| Interesting experience with a wall wart The power feeding a turntable motor can have a profound effect on the resulting sound. Most wal-warts are switching supplies, and as Ghosthouse notes, can inject a lot of noise into the AC....which affects everything in your system. You should r... | |
| Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners @uberwaltz Sorry, but I have no experience with any of the Nottingham cartridges.@fjn04 There's also the Pear Audio 'tables that are very similar to the Nottingham(s). In fact, the Cornet 2 tonearm is nearly identical to the Ace-Space with wh... | |
| Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners I have the Ace Spacedeck with Ace Space arm. Never had any problem with hum (in fact, first time I've heard that), and quite honestly, the overall setup is pretty simple and straightforward. Proper attention needs paid to what it sits on, but tha... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? @douglas_schroeder Ok. Put in proper context, I humbly retract my troll accusation. Thanks for taking the time to explain! | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? You have to be friggin' kidding me....even the subject of connector cleaning brings the ABX trolls out from under the bridge?Why do you care? | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? I usually clean once a year, and beyond I/C’s and speaker cables, include power cords and the AC outlet itself. I use Deoxit applied with a pipe cleaner or business card followed with alcohol to remove any Deoxit residue. Deoxit does a great job c... | |
| Quality of outlet not directly powering equipment important? @jea48 Many thanks for the detailed explanation. I guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend. Lucky for me my neighbor works for Pass&Seymour, so it's time to hit him up for all the favors he'll undoubtedly owe me in the future. A half-do... | |
| Quality of outlet not directly powering equipment important? @audiolover718: Did you notice any difference after replacing outlets 1-3, or did you do any before/after comparisons? Not trolling...I'm genuinely interested as I have a similar wiring configuration. Using a Furu GTX-D(R) for the outlet powerin... | |

| Tekton 1812 speakers Why are you selling them? | |
| No bias reading, tubes lit up, no sound I'm not familiar with your amp, but I'm not sure your new wiring scheme is the best way to go about things, especially with a capacitor in the mix. If you're trying to get rid of the thin plate, I would take those four wires as well as the two co... | |
| WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ Thanks for sharing your experience. It is the shipper that files a damage claim with UPS, not the receiver. It would appear they just pushed that back on you so they didn't have to deal with it.There are SO many shops and online dealers that bend... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables @lancelock I doubt we will see any of his pictures. You know because of his state of electrocution and all. Well, there's that. And the other minor problem is that it's doubtful he owns a Cerious cable or has even seen one in the flesh. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables @subdusted Do you want me to post pictures of the cables sliced? Can do that...easily ))). Plus, one of the PCs got me electrocuted... Same thing happened to another person I know. Can also put out pictures why it happened. Because of the car... | |
| Burn in time for a new CD transport? @keithtexas For a fuse without external access, it's pretty easy to get to. There are 8 (IIRC) phillips head screws to remove to slide the cover off, and once that's removed there's another semi-rigid cover in the back right corner that's secured ... |
