| What time do you wear? I feel so bad about doing this, but I actually made my first Home Shopping Network purchase. I know, I know. I'm so ashamed. I bought these for Christmas:http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=2159282&web_id=2159283&sz=0&sf=&... | |
| Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good? Definitely don't believe any of the answers you have gotten so far. Your LP's are now trash. They will sound like poopy if you try to play them again after all these years. In fact, they might even qualify as toxic waste, so you can't just deposit... | |
| Audioquest pt-6 tonearm? I had a PT6 for some time. Change out the cable before you go anywhere else. That makes a big difference, for sure.I recently upgraded for a Moerch DP6. Phew - no comparison there in performance. Amazing arem, that Moerch, but I did have some moun... | |
| Speaker on its side as a center? I use 6 identical speakers for my 6.1 system. I was laying the center on its side for esthetic purposes, but tried standing it up to hear the difference. There definitely was one. Tweeter dispersion patterns and all, I believe. Only way to know is... | |
| Upgrading my tweeters and need some opinions...... I think you should direct your question to the experts at the www.Madisound.com forum. Most likely they will tell you that you should hear examples of all of those options, and then form your own opinion about the +'s and -'s of each type.Then you... | |
| Is it bad to stack your equipment One big issue with stacking involves components with torroidal transformers inside. Those are the round donought things. Picture this and you'll understand:A torroidal projects through the hole in its middle. Kind of like a javeline top and bottom... | |
| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? Most any kit based speaker from any of the reputable small, single owner companies out there who work out of their garage or small work/store space. Best bang for the buck for sure. Some are truely giant killers.Enjoy,Bob | |
| Music Your Wife Will Really LISTEN To with you ? Anything with a christmas title, but I really like the GRP christmas disks. Jazziz also puts out a nice compilation disk every December.Kenny Loggins - Leap of FaithForeplay - (the early albums)Sometimes she surprises me and comments favorably on ... | |
| VPI ScoutMaster versus Aries IMO the VPI JMW tonearms are better than the Rega's. If the Aries came with a JMW 10, lets say, and was priced the same as the ScoutMaster I would be tempted to go that way.But the Scoutmaster will probably be a better deal than the Aries with a R... | |

| Sony s7700 mods by Empirical Audio. Supposedly, if you're using the 7700 as a transport the power cord really doesn't matter - according to Steve at EA. If you're going to install an IEC I would be careful of the grounding. The unit only has an ungrounded 2 prong power cord now, so ... | |
| Sony s7700 mods by Empirical Audio. I've compared an EA modded 7700 against a few other well regarded transports and it came out stunningly well, or better, then these in most every way. I know some others who have also compared it against Mark Levinson & Meridian transports and... | |

| Audiocircle forum gone to the dogs? Tell me more about the V-cap's Bluemike. I also have a Mantissa into a Mccormack DNA .5 near Rev A. Did you replace or just bypass the white output coupling caps (forgot the brand in there but I believe they are multicaps, which are already intern... | |
| Tonearm Suggestions Is your turntable suspended or non-suspended? That could make a difference in what is recommended.I replaced an Audioquest with a Moerch PT6 this year. A big, big, big step up, for sure. But also a whole lot more $.There's always the used market f... |
