| Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better We all fuss over our systems and listen for the finest detail that may add to the overall presentation. Auditioning cables, swapping out speakers like old girlfriends. On the quest for the best sound we can afford. But I am amazed at how i can go ... | |
| WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ I had a terrible experience with UPS years ago. I bought a relatively inexpensive pair of speakers from eBay. When they arrived they had stabbed a fork tongue through one of them! So I called UPS, and they wouldn't even talk to me, and said the sh... | |
| best value - record cleaning machine I know this is an old thread. But I feel there is a new worthy mention to add to this discussion. Project VS-C is now on the market! Cheaper than VPI 16.5, and to my thinking it's a better machine! I owned a 16.5 and liked it, but it got a bad lea... | |
| Which sounds best, 120 volts, or 240 volts? Amperage and current are the same thing. Ohm's law is current over voltage times resistance. So the unit's needs have not changed, (the unit being the resistance) only the voltage is higher, so the amperage, or current if you want to call it, is l... | |
| Tune of the Day Uriah Heep, Sea of Light, Universal Wheelsdefinitely my song of this hour! | |
| Repair a Sony SCD 777ES? Been there and done that. Well, actually didn't do it. I had an old Sony SCD608ES, from the late 80's. Wow what a great sounding player! I kept it for 25 years! And it got to where it would not read discs. So, I contemplated having it repaired! I ... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... My mother made me a quilt wall hanging, beautiful piece of art. And I hung it behind my listening position, and it made a very positive improvement to the sound. A friend of mine has a tapestry that's been in his family for generations, behind and... | |
| VPI paper alignment jig I'm so glad things worked out for you! And that they are sending you the gauge for free. My Scout came with a free metal jig when it was new. I had a very bad experience with VPI, I sent my 16.5 cleaning machine back for repair and never got it ... | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket I second CB5300, I've got a pair of Legacy's and they are about the biggest bang for buck speaker around! Especially used. I stole these I've got, (Focus 20/20 w rosewood finish) for $2400. 185 lbs each! And two 12" woofers, so smooth and real on ... | |
| Follow Up on Previous Post and Some Notes about Sony HAP-S1 So there is really a company called Schiit? That's very amusing for some silly reason. But a great call, I have issues with one source being significantly louder than others. And I have to be careful when changing sources to be sure not to blow m... | |
| Straightening Bent Fins Nice video pbn! I did a search on "Bent Fin" and it turned up many stories about others who have had many episodes like mine, most were way worse. And, looking at used amps, it's not uncommon at all to see one with a slightly bent fin from some pr... | |
| Which sounds best, 120 volts, or 240 volts? Thank you Joey for responding to my post! But I must confess that it is not as innocent of a question as it may seem. What I'm really trying to say, is that if high end power cords claim to make such huge differences in sound, when they only rep... | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time AC/DC is Australian, no one mentioned Van Halen? About as American as a rock band could get! | |
| Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments Wow I really enjoyed reading every one of these posts! Brings back old memories. Where to begin? At an AC/DC concert, Pat Travers opening in Norfolk VA, a tiny hall, between bands the bathrooms where up on the second floor messanine, and people we... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Love the 2Ce's too Tomcarr! But i I am very happy with my present system, but knowing I'm a hopeless Audiophile I know that anything is possible, and I may get the jones for something else in the future. But, the one single thing in my rack that I... |
