| Importance of arm length? Three well considered responses, I thank you all. Though I was tempted to bid on a NOS AQ 6 tonearm on ebay this morning, I opted for patience and time to educate myself further on options. As far as I can tell (by photos) the table does not have ... | |
| Combining 2 Channel and HT dgarretson's suggestion is the way to go. I route my cambridge audio receiver fl/fr output to my sonic frontiers preamp and amp. Speakers are AAD 2001 monitors for fl/fr, with (obviously mismatched) Def Tech center, rear and subwoofer. Listening t... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? maybe not "best" but ones I like a lot.patti smith group - horsesr.e.m. - murmur (1st lp)kevin ayers - joy of a toyvelvet underground - the velvet underground and nico | |
| tonearm for KM turntable? yes...I sold the turntable. | |
| tonearm to fit mysterious pre-cut plinth? Thanks!...looks like I'm a goin' SME huntin'. Cheers, Ben | |
| MMF-5 vs. VPI HW-19 Jr - old school or new age? Darn...I should have known the solution most often encouraged on Audiogon would be to opt for a much more expensive solution! Perhaps I should have made it clear that either turntable (in its existing state) will be my turntable for many a year, a... | |
| the more bits the merrier? Thank you all for your VERY informative responses. I am glad you kept it simple, because if it was any more complex, I fear my brain may have exploded. Isn't it interesting how - in some respects at least - electronics mirror the instruments whose... | |
| Help w/ weird big-screen tuning issue? Hmmm...I have run the auto channel selection and it scanned through all the channels and didn't turn up the missing content, just confirmed what I found punching in channel numbers. I was definitely on the cable feed. Perhaps the tuner isn't wired... | |
| budget table brain buster thank you all for your input. consensus seems to be that I stick to what I have until I can afford a significant upgrade, so I'll probably do just that. | |
| solution for "popping sound" from tube amp? Thank you all for your responses. I have replaced the tube, and am now back in tune(s). Ben | |
| California Audio Labs CL-5 repair? Any suggestions for a multi-disc player. I don't want to spend a fortune, but with a decent system (Usher x-929 speakers, Sonic Frontiers amplification etc.) I would like something a cut above the big box store brands. Thanks, Ben | |
| California Audio Labs CL-5 repair? thanks for your input. I will call them tomorrow and see what I can suss out. Ben | |
| Reggae music fans help; re: Scary Reggae Music Peter Tosh had some pretty mellow stuff. | |
| Usher X-929?????? I borrowed a pair from a local dealer, found them to be bass heavy, thick sounding in the lower midrange. Also, the soundstage lacked the height and width of my reference Dunlavys. But that was my room, my equipment, etc., and they might make a be... | |
| Have anyone seen these speakers? Or system? If you check the pull down menu at top, you'll see that these objects are ART, and obviously non-functional. Check out "Queen of Auto" and you'll see this awesomely cool sculpture on display outside a building. The real question is, how long befor... |
