| Best looking reel to reel OMG, those United reels are so ghetto! Too much bling for this white boy. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! I need the next higher rated Pods for my other critical sources myself, as they weigh 47lbs (CD/SACD player) and about 50 (VPI table). Same for the power amp and speakers. But the IsoAcoustic GAIA looks interesting, too. I'm in no hurry, gonna tak... | |
| RCA Caps What ever works. But I'll wager than if non-shorting caps are beneficial, shorting caps will be even more so. In this case, the "why" is no mystery.Speaking of shorting caps and understanding them, here's a story Bill Johnson told at an instore ap... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Ha prof, beat ya to 'em! The set I got are rated for 8lbs. apiece, so I can try them under both my tube phono and line amps, and Townshend Rock table. If they're as good as they're supposed to be, I'll get some more---a set for the SACD player and... | |
| RE: Finite Elements Cerabase Slimline Precision Audio Footers are Recommended Todd, another idea posted on Diament's site is chrome or nickel drawer handles, the round ones with a concave face. Bolt three of them to a plank of MDF or plywood, and put a ball bearing in each. Ten bucks oughta cover all the parts. | |
| RCA Caps As long as you're going to put caps of some sort on your unused RCA inputs, might as well make them shorting caps. Why spend more for non-shorting Cardas' than for cheaper true-shorting caps? Seems obvious to me, a no-brainer if there ever was one! | |
| Lee Ann Womack And I'm going to give Lee Ann's new album a listen. I may love it! By the way, she duets with one of my favorite current male artists---the great Buddy Miller, on an album of Buddy's entitled Buddy & Friends: Cayamo Sessions At Sea. It's an al... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Right, prof?! I wanted to find out how tall the Seismic Pods are, and neither the U.S. Townshend distributor nor any Townshend retailer could tell me. Lame! I just bought a used pair here on Audiogon---when they get to me I’ll post the Pods’ dimen... | |
| New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM twoch---Lower, no. The DWM doesn’t play lower than the MG3.7, or even the 1.7. But it does provide more output above the frequency at which Maggies start rolling off---40-45Hz. It’s NOT a sub, it’s a bass driver. | |
| Lee Ann Womack I really, really tried to like Lee Ann awhile back. I love Hard Country, Singer-Songwriter type music, most of my favorite current artists being in that genre. It can be a subtle thing, but there is a definite chasm between artists and entertainer... | |
| Support table or shelf for turntable Good stuff whart. All my speakers are dipoles (original Quads, Magneplanars, Eminent Technology LFT's), and I have been dealing with their backwave for years. But imo that wave is of less concern that is the vibration coming up into a turntable fr... | |
| RCA Caps I found the Aurora Tronics plugs in a 2015 ebay ad. It doesn't matter who makes them, as long as the hot center pin and outer ground are soldered together, to create the short. Anything less is merely cosmetic. | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers walterzlife---Whenever I see a comment such as yours, I can’t help but ask: How can you be so very, very sure? Have you heard all the ESL speakers available today? The Music Reference, for instance? All the SoundLab models? The Sanders 10e? All th... | |
| RE: Finite Elements Cerabase Slimline Precision Audio Footers are Recommended For not a whole lot of $, Ingress Engineering in Canada offers a couple of roller bearing models. The top model is made to Diament’s specs. Better than Symposium’s Rollerblock, and cheaper. | |
| Advise on TT Support Platform Whatever the nature of the structure, you will want to isolate the turntable from it and terra firma. Cost-no-object via a Minus K table, on the cheap (relatively) by a set of Townshend Audio Seismic Pods. |
