| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Hi Tom I agree with you completely about placement under the footers, in theory I don't see how that could work very well at all.Are you saying that although you bypassed the rubber factory footers (by placing cones directly in contact with the ch... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Performed my initial Nordost titanium Pulsar Points testing last night & these things do show some promise. I installed 3 of the Pulsar's with their tops directly contacting the EAD Ultradisc 2000 CD player chassis - I figure that's a more val... | |
| Finger Print Removal on Aluminum Faceplates Tony whatever makes you happy is cool with me - no need to rehash the old debate :) We agree to disagree on the subject 'nuff said.Windex or Sparkle I can agree with, but again not on any electrical contacting surfaces. | |
| FM Antenna placement, wiring Please refer to this thread: lots of relevant info here for you.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1030012710&openusid&zzBigo&4&5#Bigo | |
| Finger Print Removal on Aluminum Faceplates I use a spray can of Endust for Electronics; it's a both great cleaner & static neutralizer. Spray some on a small swatch of blue lint-free paper towel & clean your faceplate &/or the whole component, exchanging to fresh sides or new p... | |
| Busted Phillips Screws next time, try tightening a bit before attempting to loosen. I learned this trick from an old pro machinist many years ago; still works the last time I needed to uncover an amp that just wouldn't cooperate. | |
| What are 6 feet going to do for me? Interesting hypothesis regarding inductance. If this is true (certainly it could be) then how in the world does *adding* inductance (via the PS Audio Power Port) reportedly improve some rigs to a significant degree? Just seems contradictory to me;... | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords David Blair at Custom Power Cord Co. in Skokie IL uses heavy liberal shielding for all of his AC cords with great results; evidence that this can in fact be done to good effect when properly engineered. Now take another look at shielding from a so... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? "The best cone material" is the material that works best for you in your own setup. Too numerous variables determine the optimum approach; the only way to find out is via experimentation. Even the specific placement of the cones certainly has a ve... | |
| Circuit Breaker for Dedicated Lines The worst sounding breaker is a GFI type so avoid that completely. But a ceramic base edison fuse is the best sounding above any ckt. breaker by far. If you can outboard a small sub-panel fusebox paralleled across your incoming main, then by all m... | |
| Grado Sonata, I need help. interconnect synergy issues? | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Cdc thanks for the placement tip: I just removed the Orchard Bay titanium's & installed the ceramic DH's last night, & am so far not impressed. Will try your approach next. | |
| Cart update: old TT, new electronics Hi Scott - you guys are more knowledgable about these compatibility issues than I am; I'll gladly contribute within my experience though.Grado is a hybrid design; not moving coil, but not moving magnet either. Grado calls them a moving iron, or va... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Sugarbrie what you said...I've been aware of this too, & found that the Vibrapods need to be loaded basically at the midpoint of their weight range. Just requires some simple math to calculate where you're at. It's like the springs on a vehicl... | |
| Cart update: old TT, new electronics I am quite delighted with the Grado Statement Reference (mine is the low output 0.5mV model) list $1200, but I've heard that you can get one new for around $800. Can't help you with any other comparisons; I'm so happy with this that I've never eve... |
