| cdp acting funny the pickup may be getting dirty; you can try using a CD laser lens cleaning disc. I have one from Audio Source. It has a tiny brush that rotates to clean the lens. If you can access the pickup by opening the cover you might try a blast of clean "c... | |
| FM antenna for the attic? Two antennas in my attic: FM yagi works quite well, and VHF-UHF hybrid does a real good job too, even at 60 miles in deep fringe. The FM has a Magnum Dynalab Signal Sleuth preselector amp (located at the tuner) which helps even more although not n... | |
| Bent Banana Plug how badly did you bend them? If it's not too bad you can attempt to straighten the prongs by slipping the banana into a cylinder of only slightly larger diameter,then apply reasonable torque in the opposite direction. I am picturing a nut driver w... | |

| Grado or Shure I've enjoyed Shure's products for many years and presently have a Grado woodbody which is also very nice. Your choice might best be determined by fitness of application because both are good products. Compare cartrige compliance with suitability t... | |
| What is Musicality? The basis of music is the conveyance of emotion. When the sound speaks to your soul, when the absolute beauty of the composition moves the listener to tears, then the emotion originally inherent in the composition is coming through to you, and tha... | |
| Those black boxes degrade sound? MIT and Transparent cables "boxes" contain passive componentry which linearises transit time, such that all frequencies are theoretically in phase at the load end of the cable. Far from degrading your sound the networks are installed to enhance th... | |
| Using balance to compensate for speaker distance Ordinarily I would certainly advise against unequal length cabling and absolutely discourage butt connectors whatsoever. And I surely wouldn't place speakers on a wall mounted shelf. You would have to buy more cable? So you buy more! Even at $80 p... | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? sounds as though we all have plenty of company here...I do use the soft earplugs often at work whenever in noisy locations, and that really helps. The ringing always worsens whenever exposure to loud, or even medium-loud noises or music occurs. Ex... |
