| Goldfrapp Seventh Tree---LP Vinyl I think the reason it's called double LP is because the Limited Edition version includes two vinyl pressings.The 180 heavy LP in gatefold cover with a poster, plus a 7" version with the two singles at 45 RPM. I can confirm in a week or two, I orde... | |
| Goldfrapp Seventh Tree---LP Vinyl The US release is only $17.00, so I doubt it's two LP's. What is available is a Limited Edition heavy 180 British pressing (where she lives) with poster and extras that sells for about $35.00 via mail order from UK. I think I have all of Goldfrapp... | |
| Why are all the Virtual Systems mega-assaults now? I've posted positive comments on members systems at Audiogon more times than I can count. The amount of money spent has nothing to do with my being impressed. Sometimes it's the view out a window, unique room construction or style and decor. I'm a... | |
| Is upgrading stock tubes standard proceedure? Phaelon, for what it's worth, I've been doing this for a lot of years and agree 100% with your comments.Without NOS tubes, my system would take a huge hit in performance. As you say, not just a tonal balance or preference thing, the right NOS tube... | |
| How do you ship large items? Help Fly there, rent one way Penske truck and drive back. You also get to meet the seller and view (and listen to?) the speakers before you hit the road.It's a hassle, but guarantees perfect shipping and even with gas prices as they are, the cost could... | |
| Curse you Dynaflex I refer to that notorious RCA product as "Dyna-Warp" records. And now Sinister Porpoise knows why | |
| Your favorite recent discovery That explains it :^). I may have to order from Japan, I pretty much avoid CD's unless the music is not available on LP at any price. | |
| Your favorite recent discovery Siliab, Took your advice and searched Sal Mosca at AMG and managed to hear a few cuts off albums on either side of the one you mention.Unfortunately the only copy of "Music" I can find is in Japan. Do you own the CD or LP, I ask because you mentio... | |
| Dedicated circuit's' ? or one dedicated circuit? The 240 volt wall outlets are currently not being used for any equipment in the system. In the past they have powered several 240 volt amplifiers.I'll make another attempt at describing the set up and breakers. One of the two large (interior) main... | |
| Dedicated circuit's' ? or one dedicated circuit? But, I am sure VTL recommends that each Amp has it's own separate dedicated 15 or 20 amp circuit.If the unit draws 1300va then more than likely it came with a NEMA 5-15P or a NEMA 5-20P plug, on the end of the supplied power cord. Two or more 15 a... | |
| Advice from vinyl types on a good CD player I have yet to find one that involves me on as many levels as a turntable can. Very sad, because if one did exist for me I'd happily spend the money.I've been searching for the perfect CD player for 20 years, I've owned or auditioned about 75 of th... | |
| Dedicated circuit's' ? or one dedicated circuit? A 30 amp circuit will not be overkill if you are doing arc welding or running other heaviy industrial machinery. If you are simply running audio components, its way overkill.Please visit this web site, then rethink your comment. http://www.vtl.com... | |
| Audio grade 30 amp plugs/connectors? If only one circuit request 10 gauge Romex (not 12), and if you can, use a plastic box that holds at least two and preferably 3 or 4 outlets so you have a place for every plug.A larger multi gang (wall) box capable of holding additional outlets is... | |
| Is this when you have "arrived??" I almost cried when my daughter wanted to bake her cookies in my brand new DVD player. DVD survived that assault only because the cookie could not fit in the "oven." My wife thought it was a tear of joy and comely laid her head on my shoulder whil... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers in Ceiling Corners? There's similar bass gain at the upper corner of a room as there is in the floor+ corner.I would put in the effort to tilt the speaker down enough to have some sound stage and imaging at your preferred listening position. I've heard speakers mount... |
