| Old yamaha yp d8 turntable Your question made me look for the Yamaha on the web, I knew what the Technics looked like. Your right, the Yamaha is attractive, and there's one at Ebay for less than $200.00 with original box if you have not already located one. Sorry, but I do ... | |
| Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock Those are tough questions since I really don't know your preferences. The JBL I mentioned is not exactly audiophile quality but it is a very well made speaker and many rock and jazz concerts have been performed through lesser gear.The reason I men... | |
| Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock 110 to 115 DB is serious sound pressure levels. Lots of people think they know how loud that is, truth is most can't grasp the number.In my opinion, you will have to go to commercial sound gear to achieve that level safely. By safely I don't mean ... | |
| Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock Some audiophile speakers do rap and hard rock pretty well and other do not. Most will not do the ear splitting levels found in hot New York dance clubs with 1KW transistor gear powering big horns. Like many at this site, I listen to all kinds of m... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? While speaking with Purist last week, Jim told me the break in process for Aqueous Anniversary was a lengthy ordeal and the Purist break in disc (CD) has almost no effect on accelerating the process. I don't know if this is a recent turn of events... | |
| Preamp impedance mismatch with McCormack DNA2 Steve McCormack would be an excellent source for the answer to your question. I have known Steve for nearly 30 years, a very bright guy who will answer without any bias.This is a natural since he's doing work for you. | |
| WHICH WIDE SCREEN HAS SAME VERT. HEIGHT AS MY 36 Albertporter,What size diagonal screen monitor are you using that has a 26 1/2 vertical height?Thanks.Audio girl, It's 55" measured diagonally. It's a Sony, Grand WEGA (rear projection) LCD. It had the best picture for the money. Perhaps third or ... | |
| Contribute to best speaker count. See, that's what high end audio is all about! The Radialstrahler MBL 101 E is not even in my top 20 list :^). | |
| WHICH WIDE SCREEN HAS SAME VERT. HEIGHT AS MY 36 That should equal a 46" HDTV. I arrived at that number using my 16:9 HDTV and converting its measured screen size with a calculator. Mine is 26.5 X 55 (or multiply height by 2.0754) of actual SCREEN (not cabinet).Of course the most reliable way to... | |
| Directv HD: HDMI or component for best picture? I have the new H20 box, it was installed about two weeks ago, along with the new 5LNB antenna.The differences between component and HDMI are big, which are better likely depends on the TV and personal taste. On my Sony HDTV Grand WEGA the componen... | |
| How do you know if you need a power conditioner? I have had terrible results with all power conditioning, from the cheapest to most expensive. Nothing I have ever put in my system did good, only harm.If you live in a high rise and share electrical with 200 other peoples TV's, computers and AC un... | |
| Contribute to best speaker count. I can't make a list and name three or less, too many excellent speakers. How about 10 or less, and in no particular order? | |
| $2k for new Cartridge Benz LP or...... I don't see weakness in the turntable or arm. If anything, that combo should deliver excellent dynamics and bass, more reason to play to the strength of the midrange which the Koetsu delivers in spades. It would be nice to have your report on the ... | |
| $2k for new Cartridge Benz LP or...... You could buy a used Koetsu Rosewood for the 2K and still keep your Benz as a backup, or sell it.I have owned several Benz and Koetsu cartridges and the Koetsu is a more satisfying cartridge by far. I never felt emotionally connected to the Benz, ... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Guido Sez: Huh? Oh no, I know exactly how the CLC works. . . same as my lucky-pet-Pecan, which I used to carry in my pocket for several years. Guido, Is this the bit where you ask a pretty girl to reach into your pocket?She says," I feel silly doi... |
