| Electromagnetic fields. Be forewarned, this involves science... I like science a lot. But I don't believe it just because someone says it is science. In this case, the first several minutes are history, not science. At nearly an hour long, I'll watch later | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... @elliottbnewcombjr You Speak as if the mfgs had all the knowledge there is in 1960 or 70 and that no new knowledge exists today. Plus you overlook the need to build to a price point. Sure, the old stuff works and can sound pretty good. Likewise th... | |
| DAC for dummies If you have a Cd player it will have a built in dac. unless it's a transport only. Then a dac is needed. If you have to get a built in dac, then I'd choose the transport. | |
| Subwoofer adjustment for each recording Music from different eras ,ie, 1960's will have more bass than mid to late seventies onward . I usually set my Rel:s and leave it until I play an older record. Life is too short to listen to music without proper bass Imo. It's the back bone of mu... | |
| Room vs. Gear vs. time of life, ...and you? @oldhvymec Not many old friends left. BUT I got the dog and the rabbit.. I’m pretty sure they will be in heavenFWIW, John Wesley believed the same, saying that he believed he would see his horse in heavenAs for life & good times, I had the gre... | |
| Purchasing from LP Gear I have no experience with LP Gear. But the fact that they do NOT post a telephone contact # is a turn off to me and one that I won’t buy from. I know the younger generation is phone conversation averse. But it took mankind thousands of years to de... | |
| Stuck point! Pushing 87db speakers with a 23 watt Chinese single ended amp is a recipe for disaster. If you want good bass and the power to push inefficient speakers you should look at VTA (Bob Latino's) St 120. Its not an integrated like the Wlisenton. But I... | |

| Floor Plan designer Software wanted, or someone to do it. This is one that I used to use. I had the pro or architect version. But they have a suite which is scaled down for $99. If it works like it used to do, it was the only program which I enjoyed using. It has drag & drop features which make it... | |
| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? I don’t think the OP was suggesting that defined "good music". He was simply teeing up some input and reflection - of that category what did you like best? It didn’t define good music, but it certainly contained A lot of it. The second half of t... | |
| Time to upgrade my turntable? @ mijostyn you should be be so negative about DSP. You will also be using it eventually. Actually, you already are. Every recent recording you have was manipulated by DSP. Ignorance is bliss. They also use reverb, delay, compressors & all... | |
| Time to upgrade my turntable? The biggest upgrade you could make would be to ditch all of that signal processing for a good two channel integrated amp. A lot of newbies think they like the gimmicky sound fields, but once you’ve heard two channel done right, you won’t worry abo... | |
| Vintage tubes - facts, science, technology & empirical evidence VS. marketing, myth & hype @tvad Nice link. I had forgotten about Joe's tube lore. Thanks for the reminder | |
| Replacement power cord, Hafler 9180 @ jasonbourne52 The sound of any amp starts with what comes out of the power transformer/bridge rectifier/ filter caps. NOT with the wire from the wall AC outlet! I saw you "system" before you deleyted it. You don't have one piece of equipment... | |
| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? close to 1000 songs hit the Billboard top 10 during the decade. So you only want "top 10 hits"? Is that your standard for good music from the '70's? Most of the top 10 hits were pushed by radio & record companies trying to sell a product.... |
