| Laptop to record LP's? I got very satisfactory results using IBM 570 laptop and Musicmatch SW. It's a pain if you want to separate tracks, but if you're satisfied with 1 LP side = 1 track, it's just like recording to tape, but better sound quality by far. | |
| whats your idea of loud music. Loud to me is realistic concert level sound volume. This is not the level I listen to all of the time, but when you really want to enjoy a particular piece of music, this is the test.For some music I listen to (prog rock, fusion, folk-rock, . .) t... | |
| Misleading ad titles and prices I don't usually bother with those ads once I spot them. | |
| Help cleaning LPs, residue left behind I had a similar problem using Phoenix Solution (with enzymes)bought from Sleeve City. I have since used the NG F2 exclusively and it works great, with no issues of residue, even when I over do it on the fluid. I'm using the NG RCM and vacumm thoro... | |
| Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period? hmmm, Drubin is perceptive. This apostrophe fetish must be catching on, ya think? | |
| Speaker Daze Budget of 1500-2000 my room is pretty close to that size and my Sttafs are perfect. I have them about 4 1/2ft into the room from the wall, and my listening position is about 4ft in from the back wall. After trying many configs, this was ideal. I added a subwoofer (Re... | |
| Best amp for GMA Europas? I recall a thread not long ago discussing what amps people are driving their Europas with. You may want to try a search. | |
| Home cinema newbie questions...preamp advice I'm not sure if you'll really get much out of 3 channels vs Stereo. I find the center channel isn't always helpful, or even noticeable. This is especially true if your speakers image well. I do like having the rear channels however, and for that y... | |
| How to repair a broken dust cover? thanks Dave! | |
| Buying Used-Ever wonder??? I suppose I have; however this wasn't my experience with my Storm III. You may want to spend some time to ensure it's properly integrated. | |
| Signet TK7SU - new stylus? while looking for another TT part I came across a source for the Sgnet Shibata stylus (LPGEAR.com) for $80. So the difference will be only $43, which I assume is worth it. I guess I'd still like learned opinions on my other questions . . . thanks! | |
| Oddball question, hooking up REL Storm III Subwoof I've made my own Neutric cables, the connectors are available at Parts Express cheap, and hi-level input is definitely the way to go . . .Unless you have an old preamp sitting around that can be connected in parallel with your integrated I think y... | |
| Ever use "switched" outlets on preamp? I ran my old Phase Linear 400 power amp using the switched outlet of my Rotel RC1070 for 3 years. Before that I used the switched outlet from a Marantz 3200 pre for 20 years. It worked great up until the time I upgraded and sold all that stuff off... | |
| Acoustic Progressive Rock Matchstikman - from your comments I can't tell if Strawbs is your cup of tea, but if they do interest you and you're seriously looking for acoustic - check out Baroque & Roll. It was released last year, is totally acoustic, and has songs from ... | |
| "White noise hiss" through speakers. I have experienced the same hiss to greater or lesser extent with various components. I think it's dependent on the component (usually the preamp in my experience) but I think it's also related to the environment (ie, how many noise sources you ha... |
