| Best way of removing rust from silver or other Agree with Ed. Did a quick search on the internet and turned this up:CuO (copper oxide) has a magnetic susceptibility of +267 while AgO (silver oxide) has a magnetic susceptibility of -19. By way of comparison, the magnetic susceptibility of FeO (... | |
| Need to improve my CD Changer - is that possible? One of the guys in my group bought the Scott Nixon DAC.(Link)http://www.scott-nixon.com/dac.htmScroll down the page until you see images of the fully assembled products he offers (assuming you have no interest in a kit) and have a look at Tube DAC... | |
| how to increase power? According to the review I just read, your Consonance integrated has no separate preamp output. That excludes your using it to drive mono blocs to gain more power.You may have to sell it and buy another piece. In any case, don't tap off the speaker... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... Eldartford, I appreciate your position, but the comments are not necessarily applicable. I have had people sit in front of my system for three, even four hours before a single click or pop is heard from my vinyl rig. Plus, you seem obsessed with p... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... Mprime, your comments are completely understandable, particularly for a music lover like myself. If I were as young as my son, beginning my first year of college, I might not pursue analog at all. His software is primarily CD and MP3 (Apple iPod) ... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... Eldartford, your LP rig might be limited but mine is not. Perhaps it's not prudent for everyone to buy a Walker or Rockport, but for those of us that want the ultimate and have an existing library of analog music, it is well worth the investment. | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER I think the point missed here is the fact that regardless of which format (digital or analog) the master is recorded, the mix down to the end user takes a VERY different path, depending on which format were talking about.If the event must begin as... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... Hope you guys understand that the article was pointed out only for discussion. I don't have conclusive proof of which digital format is best or what the engineering limits are in the various digital formats. I am strictly an analog guy and the sum... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... Slappy KNOWS what is best. Thank goodness he visits Audiogon and sets the record straight! | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible It's possible to get excellent bass by using multiple smaller woofers as opposed to fewer larger ones. The surface area works out to be about the same but the smaller drivers are generally quicker.For example, the bass specification of the Dali Me... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... I found this article very interesting.http://sound.westhost.com/cd-sacd-dvda.htm | |
| HE 2004 West Cancelled due the worker lockout Agreed Omains, its a shame because the high end audio business needs more positive things happening, not negative. | |
| HE 2004 West Cancelled due the worker lockout Budrew,Audiogon has the images and should post them very soon. I think management was concerned over my coverage of the Patricia Barber live event which was forbidden to be recorded or photographed.I got special permission and sent images to Posit... | |
| HE 2004 West Cancelled due the worker lockout I too am sorry about this, I was covering this for Audiogon and had plans to enjoy that beautiful city. Worse still, I will miss out on the invitation to audition a couple of Audiogon members systems after hours. What a disappointment!Hope they do... | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued Luckily I have purchased mine and find it to be an excellent cartridge for almost no money. If the announcement is made that it will (absolutely) be discontinued, I may buy another one and store it away.Could become like NOS tubes, go up in value ... |
