| Change Single-Ended to Balanced input? Surprised not already mentioned, are the adaptors that go from single ended to balanced or the other way around. No mods required.Probably several sources, the one I am certain makes a great adaptor is Purist Audio Design. | |
| My 1st TT your thoughts, please? Your best bet for vinyl at a cheap price is the local used book and record store. The big one in Texas is Half Price Books and Records. Most areas in the country have similar places where you can beef up your collection for very little money. I of... | |
| US 2x110 volt 60Hz the same as 220Volt 50Hz The only safe thing to do is contact the manufacturer and ask them if the design will be harmed by 60 HZ.I assume the 2 X 110 (actually 2 X 120 Volt) line you speak of here in the USA is single phase and not three phase.Normal clothes dryer connec... | |
| Any Subs Linn Sondek Oil 1,000,000.00 a gallon If you can afford a Linn LP12, you should not object to $5.00 for oil. That is like buying a new car and complaining that motor oil is too expensive. | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? The proof is not in the pudding, it's in the PUTTING. Buy one of the used cords for sale at this site. PUT IT in your system on first one piece, then another. If after listening for a few weeks you disagree, it can be resold at little or no financ... | |
| I've been unfaithful with an SET amp. "Sentimental Every Time". Although some people claim it means Single Ended Triode. | |
| What is the BEST resistor for audio use A great idea from Tom Nice!If anyone tries his idea I would like to read a report of how various resistors sounded, and in what equipment. Would be a learning experience for everyone. | |
| Big sub-woofer sitting on carpet HELP I agree with Mcne, except that steel shot is magnetic, not always a great idea on top of speakers with magnets. If you cannot find lead shot at a shooting supply, try finding it at a dive shop. Dive lead for scuba, is coated in copper to conform t... | |
| What is the BEST resistor for audio use RE: An abruptly awakened spouse. Generally falling into four well developed levels of resistance. First, an audio receptor. Second, a music critic. Third, a dancer shuffling to the beat as they enter.Last, sounding like an angry rock group, prote... | |
| i have hummmmmmmm. You mention radio signals when you record. When this occurs, Is the Lynn turntable the source? I ask because improper ground at the turntable and /or phono stage often results in the reception of all kinds of RF signals, even ham radio and CB. Try... | |
| Most Analogue-like sounding Player 2k or less I agree with Maxgain, in fact the old ARC DAC 120 converters can now be bought for a few hundred dollars. You would need to purchase a nice transport if you do not already own one.In fact, you could buy the ARC and a Sony 9000 ES SACD player. You ... | |
| Tube Upgrades for CJ MV-52? For the 6SN7 position, the best choices are RCA black plate, very old (1940"s) Sylvania or if you can afford them, 5692 RCA ruby base.For the 12 AX7's the Sovtek is great bang for low bucks spent, better sound may be had from Amperex Bugle Boys, T... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Statis, I appreciate and respect the parallel you have drawn between the two hobbies. Spoken (obviously) by a person of intense dedication and passion, and I am pleased that you are here with us. | |
| Have you heard Rockport speakers? Bill, If it helps any, I agree with Audiokinesis and have chosen the exact speaker (Soundlab Ultimate Ones) as my reference speaker as well.Everything he has said about them is true, and in addition, I find that after committing to Soundlab in 198... | |
| Cables that make no sense... Pbb, my only suggestion is to NOT use Energizer batteries. That damn rabbit's constant drumming is never on beat with the software in play. |
