| Cat Scratch Fever? I believe it was Reagan who said that. "The problem with liberals is that they know so much that isn’t true".I'd rather talk about audio and music. But I can talk politics too.. Is that what you guys really want? | |
| The Absurdity of it All OP, you talk as if we old timers just started life at 60! Sorry, but I've been playing music for 50 yrs and bought my first record at age 8. That would be 62 yrs ago.The one advantage that age has is experience. In my case, 60 yrs of hearing musi... | |
| Never Use HiFi-Exquis - Worst Merchant Ever! @garyalex What does the pandemic and where it started have to do with this? Hmm? I'm sorry. Apparently you have not had enough cheap junk from China, including a pandemic which they hid & still will not allow us to pursue its origins. I'm j... | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative You have a lot of variation in both price and sensitivity. I'd try the Legacy Arris. | |
| Which Phono Preamp? Herron VTP2 is very well reviewed. Fwiw, I may not have the letters right. | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? And yet we can still land a vehicle on Mars, even fly something while there. More special pleading. So.....?What was the 1st thought that went through the mind of the Commander when that happened? You can lead a horse to water, But he may piss in ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? 96% of the Universe is MISSING! It is dark matter & Dark energy of which we literally know nothing. Higgs Boson seems to hold everything together, yet is totally elusive. It is the "God Particle" yet some scientists call it the Godda** Particl... | |
| REL t5i + ht1003 I had the same problem with hum. Rel recommends that you run an RCA from low input to any open rca's on the back of your preamp when running the high input. This acts as a ground. I had to do some research to find that but its straight from Rel. A... | |
| Never Use HiFi-Exquis - Worst Merchant Ever! I made a purchase from Hifi-Exquis in China In China? Hmm. During a pandemic which started in......Hmmm. Education is most often expensive. Hopefully, AE will be able to recoup your $$$. | |
| Replaced Mylar Belt with Kapton (Polyimide) Belt. Very Nice Results An Update.When I tried my TT again, it was obvious that I had a problem. I checked the belt and the adhesive had somehow returned. OK, back to the drawing board for NON adhesive Kapton. Apparently, Goo Gone, Soap & water and alcohol does not c... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MKIII Tube Replacement I’m confused by the question Are you trying to replace 6550 with 6H30? Or asking if there is a difference between the 6h30 and 6h30pi?Fwiw all 6h30 tubes are the same. | |
| Is this the best way? + 1 @noromance Some PC's are detrimental to the sound. I know APC makes computer surge protectors which I have heard do NOT make a good Hifi PC. The question then is whether this is a rebadged computer PC or a real Hifi PC made for hifi. I have no... | |
| MQA actually tested @jasonbourne52 Excessive signal processing never results in better SQ! BINGO!!! | |
| Is it a Merger or Bust? I tried it years ago. It seemed like a simple process to do. I put a 3 channel amp/processor in the tape loop of my 2 channel system. And, of course the rear and center channel speakers.It was OK at best & complicated as he** to operate with t... | |
| Is it Me, the Vinyl or the Equipment? I can only speak to the ScoutMaster of which I had 2 or 3. They were above the Scout, which I believe the Prime replaced. They were good TT's and I had no problem. As I said earlier, there are several things to check. VPI IS one of the better mfg'... |
