| Apple iPhone Sound Quality? The iPhone has the same Wolfson 8758 DAC as the latest generation Video iPod, so it should sound similar if not the same. | |
| Pioneer TX-6500 lamps ? I bought all the new lamps for my TX-8500 at Radio Shack. The details and part numbers are on the page Viridian referenced above.Not sure about the meters since mine were fine, but the stereo light was out and required soldering. The dial lamps ar... | |
| Moving coil transfprmer? Bbaxley2,Your experience exactly matches mine. With the Monolithic and 103R I was running right at 12 noon on the volume control, and it sounded great. Thom is exactly right - just enough gain is way preferable to too much gain. I wouldn't change ... | |
| Moving coil transfprmer? Tbg,Sorry for the confusion; the post was for Bbaxley2. He's using the Monolithic.David | |
| Moving coil transfprmer? Have you tried the Monolithic at the highest gain setting without the SUT in the circuit? I ran my Denon 103R with my Monolithic PS-1/HC-1b combo and at 54dB had plenty of gain, and it was still dead quiet. I realize 60dB is recommended for the 10... | |

| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Time to report on my EDR.9:First, right now I have it mounted on an Audio-Technica ATP-12T, which has far too much mass to be optimal. I need to mark up and drill an armboard for my Rega. Table is a Technics SP-15 with the SH-15B2 plinth.Even on t... | |
| laptop to analog, any suggestions? You didn't state a price range, but if you're looking for something a little less expensive than the Benchmark, I use one of these:Fubar III haven't compared it to other USB DACs, but it's a considerable improvement over the DAC in my iBook G4. So... | |
| Quiet laptop recommendations Hard drive noise is mostly a thing of the past, so they're all dead quiet until the fan kicks in, then it gets dicey. My Dell D600, 3 or 4 years old now, runs the fan most of the time, is pretty loud even when the fan is still running on the low s... | |
| Shure V14vxmr vs. Audio Technica AT150MLX I've owned the Shure and liked it, but remember that it's no longer manufactured, and at this point I'm not sure you can even get a new stylus for it. NOS ones seem to bring $500 or more, so the price difference with the currently made A-T gets ev... | |
| Need help with my office system How about getting longer speaker cables and putting the speakers on the wall behind your chair? While it might take some getting used to, you're probably not getting much depth of soundstage now anyway, so it might be an improvement. It would cert... | |
| How do you listen, individual cut, full album? I'm with Ckorody. If I'm listening to LPs or CDs, I almost always listen to the entire album in order. I'm sure I got in that habit from all the prog rock "concept" albums I bought in the 70s, when they were designed as a coherent whole. Plus, as ... | |
| bands you truly miss Dead Can DanceThey were supposed to have reunited in 2005 and I saw them in NYC - an incredible show - but it's a year and a half later and still no new material, and no more touring. I don't think Lisa and Brendan can be around each other long en... | |
