| Why Power Cables Affect Sound William Shakespeare got it right: "What fools these mortals be!" | |
| What is the best sound system you ever heard? Here is a system I heard at a friend's house in 1978: Thorens TD125/Rabco SL8/Panasonic Strain Gauge cartridge, Marantz 7 preamp (used as a line stage), pair of Futterman H3AA OTL amps and a pair of Quad 57's. After hearing this I resolved to get ... | |
| Need speaker suggestion for a larger room! Right now on Audigon there are a pair of YG Acoustics Carmel's for sale at $6500. List price was $18K. Beautiful silver finish! A one-owner pair. | |
| new L100? Why didn't JBL make them mirror-imaged? The sonic image will tend to be shifted to the side where the mid-treble drivers are positioned on the baffle. In this case, towards the right. This, to me, detracts from a realistic stereo image. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? I have: Rabco (TT and arm), Beogram, Saul Marantz, Revox and Diatone (Mitsubishi). I still think a pivoted arm is better (simpler and easier to set up). | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? Oh for the days when Switchcraft was good enough! | |
| How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer I got burned a few years ago when I ordered a tube preamp from China! | |
| How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer You would have been better off buying a pair of USA-made 805's (used still with good emissions). And for less money! | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? Remove the broken tubes. Remove the bottom cover and check for loose parts. If none found replace bottom cover. Buy replacement tubes. No need to send it to RAM in CA! Other than the glass tubes these amps are inherently rugged. Just don't drop it... | |
| Upgrade Suggestions for Rega P2 Get a Hana mc cartridge. Either a LE or LS, depending upon budget ($500 & $700). Add a Bellari SUT if the MF phono stage lacks a mc gain option. | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question I have the Sony Biotracer TT in my collection. It would be the only TT that I would trust to use if I had the Decca.This may be a great cartridge (as some claim) but its significant design problems preclude easy set up! | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question The Decca is a quirky design. It has different horizontal and vertical compliances. So neither a low mass or a high mass arm will work optimally with it. The best arm for it might be the Sony Biotracer (on the Sony DD TT). This advanced-design arm... | |
| Saint-Sean’s 3rd Symphony How about Munch and the BSO on RCA Living Stereo? Or Barenboim and the CSO on DG? I like these two! | |
| Hihat Question My Infinity Monitors with Walsh tweeters sounded astonishingly real with cymbals and high hats! Same for my Walsh Sound Cylinders! | |
| Wanting to sell speakers but don’t know how to price them...... hifishark will have examples of both and what they are selling for! |
