| good old tuners going obsolete Sedond,Indeed, I'm a regular at both places. I'm just glad Kt_88's information is incorrect, and that we'll be able to enjoy our analog signals for the foreseeable future.I don't own a TV either - haven't for 15 years, but I've been listening to F... | |
| hafler 100, 101, 110 I don't know all the differences, but you can check for yourself here:http://www.hafler.com/home/Click on Tech Support and then Library Archives. They have manuals for all 3 models in PDF format. Good luck with your research.David | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Kt_88,Sedond is arguably the foremost tuner guru on Audiogon, and you choose to discount his input? You might want to re-think that approach. How about responding to my post above, where I present clear evidence contrary to your claims? Your 10+ y... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete That certainly takes care of TV, but we're talking about radio here. I just called the engineer at our local NPR station, and asked him specifically about a timetable for analog radio conversion, and he said that none exists. If fact, they're just... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete I'm not arguing that digital's not coming - it's already here. I'm just trying to get clarification on this supposed 2009 "deadline". So far, you haven't cited a single piece of evidence for it, and all the evidence I've found refutes it. If Congr... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Kt_88,Although it might be "common knowledge" at Circuit City and Best Buy, here's what the FCC has to say:http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-271699A1.pdfPlease direct your attention to the bullet, "Refrains from imposing a mand... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Kt_88,Can you cite a source for your information that all OTA broadcast is going digital by late 2009? As a huge FM fan, I'd be very interested. Thanks.David | |
| general tonearm design question Nsgarch and Dougdeacon both give great answers here, and I agree that having the vertical bearing axis perpendicular to the armtube rather than the cantilever is a flawed design.Here's the part I don't understand. Go to Origin Live's Web site here... | |
| Large Advent Fried Egg Tweeters I owned the Advents for 27 years. I think it's mostly how the speaker was designed rather than the age of the tweeter. The soft dome that Kloss used didn't have the edge of some tweeters of that vintage, and is certainly more rolled off than most ... | |
| Best Recording of Traffic: Low Spark Jeffreybowman2k,I'm not sure about the best pressing, but I can tell you this: I own both an original 1971 LP and the Smiling Phases compilation on CD, and there's no comparison on my system - the LP wins hands down. When they shake the "tree" in ... | |

| How far would you drive to audition a component? I drove from Halsey, OR to Depoe Bay, OR (maybe 100 miles) with my New Advents in their original boxes strapped to the luggage rack of my Toyoata MR-2. They really affected the aerodynamics and handling. :-) The buyer drove up from California, but... | |
| Stockfisch Records Jaybo is right. If you do a search on Stockfisch for vinyl, it turns out they have a grand total of 3 titles available.A good start, at least... | |
| Can i use a PC as a preamp? Use the Line Out on your sound card and it should work fine. If you're forced to use a spaeaker level output make sure you have the volume all the way down when you fire it up - you'll overdrive the amps quickly. Either way you'll probably need a ... |
