| Want to rip my CD collection to a NAS and play through Sonos Connect. Need advice Thanks nekoaudio, I think I was making things more difficult than they needed to be. I ended up getting a USB hub and a 4TB external HDD. Using iTunes to rip to the drive using Apple Lossless. Added the new drive to Sonos and I am mak... | |
| Sub-woofer connection question Thanks mr_m, my integrated amp doesn't have a tape loop, but I understand the function of the crossover. I was looking at some external crossovers, like the one that B&W sell, and at $3k it would be more than I have in all the rest of my c... | |
| Turntable / cartridge (and isolation) to match my pre-amp, speakers and room Thanks Steve! I will try this test tomorrow. I appreciate the info.Eric | |
| Turntable / cartridge (and isolation) to match my pre-amp, speakers and room Thanks williewonka, The Music-Hall mmf-5.3 has a dual-plinth setup (made of MDF) So I think I am good there. Thanks for the links to the ball-bearing footers... that looks like something I could do. I think Herbie's also has something s... | |
| If you had to choose between Okki-Nokki and Pro-Ject record cleaners.... Thanks Eddy. What did you upgrade to, after the Okki-Nokki?Also, nice shovelhead (I think... hard to tell from the small pic but looks like a pan bottom-end with a shovel top... I had the same setup in the ’80s). | |
| Improve volume from turntable with a new cartridge? Update: I ended up getting some new components, all from Music-Hall. And I am really glad I did. I got the mmf-5.3 TT, bought a Herbie's mat, and have been really enjoying my old records.I have been following some record-cleaning threads,... | |
| Turntable / cartridge (and isolation) to match my pre-amp, speakers and room Thanks Greg, and sorry to be so late in replying. I ended up going with the Music-Hall mmf-5.3. According to the owner’s manual, it does indeed have a VTA adjustment and an azimuth adjustment. The dealer set it up for me, but I have a test LP reco... | |
| Sub-woofer connection question Well, I did a bunch of A-B listening, and decided the sub-woofer was not adding enough to the sound to make it worth the cost, and the prospective cost and effort of running a cable under the floor from my amp to the sub, so I returned it for stor... | |
| If you had to choose between Okki-Nokki and Pro-Ject record cleaners.... @mambacfa: I am not 100% sure that I do not have *any* static, but I do notice a difference after changing my method of cleaning, therefore I am sure that cleaning has a significant effect, and that I can further refine the cleaning process so as ... | |
| If you had to choose between Okki-Nokki and Pro-Ject record cleaners.... OK I called the store and found out I was mistaken... they carry Okki-Nokki and Nitty-Gritty... they must have a thing for rhyming names :)So let me re-ask the original question. Between Okki-Nokki and similarly-priced Nitty-Gritty, are there s... | |
| Sub-woofer connection question almarg wrote: But the JL Audio manual does not specify one method over the other. Actually, it does. On page 16 of the manual it states as follows:Speaker Level Inputs: This feature is included for convenience when needing to connect the Dominion... | |
| Sub-woofer connection question That's what I was wondering about, and why I tried the speaker-wire connection first. I was hoping that if I used the sub in parallel with the satellites, that the highs and mids would go one way and the lows would go the other way (to the sub).I... | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) My local hifi shop looked at my bookcase and room pictures along with the measurements, and recommended the B&W 682 since they are front-ported. I listened to them alongside a pair of Paradigms and one other bookshelf speaker and I went with... | |
| Improve volume from turntable with a new cartridge? Update: I cleaned the (built-in to the turntable) RCA connections at the pre-amp end with Caig De-Oxit (I use it on my motorcycle electrical connections) and now there is less of a volume discrepancy between the turntable and the CD.Also, I have f... | |
| Why such low power with DIY tubeamp kits? I did see that kit and it look intriguing. Maybe I’ll get one for a project. |
