| Woofers Gone Wild Do not turn the turntable on, but place the cartridge in the record groove. Advance the volume and gently tap the plinth or record. If the sound keeps getting louder, on its own, you have acoustic feedback, and the turntable is, in fact, not well ... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? David Gilmour did not play on, "The Wall Live In Berlin", is there another live Wall?Oh, and I pick Ten Years After doing "Goin' Home" live at Woodstock. Alvin Lee shreads. | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall Learsfool, I respect that you have a different perspective. Sometimes the vocabulary is itself in doubt and it becomes hard to communicate what I am hearing. "Have you ever tried moving your Cornwalls off the wall a little?"A careful reading of my... | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall Well, it Viridian with three "i"s, and actually it would tell you more about my choice of music than anything. I'll leave it at that. I think that most competently designed amps will get you there. I do notice that you left out EL84/6BQ5 from your... | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall "- so color means boxy, as opposed to open and airy?"Correct."- why is this, what causes it?"I am not a designer, perhaps others will weigh in. It may be due to the larger baffle and the reflections within the horn throat though."- on a different ... | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall First, I would like to respectfully disagree with Krisjan's statement that, "The Vandy will be better (i.e. more natural sounding) in every sense except senitivity - the Klipsch is VERY sensitive (102 dB/watt) and can use flea-powered amps." I tak... | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall Another perspective. I have owned both 2Cs and KG4s and currently own Klipsch Fortes. First, to correct a misconception, the Cornwalls are called Cornwalls because they work both in the corner of the room or at the junction of floor and wall, ie a... | |
| Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp? Music Reference RM-9. | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Doug, I was just being cheeky. I drink chocolate milk and so far have been able to refrain from using it as a record cleaner......then again, there may be a new angle there, let me refer to my magic eight ball and Tice clock to find out the answer. | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning So, it's ok to drink the stuff from the sink, but the records get bottled water. I love you audiophiles, the world would be a boring place without you. | |
| Any suggestions on Tube Buffers? I just wanted to point out that I believe that there really is no difference of opinion here. Ryan has linked us to a thread where the OP is using a receiver and Denon CD player, probably the most appropriate use of this type of device as mass mar... | |
| Any suggestions on Tube Buffers? In the above post, it should say......"driving inputs of lowish input impedance", not highish input impedance. Of course. | |
| Any suggestions on Tube Buffers? This is pretty funny actually. The purpose of a buffer is to compensate for incompatibility in impedances between components, the input impedance of a buffer being very high, and the output impedance being very low. I know that it is obvious, but ... | |
| Recommend tube meter All you need is a volt meter, or multi meter, two names for the same thing. Radio Shack has many models to choose from, you were just asking for the wrong thing. You may even have one lieing around the house. If you have a Harbor Freight store nea... | |
| Phono Inputs...what can I use them for? .....it's better to have golden years........than golden ears. Good luck with the hunt. |
