| Strange turntable/speaker issue You are welcome. I agree that it sounds (bad pun) like a rumble issue. Good luck with the filter approach. | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Further Thoughts/Suggestions: Another vote for lubricating the motor, if at all feasible. Without going crazy Three-In-One oil will work just fine. Replace the turntable belt. They’re available on eBay for approximately $10.0... | |
| Daily Audiophile Stuff all in one place, great tip. Thanks! | |
| Which courier do you prefer? All three carriers are subject to under-delivering on service. Bad pun intended. Since moving to the Southeast: The USPS is the least offender. My favorite though is when the carrier blows off the day and marks my package (out for ... | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake Mike, that’s a great question that can take you down a very deep rabbit hole. Probably the less dissimilar metal materials used the better. Your ears may be able to identify the difference(s) but I’m pretty sure mine probably not… | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake Not to throw a damper on this suggested solution but I own several sets of those adapters. They are designed to fit older/vintage barrier strip or small screw-type terminals. The spade portion of the adapter is likely not wide enough to fit on the... | |
| Budget phono stage under $100, cheap but refined, does it exist? If your need is not immediate, keep an eye open for a previously enjoyed Lounge Audio LCR MKII. (This is the one with the wood case.) From personal experience it is amazingly satisfying for the very modest investment. | |
| Turntables @luvrockin I have enjoyed the Rega Fono MM in combination with a Rega RP25 turntable/Rega Exact 2 phono cartridge combination. Not surprisingly the combination provides excellent synergy, non-fatiguing/musical LP playback and after initial set-u... | |
| Micro Acoustics 2002e Chris, When the opportunity presents itself you may want to increase the tracking force to 1.2 grams and see/hear what you think. Enjoy! | |
| Micro Acoustics 2002e Experience yes, recent no. I purchased one of the first 2002e’s when they were introduced. It was eventually installed on a front end consisting of an Infinity Black Widow tonearm mounted on a Kenwood KD-500 turntable. I remember a very balanced p... | |
| Caps and Tubes George, This subject has been pretty well covered, so just additional affirmation from a former ARC LS16 owner: The Wonder InfiniCaps™ are definitely stock. The ARC Database is a wonderful reference tool but know it is not in ... | |
| Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions So it would make sense (in my pea-sized brain) to purchase the KT-77 tubes from Kevin @ Upscale Audio. You already have one positive purchase experience with him. Although he’s not the lowest cost provider, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing th... | |
| Amp Repair Grade: F I’m going to leave the subject of getting anything done right (let alone the first time) alone… Your two McIntosh units have not only sentimental value but real value as well. Why not invest in having them serviced by some of the best, therefo... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? @uberwaltzAssuming your collection continues to grow, one of the aforementioned on-line databases may be the way to go. I can definitely use more memory. I’ve often thought that if someone could figure out how to defrag the human brain they would ... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? Records are stored library/bookcase method in modular Per Madsen record racks. They are arranged alpha within basic genre categories: pop/rock, blues, jazz, classical, etc. Record dividers by Koeppel Design (guilty pleasure) are utilized. Total co... |
