| Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing? Sdcampbell - are you on a hill or in a valley? I used to live in Port Townsend, and there was quite a good array of radio stations available there by the water, including CBC (Canadian) and Bellingham. Any chance of receiving these in Seattle? | |
| VPI 16.5 v 17.0 I just ordered a 16.5. Sorry to tweak this thread with a related question, but: regarding cleaning fluids for either the 16.5 or the 17, I've heard some say that they use the Disc Doctor cleaning fluids and brushes, and then remove fluids with the... | |
| Nakamichi deck service I reiterrate Johnny's experience. Steven is a good guy who knows Naks well and does good work. I'm very satisfied with what he did for me. | |
| Well, What's the Verdict on the Cary 308T I just wanted to clear up the problem I was having with the tray. This isn't a problem common to all CD-308's. On mine, the front plate on the tray (semi-transparent blue plate to match the LED display) was mis-aligned by about a millimeter. The p... | |
| how old is too old when buying speakers? I just recently bought some Tukans used. Great speakers for the cost! Could use a sub though. Anyhow, in terms of upgrades, I spoke with Linn and the only upgrade has been the protective cover on the tweeter. They told me that this was purely aest... | |
| CES - Which Days? I'll email the cell phone list out to all who add to it. Albert, where are you??? | |
| CES - Which Days? Ed - could explain a little more about the T.H.E. show - what it's focus is, etc.?Also, as a means of hooking up, I'd be happy to compile a list of names and cell phone numbers of those attending, so we can make arrangements on the fly as needed. ... | |
| CES - Which Days? I noticed that the planner lists many high and medium end manufacturers for the Alexis Park Hotel. One odd thing, however, is that they are all listed as occupying "booths". I assume that they must also have listening rooms set up - but can someon... | |
| Tube combos for a jolida 302B The stock tubes are Chinese.Jolida recommended to me the Svetlana EL34's and the JAN Phillips input tubes. They told me that the Tesla tubes tended to vibrate with a resonance in the unit. The Sovtec's are also OK for output. I don't know about NO... | |
| What speakers with Audio Research VT-100 Consider Proac 2.5's. They are voiced with ARC tube amps. | |
| Vinyl LPs To CD I understand that I can transfer vinyl to CDR's using either a professional CD writer. I assume that this can be done either on 24/96 or 16/44. My questions are:1) can one transfer a whole LP onto a CD at 24/96? I assume not, based on inference fr... | |
| What about South America and Antarctica? Barfff! You must be joking. | |
| What are your thoughts on the Dragon tape deck? I just spoke with a certified Nak repairman, who told me that the mechanisms on the RX, BX, CR, MR, and DR series are inferior relative to other Nak series. He said that the best Nak tape mechanisms last for decades (still yet to have an endpoint)... | |
| What are your thoughts on the Dragon tape deck? Speaking of investing and Nak decks, let's go back a few years... I've got a 582, which was top of the line in 1980, that I've been nursing along all these years. It has 3 heads, adjustable azimuth, etc. Sent back to Nak 3x, and the third they did... | |
| What is a "transmission line" speaker? The labyrinth increases the distance that the backward firing woofer soundwaves must travel to exit the port of the speaker. So it's like a bass reflex speaker with a very long (in distance traveled) port. |
