| What is the best DLP front projector? If I were going to spend that much money, I would buy tickets to Vegas, and see all these in person at the CES. If you are buying from a dealer, there should be no problem in getting them to obtain you a guest badge for entry. | |
| Attenuator puzzles This may or may not help with this topic, but I know of at least one manufacturer that builds a quad deck, stepped, single resistor in path, (balanced) volume control that he is preparing to motorize. This may be adaptable to other projects, depen... | |
| Advice on cartridges! For what it is worth, who ever Musikdok is has said exactly what I would advise, in every way. Readers here know I am an analog addict, and my experience with the Dyanvector arm, Dynavector cartridge, the Benz line, Koetsu and (listening, but to o... | |
| High Fidelity Sex Objects Hey, that was a low blow! | |
| Really good home electrical wiring. If I read your post correctly, looks like you still intend to order the Wattgate AC outlets. Is this correct? In response to your question about THHN, I think the insulation (and tightness of same) is perhaps superior to Romex. However, THHN is ge... | |
| Really good home electrical wiring. I agree with the above posts, but recommend avoiding the Wattgate outlet in favor of the Hubbell. The Wattgate is a stock (hardware store variety) outlet, made by Leviton, and plated gold to look good. The Hubbell is actually manufactured from the... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Excellent point John, and not unlike some of the bargains I have found. I suggest those of you that have decided to give LP a try, keep your eye open for Public Libraries that sell out their analog collection. There are some rare and incredible it... | |

| FM Reception The only thing more difficult than chasing hum (noise) problems, is trying to chase good FM signals. I understand your problem, and the only solution I can think of to try, beyond what you have already done, is to get a FM antenna (outdoor type) a... | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges Hi Carl. I have experimented with cartridge load in the Aesthetix IO phono, and the hand trimmed resistor provided by Lloyd Walker (Walker audio) was an improvement over the standard one. As far as other places in the circuit, I agree that any res... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? I agree that not everyone is equally influenced by the effects of burn it. I unfortunately, am one of the more sensitive to this problem, and really have to exercise caution when testing. This is not a new or revolutionary thought within the audio... | |
