| Clearaudio Concept - Used - Careful I think that if you invested in Michael Fremer's turntable setup DVD (Michael is the analog columnist and reviewer for Stereophile magazine), you would find that turntable setup is well within most peoples capabilities. After all, any turntable th... | |
| Has anyone listened to the soundsmith Paua cart Intersting, Intactaudio refers to 1K ohms as being a maximum load and Andy refers to it as being a minimum load. Obviously, that's a major functional difference. You folks might just want to get on the same page. | |
| Can someone tell me about this tube? 6C19N-B For what it's worth, most tube vendors price the tube at $20.00-30.00 per tube, but my assumption is that is because volume of sales are so low that it isn't worth it for them to sell any less expensively. If you ordered from the Eastern block, in... | |
| What is my weak est link...? Suggestions please. Please don't insult me by calling me an audiophile; I am certainly not one of you. Just a music lover. And my apologies to 689 for my less than pleasing bedside manner.I would opine that none of the "audiophiles" here was actually helpful to 689 a... | |
| What is my weak est link...? Suggestions please. Your weakest link is your knowledge of audio reproduction, to not list your room, cables, source and source material shows a misunderstanding of what constitutes a system for the reproduction of music. I would do much more research and reading bef... | |
| Can someone tell me about this tube? 6C19N-B Very few people will want these. They are a very low power triode that is not a direct substitute for a more common tube like EL84/6BQ5.They have been used in some hi-fi gear, the Transcendent Sound amp and, if memory serves, the Little Dot headph... | |
| Entry Level MC Recommendations? IMHO, the Denon 103 series is too low in compliance for your arm, but the DL110 should match up nicely. | |
| Results from Eliminating Anti-Skate Setting anti-skate with a grooveless record will result in spurious settings with too much force applied. | |
| Which loudspeakers work best close to back wall? Audio Note, Klipsch Heritage, Linn Kan. | |
| New level of ridiculousness Sabai, no it's not. Haven't you been following the thread? It's not talk, it's not ad copy and it's certainly not making wild claims. It's "puffing". Well, at least you can spell my user name correctly. Small consolation.There's certainly a lot of... | |
| New level of ridiculousness OK, sorry, I did not realize that "puffing" was different than making wild claims. You learn something every day. Oh, it's viridian, with three "i"s. It's a shade of green actually, as in "green with envy" over those lucky enough to buy eight gran... | |
| New level of ridiculousness In deference to Phaelon, above, the ad copy says, "Creates a new standard in magic sound staging" Was there an old standard in magic sound staging? I know that the old crap power distributor that I have only allows the old style sound staging, san... | |
| Lenco L75 tonearm compatibility Xtian, I would suggest that you do some research at Lenco Heaven:http://www.lencoheaven.net/They have a nice forum there as well and the members can tell you what arm will drop in on your L75. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel; these guys h... | |
| New level of ridiculousness Ya know, I was just down at the grocery store buyin' a nice box of Carlo Rossi rose. It gets the missis in the mood, ya know? There was some moron right next to me pickin' out some Chateau Effete something or other, from 1954, he said it was "new ... | |
| New level of ridiculousness Those damned Toulouse Lautrec paintings, when he lived over the whore house he would give you one for a good dinner and a glass of Absinthe. Some idiots are paying over a million dollars a piece for these things. When I buy a Lautrec, I don't pay ... |
