| Could use some help, please you didn't say what your budget is - I'm assuming you ewant to stay in the ~$100 range. As far as speakers go - here's a couple of thoughts:1) you'd be surprised (actually stunned) by what you can get by retrofitting new drivers and a simple 1st o... | |
| Speakers for $140 or less I have a pair of Infinity Entra One's that are excellent for the money. They originally sold for ~$400 MSRP, but appear on ebay for <$100 now. Excellent low end for a stand mount, and once broken in they're very good. | |
| Was just Listening to Dan Fogelberg... One artist you may like is Bruce Cockburn (if you don't already heard him). I wouldn't really say he's like Fogelberg, but he is equally clever with lyrics (indeed excellent), and has great acoustic guitar playing. His voice quality different from... | |
| HT seating dilemma my room dimensions are nearly identical to yours. I haven't had the need to seat more than 2 except on rare occasion - but will be interested in what you come up with. Mine was really set up for myself and my wife (but mostly just me). I would rec... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" a few . . .Terence Blanchard "A Tale of God's Will (a requiem for katrina)". this is an amazing and haunting CD, especially the second cut "Levees"Also, Terence Blanchard "Jazz in Film" is excellent. I'll be looking for more Blanchard releases soo... | |
| Cartridge Leads Cardas leads are excellent but the spring clip versions are not recommended. the spring clips on the Cardas economy (ie "Cardas HSL PCCE Headshell Leads") are crap. The clips bend easily and fall off, and the shrink+clip is too long, causing inter... | |
| Do well-intentioned people move your speakers? my house keeper is a "symetry fanatic", and she use to move my speakers to place them in perfect symetry and toe them in at 45 degrees. I finally had to politely tell her to never touch my audio gear again. any of it. she's a great housekeeper who... | |
| B&K ST 140 I would call B&K tech support and ask them. You may want to be more specific about "no bass". My experience with the ST140, and ST1400 (I had both of them) is as Schipo says - they don't generate a lot of bass compared to many other amps. | |
| Anyone cure hum with isolation transformers? I'm not sure if this is the type of isolation transformer you're refering to, but I used on of these: Ground Isolation Transformer to eliminate a ground loop caused by my TV cable connection to my HT system. It worked great with no apparent advers... | |
| What Record Clamp for LP12? I like the JA Michell clamp. http://www.needledoctor.com/JA-Michell-Record-Clamp?sc=2&category=421It's very light, low profile, and works great. I tried the Sota clamp and aside from it being too tall to fit under my dust cover, it's pretty go... | |

| Radio Shack MINIMUS 7 crossover upgrade I recently replaced the crossover in my Minimus 7s. I considered the kit that Sfar refers to (sold on ebay), I also searched Audio Asylum where there's lots of advice. In the end I simply built a 1st order crossover from parts I purchased at Parts... | |
| Rega spindle too short the Achromat comes in 3mm and 5mm thickness. the 3mm mat setting on your IA platter may be the ticket. It provides the label relief w/o touching your platter. The 5mm may also work, but that would only leave 1/8" of spindle to center your LP. | |
| Rega spindle too short I was wondering what would be the downfall of not having the recess, because I don't think that I will be puting the mat back on soon.I believe that the idea behind acrylic platters is that the impedance of acrylic is very close to that of vinyl, ... | |
| Rega spindle too short however the Iron Audio acrylic platter does not have a LABEL recess machined into the top surface so if you do not use a mat of any sort, the record will not sit flush with the playing surface. Iron Audio recommends the use of a mat.bummer. The pr... |
