| How do I find an audio advisor who does home consultations? I think you should not be so adverse to dealers. Yes, I have had some negative experiences, but dealers have helped me put together some really great systems that I don't think I could have done myself. Don't be intimidated and let them try to h... | |
| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! I've seen several people get so hung up with analog that they stopped playing records because it's "too much trouble". Plus they are always obsessing about alignment, VTA, etc, etc. IMO, analog should be fun. Yes, we should try to get an accura... | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one Everything other than sitting home and eating chicken every night is a waste of money. So now what? | |
| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! Amazing. Who would have thought?It's nice not having to fight with static discharges and go through a ritual every time you put on a record, isn't it? | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one Why would anyone replace a functioning Ittok with an Akito? If your Ittok is totally fu**ed, I would replace it with the Project job Linn uses on the Majik. Or at least find a decent Ittok - there are plenty around. Are you sure you're getting t... | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one If you like your linn, all I would do is replace the cartridge and get a new set of springs and get the table up and running. After that you can research the newer upgrades and decide what you want to do, if anything. Those old Linn/Ittok combos... | |
| HC Power cords for tight spaces -- unicorn hunting? The Audience AU24 cable is quite flexible and Audience can terminate it with any connector you like - meaning straight or right-angle. | |
| Oppo exploring additional production of UDP 205 Nice that they're doing another run. Just a note to new owners - As SnapSC noted, the 205 does run what I would consider to be somewhat unusually warm for a SS player, but runs significantly cooler in the Pure mode. Just press the little P butto... | |
| Spay for CD Try the Audiotop CD treatment. | |
| On Line Audio Mail Order Retailers I think most of the online retailers who sell high-end stuff have people who can give you support when you need it. It's kind of strange though - Most of these online companies charge full list for their products. When I go to a brick and mortar... | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? Yes - look for a speaker that sounds good at low volumes. I’m not being sarcastic. One of the many mistakes I found that people make is doing demos at loud volumes and then deadening their ears. I think ears react to sound like pupils to light. If... | |
| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! It's good that you're open minded about GG. I've used it on brand new records before I had a RCM and I thought it worked well, Just follow the directions and don't use too much, but don't use too little either or you will end up charging the rec... | |
| Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable! If you have a static issue, Gruv Glide will totally cure it. Period. I'm not saying it sounds better, it will NEVER hurt your records or any other things that make people start lining up like Gangs of NY. IMO, based on years of use, at least in... | |
| The Future of HiFI? Originally I was thinking that a pre-requisite to buying these things had to be a person who was interested in actually listening to music, but then I thought that anyone interested in music would want something better. Now I'm thinking that it's... | |
| Speakers on speaker stands-isolation ideas? I know we're talking sound here, but I have to again mention safety. A painter knocked over one of my Opera Callas monitors held to the stand with Blu-Tak. I was able to grab the unit by the speaker and the stand and speaker stayed together as o... |
