| Will fine tune adjustments with protractor help with "brightness?" @chakster :Great minds think alike. | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? That's funny! I had similar experiences with Fedex around here some time ago. For awhile, (I was working downtown), I began to notice that most Fedex drivers would drop, throw, slam packages for seemingly no reason, while UPS treated them like...p... | |
| Will fine tune adjustments with protractor help with "brightness?" Agree on alignment methods, nothing to add there. Regarding alignment though, in some cases, other alignments affect each other, just something to be aware of. The center of the record is more sensitive due to the smaller radius. But really, one t... | |
| Review: VPI Industries HW-19 mkIV Turntable In case anyone noticed, the post and review goes back to 2008. If it's outdated, it's only because this table is largely unavailable, even used, don't come up much. But what would be interesting, WOULD be to compare it to what is available now. I'... | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? Still don't see how that helps. If I am a buyer, and something arrives broke/not working/not as described, I don't want to deal with anything at all...not the shipper, not the buyer, just money returned or withheld and not paid. Don't want a "dela... | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? I'm a little confused too. If the buyer takes full responsibility for the shipping, who then is liable and what control is there over what was bought or represented? | |
| Customer Service Experience with REL All good points here. Just to clarify, it should be obvious it's ALL the dealers responsibility. It's true once the maker sells to the dealer it's not on them, BUT, I would let them know absolutely everything: they may want to choose another deale... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? Jea48:Good point about the screw terminals. I would go a bit further to say that what you say goes for ALL terminations regardless of cable used. I remember having that exact experience with the female PC connectors. I don't remember the brands, b... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp Just a though...perhaps a bit off topic, cause I don't know if I would suggest a different cart, at least maybe not yet.But what about high output MC? MC carts take capacitance out of the picture, which means more cable options. Generally speaking... | |
| Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes.... Seems to me, if the thief can't find the remote, it was probably already lost. Folks are stealing my remote around here all the time. Daily!But seriously, thinking like a thief, if I am stealing, components hooked up, it's likely easy to find the ... | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? I recently saw an ad for a Theta transport with a batch of LD's."....powers on. Drawer opens and closes. Laser has not been tested". What does that tell us?And all the ads that say (paraphrased): "Trust me, it works, but no returns due to age". Th... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp And, you have to roll tubes. It's like a rule. It's the law, if you want to be a true "audiophile". We do have a code of ethics, you know. Which ones? ALL of them-any you can get your hands on. It's just experimenting, right? Anything cheap, even ... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp The more better the system gets, the more records will sound different to each other. That's the result of higher resolution. In fact, you should embrace it: that's one of the ways to tell if your system is actually getting better or just changing... | |
| Schiit not shipping I was just getting ready to prepare to order a Yaggy. I'm still checking on it. | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? There's no reason to think that using high grade copper for a power cord would result in better power/sound, but yet, some get good results. No reason to think that having a power cord be of better quality than what is in the wall should give bett... |
