| Stones on SACD - Tempting? I think that this is a response to the cry for more popular music on SACD. I think the Stones will pull in more people for SACD. I am not really a Stones fan, so it doesn't do much for me. If they put out a "BEST OF" album, I might get that one. | |
| Multichannel SACD, new category? Pbb, I think that your suggestion is a good one. No need to limit it to SACD though, as it could include DVD-A multi-channel, and any other multi-channel issues that may be of interest. I don't think this conflicts with HT, as there is not necessa... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? That's right. So the deputy did get shot. Perhaps the Sheriff shot the deputy, and tried to frame Eric Clapton for it. Then Eric Clapton shot the Sheriff for framing him for the deputy's murder. Clapton still had to take the rap anyway, but he fel... | |
| The death of an amplifier Okay Nate, I will answer your question. If you do not kill the amp by shorting the speaker leads, running too-low impedances,(or pressure washing it), and it is left to its own demise, the capacitors will generally be the first thing to break down... | |
| Listening Levels I think that many times there is the urge to play your favorite music at higher volume than normal. It seems that when you hear a song that really hits you, you want "more" of it, so you make it louder. I think that this is a fairly widespread and... | |
| Design an entire system for $800? ? So let me get this straight. He is too cheap to buy good equipment. He is too busy to look for a good deal in used stuff. So he doesn't have the time or money to spend with his audio gear. Why does he want a stereo? Have him buy a Bose Wave Radio/... | |
| help on balanced control. Try cleaning your volume control pots. Sometimes dust can get in there and cause problems like that. Also, switch your Interconnect connections at the preamp from right channel to left channel, and see if the symptom changes sides. If it does, it ... | |
| DIY turntable: where to start? And meanwhile.... Hi Phoenixpizza. The only thing that is really DIY about the Teres is polishing the base and armboard. Everything else is actually just assembly of the platter and spindle. Oh, and you have to drill the armboard for the arm, but I think Chris will... | |
| Where 2 buy 3x distilled water and 100 alchohol? Bill, as long as your records are vinyl, and not shellac, the small amounts of alcohol is fine. Never use alcohol on shellac. Mostly old stuff on 78 is more likely to be shellac. I'm not sure when the change-over occured, but I have had many album... | |
| Review: Totem Acoustics Model 1 Monitor What I really liked about your review was the way you described your listening evolution, your problems, and your solutions. Number 1 was the music. It wasn't about gear. But gear was required to get you where you wanted to go. Totem makes a good ... | |
| help on sumiko project RM-4 Set up is a snap. Double check the spindle-to-pivot distance with a ruler and compare it to the spec.If there is no spec, and the arm was factory installed, leave it. Install the cartridge,slide on the counterweight, balance the arm level, dial-in... | |
| 6sn7's for the AE-3? My favorite are the same ones you like. The brown base, short bottle Sylvania 6SN7-WGT. | |
| Stax Hdphns: SRM-1/SRX versusLambda Pro/SRD/7 The best way I've found to run a pair of Lambdas is to use the Class A headphone preamp Stax made for them in the 1980s. It was called the SRA-12S. I had one, and used it for my regular preamp, and the Lambdas. It had output jacks for 2 sets of St... | |
| Free TWEAK that works An intereting tweak. Regarding your discussion of cones, I tried to promote the use of Cocobolo wood cones for awhile on the forum. Nobody seemed interested. The Cocobolo wood is an extremely good material for cones. I use them under my TT, and th... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? Well, we know the Sheriff was shot, but do we really know that the deputy was even shot? All we know is that he didn't shoot the deputy. Maybe nobody shot the deputy. |
