| exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical) Staying strictly with the OP's concept of best "instrument" (purity of tone, range, timber) and leaving aside issues of interpretation, phrasing, and in the case of 2 of those below, choice of material, my short list is, in no particular order:Lin... | |
| Speaker facade Because it matches anything? Because it often (perhaps mostly) is covered by a grill? | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Late to the party; just went and read the interview. That is some crazy s@#t. He may be a first class producer but he's also a first class narcissist. | |
| "Original" equipment vs. upgraded equipment I don't want to sound like a crabby old fart, but precision in language counts! Upgraded vs. original is not the same as modified vs. original when you are describing a unit for resale or determining what you think its value is. At least to me, ... | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... +1 timlub & gdnrbobOP- 1. The info you want is rarely openly available. Just because some of those units had an MM stage installed at the factory does not mean that the manufacturer has ANY obligation (legal, moral, ethical, etc.) to assist yo... | |
| I picked up a ROKU, I am wanting to cut the Cable TV cord. Hey Jim- Wish I could get your deal ;-) Comcast bills me about $250/month AND the phone service has multiple drop-outs after about 5 minutes. Eventually, you can't even have a conversation! Dealing with them is like dealing with a used car shys... | |
| Terminating Cables As far as solid copper speaker wire ends, Cardas makes them, too. As far as re-terminating Audience cables, based on email correspondence with the owner, I wouldn't recommend it. As I understand it, they are not a typical termination. You can s... | |

| Wireless 5.1 system Google was my first step, just looking for recommendations for the crew. | |
| Opinions requested Contrary to popular opinion, I’ve heard 803ds sound amazing w high quality push pull tube amplification. Specifically, the Doshi-modified Lectron EL-34 amp. I think it puts out about 50-60 WPC. Maybe model 50. | |
| Strange buzzing from turntable By any chance are you running a Grado cart? I have read that they are not shielded and some will pick up noise, esp. from the TT motor. | |
| Why are there no botique car audio recievers? One of the big problems right now that is depressing that market is the integration of the audio electronics with the rest of the computing power and electronics of the car. Most of those systems are proprietary so the days of just swapping in a ... | |
| B&W 801 vintage speakers in small space YW, lawlass (perhaps an attorney of the female persuasion?). Unless I missed something, you will also need a pre-amp (with phono stage if you want to spin vinyl) to switch sources and control volume. Rather than drop $1K on a CDP, I would go w... | |
| NOS tubes bdp24 and robererman and tomcy6 nailed it. |
