| Has anyone heard of this? My 2 cents . . .This is conceptually not far from the Sports Bar business model, or maybe the Dinner Theater, except the latter two have much lower cost structure for facilities, and probably higher business volume potential. I frankly think it wo... | |
| Glass platter or Acrylic? Achroplat does it change the VTA? or is it simply take the glass off and slip on the Achroplat and play?The Achroplat replaces the glass platter and I believe it maintains the original height so there's no need to adjust the VTA. Of course the ach... | |
| Cables for Totem Model 1 Sigs. I'm using Totem BiWires on my Mani-2s. I'm driving them with Eagle 4 (solid state) power amps, and a Musical Fidelity NuVista preamp. There's no issue with brightness in my case. | |
| Glass platter or Acrylic? another recommendation for the Funk Achromat. I have one that has improved every table I've used it on. Right now I'm using it on my Pink Triangle which already has an achrylic platter. Also, if it were ma I'd also go for the 14mm Achroplat. | |
| B&K Preamps I had a CS117 and it's a very nice pre for the money. Some also include Balanced outs, and a phono stage (but some don't so be careful if you need it). Very quiet, and it also has a passive mode. I recently picked up a Pro 5 - one of the early mod... | |
| Screens I made my own screen using screen (ie canvas) material purchased on ebay (many vendors offer it there). I bought it a couple of years ago and think it cost about $20 or so. It's a hi-quality material that is stretched on a frame constructed of 1x2... | |
| Covers on unused RCA inputs? I had a RFI problem with my preamp I needed to tame, and after coming across a similar thread as this I set out to find come caps. The cardas caps are pricey and I didn't want to spend the dough without knowing they would solve my problem. I decid... | |
| Best Concert Film yep - Prairie Wind is a must have for anyone who likes Neil Young. Great songs, fantastic sonics. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music "Not Alone" by Patty Griffin off of the Living with Ghosts cd.(it's the last track and you don't want it to end) | |
| Austin City Limits I haven't seen an Austin City Limits show that I didn't enjoy, and come to think of it, all of them have been fatastic. I had searched Amazon.com for these shows and only one or two are there. I just checked PBS.ORG (as a result of your post) and ... | |
| Loud Audible Hum/Noise from C/J Tube Amps it's pretty common with many amps. I generally ground my preamp only, and lift the ground on power amps, assuring they have an appropriate ground connection through the IC to the preamp. | |
| Generic Record Cleaning Solutions uhmmm . . . Eldartford, what brand of Vodka is best for record cleaning? (I know which I prefer for "other" uses) | |
| Generic Record Cleaning Solutions TNT Audio has a paper on cleaning fluids (and other things) that includes many fluid recipes. I've had pretty good success with them. Here it is: http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/fluids.htmlAs for 99% Isopropyl, I'm not sure where the reference ca... | |
| Magnepan tonearm The mounting distance is not 224mm. That is the pivot to spindle distance....the pivot and mounting hole are different distances from the spindle. Look at where the actual pivot is and you'll see that it's not over the mounting hole.The spindle to... | |
| Magnepan tonearm I have the Magnepan arm which I have not yet mounted/used. I got it as a "throw-in" on a TT I bought last year. So, I'm not at all an expert but here's what I have found out:The mounting distance is 224.1 mm vs 222 for the Rega. There's a mounting... |
