| Dynavector coil repair I disagree. Only if you had a local dealer, your long time bought everything there nice guy dealer, would that person do you a FAVOR and trade it. Sorry you ruined your cart, but no-one is gonna fix YOUR failure.I have seen plenty of crying over "... | |
| HELP Sony cd changers are skipping Just to say I have used Sony ES changers for many years. First was a CD89ES, Then 2 CD9ES now I still have the (slighly misfunctioning 9's) and a demo SCD333ES.The problem I have had is never the laser, it's the flat cable from the laser sled to t... | |
| Service or Replace ARC D90 Amp If you can use the amp as is for a time.. I would skip the referb, and use the referb money to buy a newer ARC amp. Save the old amp once you get the new one.. (you may decide at a later date to :sell, fix locally, or have ARC do it)After many yea... | |
| Updating a 1991 Sony ES receiver Have you taken the cover off and blown out the dust... ever?The most likely problem causing overheating is dust inside the receiver. Check it out.Best to get a can of air (for dusting computer stuff) | |
| Who was your first in the 1960's when I started listening.. I disliked Jazz. Never did learn better until I watched Ken Burn's Jazz on PBS. I watched it again on DVD and fell in love with the Jazz form. I guess I never understood what Jazz musicians were doing until... | |
| Buying expensive used CD player/transp = bad idea? Laser assy will last a LOT longer than the hours you guess at. I had a Sony ES89CD changer that I left on every day all day for my pets FOR EIGHT YEARS. Plus I used it myself.That is like 50,000 hours of play. And it failed because the computer ty... | |
| IRS Beta -- help I had an Infinity RSII. I tore it apart and sold the EMIMs and EMITs. (threw out the woofers and cabinet)The usual failure in an EMIM is the tab that connects the wire to the EMIM panel. The inner parts are no longer produced, nor carried by Infin... | |
| Smooth treble Smooth treble is NOT rolled off. Smooth is a perfect term for the phenomena. Smooth means it is 'not jagged' thus it is clear, precise, and more exactly what the original sound was.I can most easily hear it on a good soprano recording. Some sopran... | |
| Are some cord companies "potting" the Oyaide ends? The stuff is put in to prevent oxidizing of the raw wire ends. It is a valid practice.If you need to experiment, buy raw wire and connectors and make your own. Cords that are modified are basically unsellable.Save your money, save your cords, and ... | |
| Peanuts from hell Peanuts for pack suck. Use foam. I can always find some that was used to ship computer gear. the best! | |
| Promotional copy - any different in sound quality? The 'promo' really MUST hace a promo (special, different) label to have any value.Earlier years of LPs had plenty of special label promos. (for example: Columbia records has a white label instead of the red label..)A few promo records even come in... | |
| I have four B&W 801's, two 603's and a B&W center The wattage you need depends on how LOUD you plan on playing them.Normal (background) music is usually less than a watt per speaker. Loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage will need a thousand watts per speaker.If you plan on listening at r... | |
| Grading Used Lps: What to look for? The "PIG IN A POKE" syndrome is what you have buying LPs sight unseen. The sellers reputation is everything.And you should pay for that reputation. I still buy a few LPs now and then.. but only when I can SEE them. I used to buy on ePay years ago.... | |
| Am I hearing the effects of "clean sound"? ? Windows open? I think it was partly the windows.. | |
| New LP Returns An aside about LPs. Back in the day when LPs were the only choice.. the records were pressed every day all day.. in real factories. The folks pressing them had YEARS of experience.. and knew how to run the pressing machines.Now.. All the old dudes... |
