Transferring old Laserdiscs to DVD
A place to begin to understand how to do these transfers is a site called "Doom9".Where everything you EVER wanted to know about video and computers is available. www.doom9.org 
What are you all doing to modify your cds?
Being a staunch hater and avowed enemy of the RIAA's current campaign to try to halt the march of progress, I am only purchasing LPs. 30 year+ old LPs only. Hopefully my tiny effort will help be like the tiny crack in the dike, that helps destroy ... 
What are you all doing to modify your cds?
Saw them in a Stereophile ad at Gerry Raskins NeedleDoctor.I am in no way related to, nor friends with, nor do I work for, nor know anyone who works for or is associated with in any way this conpany or this product, nor do I have any financial gai... 
get vinyl rig or audio aero capital
I have just this two months gotten back into vinyl.I suddenly was given a chance to purchase a bunch of classical LPs for $0.50 each. I didn't have a TT or a pre pre amp. But I bought them. Then I got a Audio Research PH1, Then a borrowed TT. I st... 
Review: Forte Model 4a Amplifier
I am the proud original owner of a Forte' 4a.Mmmm I like it. No need to search for a 'better amp' I already have it!! Whoo Hoo!!! 
Top Ten Turntables of All Time??
No, it's 3.15 times better. :^0What I wrote was only for the common enjoyment. It has no meaning besides the statistics in the Orion bluebook for 2002, and the bizarre bidding on E-bay, where every third item is an adventure into crazed bidder wars. 
Top Ten Turntables of All Time??
What? an AR?There is a beat up early AR at SoundStage in Bayshore mall, Milwaukee Co. Wisconsin. It is a total hunk of junk, but it does still run... and they are asking $100. It's real worth is about $3, in my opinion. 
Top Ten Turntables of All Time??
That Sony did not keep it's value. The original price of $850.oo list, and a resale in today's market of under $100. per Orion.Some tables of the non-audiophile sort which HAVE held a major portion of their initial cost:AR turntable two speed: sel... 
The best CD Player for the money
$150 to $200 HAh ha... Try Goodwill...I got a NAD 5330 (sounds horrible to me, but my friend thinks it's great) for $5.99.Works perfectly. It replaces another hunk o' junk she got for free, a (shudder) early Sanyo.For the money, it CANNOT be beat.... 
Re wire my speakers ?
I rewired my speakers with the same wire used in my speaker cables. I liked the difference. See if your local AQ dealer can order the bare wire used in the speaker cables you are using. A dealer here (now sadly defunct) was able to order the AQ Mi... 
Electrical problem associated with all of my amps
Definitly a big voltage drop. You are lucky the amps shut down, a big voltage drop could definitely toast your amp if it kept going. (overheating)You need new wires from the pole to your house.They are either too small, or way more likely: corroded 
What am I going to do with all of this junk?
Opposite effect: My friends GET all sorts of free or super cheap stuff from me passing along things I find, cheap, or I no longer want.Dual TT, several that still bluebook for over $100.. like $7 or so.A Marantz receiver 2270, $17.00 to a good hom... 
Why does this Biwire set-up not work?
I have to make some assumptions since your discription of what you are doing is very incomplete.I assume you are trying to bi-wire a single pair of speakers that have dual input jacks on each speaker.The problem may be just in the speakers crossov... 
How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?
I reread all the above... whew!!1 I have gone back to LP. I still have 800 CDs. but I just bought 1,000 LPs (all classical pre 1970) for about $500.Now I have enough music to keep me occupied for a LONG time. And I didn't buy one new recording. (I... 
How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?
You either love the MUSIC, or not? Can you listen to a cheap radio, and fall in love with a bit of music?I am forced by my own choice to listen to music with the joyous chatter of my parakeet usually crooning to himself. I do not find it disturbin...
