| Gruv Glide Gruv Glide is one of those products where less is better.The usual thought is if a tiny tiny bit is good, then more is better. NOT with Gruv Glide. Same thing for contact enhancers, The tiniest bit possible is the trick.If it is gunking up, then t... | |
| Adequacy of Mac MC7300? Missing something: the Mac is output transformer coupled. Thus it can have that sort of control over the output.A PS: Mac amps and Magnepans are not a good match anyway.Many other good amps for Maggies, so unless you already own the MAC stuff, and... | |
| Anybody find themselves revisiting old threads? I commented on a thread I had posted to TEN YEARS AGO.Hard to believe it.But yes i do look at old threads.Looking at other folks info. by clicing on thier 'threads' answers' You can see blurbs the moderators have chosen next to the persons posting... | |
| Power cord replacement where first? Agree the source should get the PK-14. Though trying it on the Prima Luna would be a good idea too.Sometimes the theory is not the best in practice!Good luck. | |
| Soundstage, Imaging, Detail & Presence?? Larry offers good definitionsAdding that soundstage is the area that one can hear/sense the image of the music in.The soundstage can be small, large, actually wider than the speakers, foreshortened, or deep. With the balance off the soundstage can... | |
| Replaced Mid-RangeBest way to Burn-IN ??? If it is a tad bright, put a hankerchief or some small bit of cloth over the new driver, to muffle the driver just a bit. If you play with the screens on, just lay a cloth under the screen at the new driver. Figure out some non-damaging way to kee... | |
| Phono-pre: subsonic filter on or off ? Use it IF you need it. The only reason to use a subsonic filter is to avoid the woofers rumbling, or subsonic moving in and out. If you have enough isolation of TT from the low frequency output of the speakers, and have no problems with low freque... | |
| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy Sorry, I wear a hair shirt to atone for my wayward ways....Anyway i have a great selection of used Lps in my area. I can go to four good used places and find Lps I want in the $1 to $8 range anytime. With the good places, i do not even have to bot... | |
| Sound blead through on LP Two forms: One is caused by pressing issues, those are alway exactly one revolution of the LP befor the loud music starts.The other is a master tape print through, and can be any varied length of time in seconds before the loud music starts.So usa... | |
| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy I like the responses from the Vinyl lovers. I have both CD and vinyl.I have to run my DAC through a tubed preamp used just as a makeshift tube buffer (and actually have to leave a cheaper powercord ON that VAC Standard, or it lets too much of the ... | |
| Why do some model names use "MKII"? I like Brf's response! Some manufacturers tend to do this more than others.Other just come out with a new model. Either way, it is the best way to raise prices!!Like Manley just raised prices. They would have been better off to do a tiny bit of 'u... | |
| Shelter Harmony cart... a touch bright ? What is the impedance setting?I would lower it if that is easy to do.Most phono preamps have a means to lower it.My Benz is at 300 ohms, and my Dynavector is 30 ohms to be best to my ears.Usually higher impedance makes the top end brighter in my e... | |
| Disappointing Evening I have never had anyone who was as into audio as much as i am, as a friend. Of my closest friends, they have devices to play music, but the total cost had to be in the hundred dollar range, then others who really have no interest in recorded music... | |
| Speaker sounds with bigger or smaller drivers? Not if you value accuracy over euphonics. The old big woofers just made a lot more noise with flabby control, and uncontrolled self created harmonics.Modern speakers have far more control, and the pistons do not break up into harmonics easily. So ... | |
| Sony SACD 5400 ES: how to get it in standby ? Agree with "If you can turn it on and off with the remote, it is in standby".The problem as i see it, is the EXPECTATION of the electronics being left on!Because some power amplifiers and preamps HAVE a partial stay on where the electronics are st... |
