| Vinyl pressing mistakes In 35 years of serious collecting I've only found one mistake. That was Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" where the two disks were the same pressing with different labels. I exchanged it for a good one. Now, what you have is REALLY a mistake. | |
| The value of external crossovers? Yes, the Aktiv crossovers are speaker specific. The crossovers for the Keilidh's also are the same for Ninkas. By the way, you can do three amps Aktiv. That would be one amp for the highs. The other amps are for the mids/bass. So, not to confuse y... | |
| The value of external crossovers? Hi,I have a Keildih Aktiv system. The benefits of going Aktiv are huge. The presentation seems so effortless and the bass extension to 40 HZ is real. The biggest and most surprising result is how musical my lesser recordings sound. Previously, abo... | |
| pros and cons to running bare wire Philojet,Timo is right in his assessment. Here's a couple hints to keep you from constantly chopping off and reconnecting your new speaker wire. Buy some cheap, thin cotton gloves and wear them while you are cutting and stripping the wire. Use a w... | |
| insuring vinyl Sc53 and Rives,Were you guys officers in the military? I thought that was the only way to get USAA insurance. We grunts don't qualify as far as I can tell. From everything I've heard it is the best insurance carrier in the world. I envy you. | |

| How can i ...... Sean,It's doubtful that there is any other type of clamps, etc. used to secure this to the cabinet. The screws were likely the only thing, so you have essentially a glued in place, press fit driver. The cabinet front is going to get chewed up a bi... | |
| How can i ...... The heat's a good idea too. If you don't have a heat gun then a hair dryer just might do the trick, although slowly. | |
| How can i ...... Oh yeah, if this works, I predict blisters on your fingers. I figured it appropriate to quote John Lennon. | |
| How can i ...... Sean,It may be either some type of caulk or gasket that is stuck. Maybe the speaker was inserted when the finish was fresh. I would try a flexible knife such as a filet knife. With the blade laying flat to the cabinet use a sawing/rocking motion a... | |
| Getting into analog is tough.... Sean,I guess I wasn't clear. My budget would be $1500 for the table/arm and maybe cartridge. The other grand would be for a phono stage, cleaning system, alignment tools, brushes, poly sleeves, etc. We don't disagree at all. Yes, I agree also that... | |
| Getting into analog is tough.... Matchstikman,I realize it seems like a daunting task but all the stuff you are concerned about is the easy part. Building a suitable software collection is most likely your biggest challenge UNLESS you have a mountain of money. Boatloads of money ... |
