| Shipping - Who's Resposible for Receipt of Item? I always make it a point to get insurance on anything I ship. If buyer declines to pay the extra, then it is clearly HIS fault if the package becomes lost.I always, always, always insure. It's not a Buyer option. For items under $100 insurance is ... | |
| Ground Loop Hum - Partially Identified - Solution? Looking at the specs it appears this should pass HD too!It does indeed pass HD.As for your amp ground loop problem, I assume your CJ amp has a captive power cord. If it doesn't, PSAudio power cords have a removable ground pin. I use them for my am... | |
| Ground Loop Hum - Partially Identified - Solution? here's the part you want: Groundloop Isolation TransformerI worked beautifully for me. $17.95 list, and they have it on special for $8.95. | |
| Sansui SP-1500 Speakers interesting thread on the crossover rework. I remember being in a small boutique in N California and they had a pair of these that I assume were the SP1600's or 1700's ( a little larger than the 1500's). They really sounded nice - which made it mo... | |
| Bamboo isolation better than maple? I made a set of amp stands from Bamboo cutting boards that I purchased from TJ Max. They are 2" thick, cost $19.95 each. These are very dense but not nearly as much so as Maple. Still, I'm very satisfied with the results and doubt very much that I... | |
| Sansui SP-1500 Speakers I don't know the answer to your first question. But, I picked up a pair of these free some time ago. I like the cabinets (good contruction, that classic 70's look) but they sounded flat. I gutted them, cut a new baffle board and installed an 8" Re... | |
| VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to? I started with a pair of VR3's. I liked them but decided I wanted a little better (deeper) bass. I settled on VR4genIII's. I like them even better (alot). Since I was building a dual purpose room (stereo/HT), I decided to go with all VSR. I added ... | |

| DVD music concerts Sure would be nice to see them all together again.hmmm, I saw a news item last week that Genesis is getting back together. Sadly, I believe it's the version sans Gabriel and Hackett. Wouldn't it be nice to see the Original Genesis (actually the ma... | |
| Any Can fans out there? I've had "Future Days" since 75 and it's still in play. I picked up "Tango Mago" last year, and it's very interesting. A little more "out there" than Future days. | |

| DVD music concerts as already mentioned, there are multiple threads on this topic, but I'm going to list mine here also since there are some new ones since I last posted. It's obviously subject to music taste - but there may be something for everybody. Some of these... | |
| Pink Floyd"TDSOTM" SACD:2 ch SACD playback? maybe I'm dumb, but I recently purchased this SACD and play it in 2 ch exclusively. I sounds great. I think the statement on the back refering to the 5.1 mix is a disclaimer so noone sues them because they can't hear 5.1 from their 2 channel boom ... | |
| Need advice for full range speaker with bottom end I agree with Tvad on the VR4 GenIII. Mine are the regular gen IIIs and I'm quite happy with them. You can probably save ~$600-1000 on the Non-HSE models. There is a pair listed on A'gon right now for $2200. My other system uses Totem Mani-2s with ... |
