| Note for those who buy used equipment... He's full of crap. It is simply not true of most manufacturers. They may not warranty used stuff, but they certainly will repair it at your cost. Maybe he (or you) was confused about support - meaning of warranty repair vs customer paid repair. | |
| Music Server For $2K-$3K, buy a McIntosh MS300 (used)I'm very happy with the usability of this Escient-based unit. | |
| Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx I moved up from the Dynaudio C4 to the Temptation. No comparison. The C4 needs to be played relatively loud to get into its comfort zone. The Temptation can be played at any level and be very satisfying.Seems to me if you like your current C4s, th... | |
| Leaving amplifiers on all the time??? I have had my Adcom 555 pre-amp and amp on for more than 20 years, give or take a few OFF periods now and then. | |
| What do you do with all those CD's?? Get 4 Sony megachangers (they're cheap). If you don't want to use them for playing CDs, you don't have to. You can just use them for storage and retrieval, with an alphabetical listing on paper cross referencing to the changer and slot number. | |
| Trap TT vibrations with lint traps "These traps are probably 80% "hole" and 20% steel and have some springiness, so intuitively they should have some damping properties."==============================================You have it wrong. Springy and damping are not the same thing. The... | |
| How do you ship large items? Help 1) The SELLER should have them professionally crated, whether that means by an outside company or by actually purchasing a pair of new crates from the speaker manufacturer.2) Given #1, then you can use a company like Yellow Freight to pick them up... | |
| Is two Subs better than One? Hamburg, I think many people forget that that paper is primarily about providing smooth bass across a fairly wide seating area.======================Actually, the paper is about provding 'repeatable' bass over a wide area. It assumes that you will... | |

| Most Reliable CDPs? Esoterics are extremely well made and very reliable. However, they sometimes can be noisy, exhibiting varying amounts depending on the CD being played. If this kind of thing bothers you, then make sure you listen carfully to the particular unit yo... | |
| preamp with processor loop... My McIntosh C200 has both a "listen" processor loop and a "record" processor loop, as well as the traditional tape loop. All very useful. | |
| Help with recording image of record groove needed [The video image is the only thing we need to worry about now. Audio will be edited into the video separately. We're not even sure if the artist will want synchronicity between the visual imagery and the audio track.]I think you misunderstand. Wha... | |
| Any balanced one end/rca the other interconnects? Funny you should ask.I just sent a pair of 2.5m balanced Kimber Heroes to the factory to be cut in half and terminated with RCAs on one end so that I'd get the two pair of RCA/XLR cables I need for my set up.Now I don't need to mess with adapters ... | |
| If hard drive betters optical digital retrieval Nah, if you are going to do something like this, it would be better to just transfer the CD info to a flash memory and play it out of there. No spinning discs at all after the data is fully retrieved. Or a small buffering delay if you want to just... |
