| Can Woofers Be Repaired? Yes.Many "reconing" companies exist. They can replace the entire cone, but that is expensive. (usually good classic speakers have this done to them) You can buy just the foam surround too, and using rubber cement glue it in. You MUST make certain ... | |

| How Much To Rival Good Digital Playback Since the requirement of "good" is so subjective, as is each persons individual tastes...For me I am happier with my $250 TT + $115 cart. + $450 phono pre-pre analogue starter setup than my $2,500 Sony SACD.And LPs... from zero to almost 4,000 sin... | |
| What music have you been buying? Old or new? Old. 99% is old. Near current is a PJ Harvey LP. Everything else is like Mono shaded dog, six eye Columbia... Some rock from the eighties, more from the seventies, classical from the 50's through the 70's. Jazz 40's (on LP) to 60'sAnd I ask: WHAT ... | |
| Thin label stickers for cd-r case sides? Oops!, in my experimental labeling, I noticed that the label does not stick too well to the plastic. The solution is to pre-wipe the area of the plastic case with some 90% alcohol. It will not damage the surface, but it removes the "mold release a... | |
| help on my Denon DP 72-L The two best recommended by both Stereophile and The Absolute sound are the Ortofon Super OM 20, or the Shure V15Vmr. The Ort can be had on the 'goN for $115. new in classifieds from a Canadian dealer (search Ortofon) and the Shure is $235. averag... | |
| Thin label stickers for cd-r case sides? fooling around I made a label and stuck it on a thin CD-ROM cover edge. PERFECT!! the letters are about 1/2 the width of the full thickness of the side, and are clear and easy to read. ps: The item is sold at office supply stores, and Best Buy. Th... | |
| Vinyl way too quiet through headphones Who ?? told you not to use the high gain setting? When it is OBVIOUS that is EXACTLY what you need to do!Try it out!!! It ain't gonna explode!! That's what it's made for!!! | |
| Thin label stickers for cd-r case sides? Label making device $20 from Brother called the P-Touch.It can make labels on 3/8 inch wide tape... the good part is it can do TWO ROWS in that 3/8 inch. The letters for the two row style are about just the right size for the side of a thin burner... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 happy with my Denon and Dual tables... Thankyou.I feel your pain. Perfection is a hard road to hoe.I am satisfied with my used Denon DP59-L TT and my Dual CS7000 'Golden One'. Maybe I'll try a few midprice carts, but no fumbling toward nirvana for... | |
| Are internet sales taking business or not? HA HA HAH ha hah hahaa...If a retailer is not into the web based business, and not making a killing on home theater installation, they are a corpse waiting to be buried.EMPHATICALLY YES!!! Ordinary audio retailers are doomed.Unless they sell car s... | |
| Rebuild a Counterpoint SA-100 or start over? I would NOT pay $1,000 to rebuild a preamp that will be worth under $500 when you are finished!! For a thou you could buy a BETTER working Counterpoint, or another nice tube/hybrid preamp.I loved MY Counterpoint 2000 ... when it was working....I g... | |
| What do I look for in used records? One more thing: the 'bad' scratches can be nearly invisible in flourescent light. They are thin but deep, like a knife cut, usually the needle causes these. They almost always have a harsh 'tick' sound.The 'non-scratch scratch' (called 'scuffing')... | |
| What do I look for in used records? Tough question to answer.Buy what you want to try! Most of the LPs in the thrift shops are not going to be "valuable" except to the buyer.I have found stuff like STEREO shaded dogs (mono are nice but cheap resells)(the dead wax codes start with 1s... | |
| Wait a Minute Do those Cardas Caps Work You can experiment with some Aluminum foil, a scissors, and a bit of Scotch brand transparent tape.Cut the foil into 1/2 inch wide, 2 inch long strips, roll it up around an unused RCA jack, tape it (small rubber bands also work well) and flatten t... |
