| can cassette decks overheat? I’ve had my Aiwa AD f770 for going on 38 years now, and not once has it over heated. Short of a belt change, still going strong. Also own its little brother, the ad f660, no issues. These were some of the best cassette decks ever made! Had the kin... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST TOUCHY SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? I touch myself, the divinyls, I got it on cassette😜She was sexy as all hell, but sadly no longer with us.... | |
| You mean someone buys this stuff? I own six turntables...I can swap one out for another and the wife says nothing....lol. she has no idea I guess...she did notice the speakers...they are gargantuan stand mounters... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. Go and grab an audioquest thunder, a great little power cable, well not so little....AQ x3’s are great for source components. I use them throughout. However, this is just a start...you will need to add a dedicated line/circuit preferably 20 amp 12... | |
| Speaker size and soundstage Forget either, and go out and buy some big azz Tannoys...you will get what you are looking for. My choice for you, the Ardens. Thank me later....although, I will point out that the cheap diamond 225's are a bit of a miracle little speaker...they p... | |
| Vinyl...should I stay, or should I go? Not familiar with any vpi TT, nor that cartridge, however it may be a mismatch...take the weight of cartridge w/ hardware and the mass of your arm and plug the figures into vinyl engine resonance calculator for a start. Like others have mentioned,... | |
| Which Phono Pre? Tavish Design Adagio | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers I like solid state class A combined with a tubed phono preamp...to me this gives me the best of both worlds. | |
| Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system? I buy/bought based on quality of sound, timbre, tone, warmth, no fatigue, and of course, looks! If I’m going to be parked in front of my hifi for years and years to come, It must also look aesthetically pleasing. My turntable for instance is gorge... | |
| My experience with bi-wiring I bi-wire my Tannoys with two identical audioquest type 4 cables. The tannoys are made for biwiring, not a weakness, but rather because they realize that there is a benefit. Tannoy also added a 5th binding post for ground. I of course use it, grou... | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops Sorry, have never heard of a tube amp causing this issue. I’d say it is more likely a major build up of static electricity at the turntable platter. Maybe try zapping it with a zerostat. Is turntable grounded properly? What mat are you using? Felt... | |
| Main vs. sub panel for dedicated lines What difference does it make? The sub panel is still receiving power from the main panel. Just go to main panel and fit a new 20 amp breaker, or if no room a piggy back breaker. Then use 20 amp 12 gage romex, the yellow jacketed romex. If you like... | |
| Restored my dads R2R but no tape loop on integrated Luckily my integrated at least has a fixed pre-out....my tape deck is 3 head and has its own tape monitor switch. I use my headphones plugged into the deck's headphone jack to monitor. It's unfortunate that manufactures did away with a true tape m... | |
| Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims? I use PayPal and almost never buy used....except maybe a tape deck of course, as they are no longer made. Also, nothing wrong with buying new or used on credit, or so called borrowed money. I only do this when I get zero percent financing...you ca... | |
| Considering an integrated Grab a Sugden Signature a21se pure class A. No headphone amp or phono stage, however you can order one with phono. You can add in a headphone amp of your choice, connected to the tape out/fixed out. A bargain at $3250. Then you can save your money... |
