| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions Thank god somebody mentioned getting a good antenna, and putting it up in the attic. I am still kicking myself for not doing this until this year. Fiddled with a number of tuners and indoor antennas. If you don't have a good signal the rest is cra... | |
| Shave your CDs Well, the video was entertaining, but not real scientific. Things such as motor vibration, balancing the CD disc when being clamped, and most likely more, would yield different results. Ultimately, at some speed the event would happen. I don'... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? jrosemd, I had the same CDP back then. Wow, I could skip tracks, pause, even program the play. The convenience was a big step from a TT. | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? If my memory would serve a bit better, I am sure that there are more than this. I found that the Superphon revelation preamp to be just amazing back in the day. Since I bought it used and payed not a lot for it, then it becomes one of my most memo... | |
| Why don't we tire of music? mapman, Good point. I suffer from some form of greed myself. It is the buying reflex to having something that I don't really need. The internet promotes this by some exponential factor. Used to be that you might actually have to walk to the ... | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? It was my senior year of high school. Money was hard earned. Some Bozo showed up with a load of JohnZer speakers for sale. For $380, I bought a pair. I cannot begin to describe how bad they really sounded. To me, they looked pretty cool. This even... | |
| Why don't we tire of music? larsman, I agree with you. Whether or not we are discussing the technical or emotional aspects of music, it is after all this, music. It is a really good question that is well worth the discussion. The one problem that I have with most mus... | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? Since mol Schiit SOL TT is a uni-pivot, changing arms is as simple as it gets. Finding an extra arm for the TT... well your SOL. | |
| Garrard 401 record clamp or weight? What's a plater? | |
| Garrard 401 record clamp or weight? If using a clamp, it would seem that there is a 'right amount' of pressure. Just after the clamp has made contact with the record, and then touched the record to the platter. That would be at least reference or starting point for how much pressur... | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? Just an update about the cuing mechanism. I have it temporarily fixed in that I have shimmed out the lever/cam a tiny bit that was coming in contact with a metal disc that rides on the lobe of the cam, up or down. I pulled outward on the lever as ... | |
| Shave your CDs Wow! Do they make one for records?... Actually, I don't know why it wouldn't also lift veils when used on a RTR. Not on the tape itself. That would be stupid. I mean on the plastic or metal reels themselves. If they are not balanced, one could fly... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? waytoomuchstuff, Do they make cutters for vinyl? Ok, that is a joke. The line for each of us varies. There is nothing wrong with that. Fist fights shouldn’t exist between the horn guys and the planer guys. I happen not to like how my neighbor tri... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? I used to feel better about my car after a fresh coat of wax. Kinda the same with CD's. | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room Recently, I completed a speaker build for a customer/partner/friend. It was the Orfeo model designed by Tony Gee of Humble Homemade Hi-Fi. Hate the trade name but let me get right to it. The drivers used in this model are from Scan Speak, and low ... |
