| How dose your plinth sound? Jphii - I would love to see and hear those different models, especially if the arm and cart are the same. Incredible research! Here's a picture of my Corian based TT (and other stuff too):http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/modules.php?set_albumNam... | |
| Silver interconnect and Copper spkr wire synergy Complementary colorations - I agree wholeheartedly. It is definitely best to get equipment wiothout colorations and mate them together, the room included. Unfortunately most of us don't have access to the funds, or the equipment or the dedicated r... | |
| Silver interconnect and Copper spkr wire synergy It's all system dependent. I tried silver IC's in various locations only to find that I lost that midrange palpability. Yes, the top end was airier and even the bottom end tightened up, but the midrange is where you live and magic there is importa... | |

| DIY mesh sleeve Go to Home Depot and buy a 50' colored nylon rope - the kind you see rock climbers using. Cut to length and pull out the middle. Then use the colored outer casing as your sleeve. It comes in cool colors (purple, bright green, bright red, yellow).E... | |
| Fuse for the powercable compartment DNA 225 I have the DNA .5 and when I blew a fuse I couldn't find a replacement. All I could get were slo-blo's and this needs a quick-blow. I called Steve McCormack and he had some mailed out. Incredibly nice guy.Enjoy,Bob | |
| McCormack DNA-125/225 Upgrades Zaik's - if that's a stock DNA 125 that you've got ... and you like it as much in a week as you do now ... then I believe you might seriously consider Steve's mods as a viable alternative to updating your other reference amp. There's noting subtle... | |
| need more smoothness I agree that silk's are far less hostile than metal tweeters. However, the crossover slope shouldn't make a bit of difference in the presentation of the tweeter. The crossover has everything to do with the integration of tweeter and the mid/bass d... | |
| Physically awkward components... Yeah, like top loading CD players/transports when you have no other choice (usually due to WAF) but to stack components in a cabinet.Enjoy,Bob | |
| need more smoothness Try some inexpensive tweaks first, like putting felt around the tweeter. You may not even need a full ring (a little goes a long way).What are you driving them with now (tubes or solid state)? Do you play CD's or vinyl or both (vinyl is generally ... | |
| Headphone Amp - Perreaux vs Musical Fidilety For what it's worth - I just picked up a pair of HD600's also (seems lots of us got these at a good price recently, after rebate). I'm using my Nakamichi headphone jack with a dummy tape paused for recording. I can easily adjust level and have ple... | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now Unbelievable deal at my local shop just after Christmas:$4.99 per bottle - Lindeman's Cabernet Sauv (from Australia).This little gem is better than many $20 bottle's!Enjoy,Bob | |
| Compare: Basis Debut, VPI TNT, top Teres tables Can't say as I've heard these tables, but I have a buddy who has gone through many, many tables in the past. He's had the TNT and said it is very detailed with slam but lacks a certain "musical" quiality. I can understand this; it seems to be a tr... | |
| CES 2004 Best of Show Why does the Joseph Audio Perl alwys get a rave year after year? This year paired with different electronics than in the past. They must truly be damn fine speakers, as simple looking as they seem. Yes, I've heard them too, in the pst, with Manley... | |
| VTA setting up.....how do I find level? As a start, and if your arm is not tapered, the simplest way to get to "level" is to take a lined index card and place it behind the arm wand as it lays on the record surface. Line up the card's lines with either the top or bottom of the arm wand.... |
