can service those things. | |
| Just an observation here, but???????? @cakyol - although the Linn has springs, it has almost zero isolation from footfalls. Believe me. Unless you're using concrete floors or some other unshakable surface, wall shelf mounting is a must. I thought they were isolated too, until I got... | |
| Just an observation here, but???????? Yeah, but there are a lot of turntables that are low mass and without suspensions. Some companies, like Rega, believe this is the way to go for sonic reasons and others just do it because it costs less and involves less setup problems. Every cam... | |
| Any comments on my Ayre AX-7e vs Ayre EX-8 vs Simaudio Moon 340i Integrated Amplifiers As you have a dealer, I would bring in your old amp and see if you can hear any improvement that is worth upgrading to. I would not worry about the fact that your amp is old. It's all about how it sounds. | |
| Weakest link - a different question? It is an excellent question and sometimes difficult to diagnose. After many years in this hobby, I believe strongly that the speaker/room interface is the most overlooked item in creating a system. IMO, in a normal domestic environment where spe... | |
| I'm still mystified... A seller needs to figure paypal fees into the final selling price, which, IMO, should include the fee at no additional charge. If a buyer wants to negotiate lower, the issue of the fee comes into play. As Dweller1 pointed out, if you don't like ... | |
| Weak link? I'm sorry I didn't notice your last post about auditioning at a dealer, which is smart, IMO. Unfortunately for your wallet, maybe you need to reevaluate your budget. Sometimes the sticker shock of an item puts us off, but once you get used to th... | |
| Weak link? Nobody can tell you what you are going to like better than what you have because there are too many variables. You will get many well-meaning suggestions here, and that's good. But, IMO, the only way to really figure this out is to make an appoi... | |
| LARGE speaker shipping options??? I would try to sell local for a half-decent price and not have the headaches. You go through all the trouble of shipping and they get damaged, or the buyer "claims" they are damaged and then you have to deal with insurance, refunds... Not worth... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? Or is this the best marketing ploy ever devised?I wanted a 105, but never got around to it until I heard the 205 was discontinued. I think I got the last one off Amazon. | |
| Factory checkup just before selling... I think an ethical seller is obligated to tell the buyer whether a unit has ever been repaired. But it's also up to the buyer to ask. |
