| Vinyl and slurring S'es The sound that you are hearing is formally known as "sibilance".A number of good possibilities are mentioned above; may or may not be the issue here, so you'll have to experiment.The cause may also be dirty/un-conditioned AC power, the wrong inter... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? There are about a million different approaches - the "right" one is the one that works best in your own rig.My present "digital stack":one-box CDP on top - (no mass loading atop of it)Orchard Bay titanium conesOrchard Bay brass pucksBlack Diamond ... | |
| Modification to older ADS 2002 spkrs bi-amped Your speakers have their own internal amplifiers? No doubt this will work; you should be able to drive them from any line level component or linestage preamp & without any modifications.You simply need to find out the pinout of the interface, ... | |
| Video shielding for rear projection TVs? you may be able to wrap mu-metal around the speakers' magnets in order to shield their magnetic fields from the video display | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? what a clown...He cannot block your email, because it was delivered via Audiogon emailer; if he blocks that then he's blocked ALL email from the remailer utility, & therefor will not receive any offers at all. Duh! This seller with no manners ... | |
| Does anyone actually rackmount ????? Rack mounting gives a nice appearance & certainly saves some space. When 1/16" nylon washers are installed between the faceplates & the screws, there is no damage whatsoever detectable; if you didn't know that the piece had been mounted th... | |
| Analogue Upgrade Help. I certainly agree with the recommendation of the Grado Statement Reference in a high output model. I also have a MK4 TT with a classic Grado Signature arm; this cartridge sounds fantastic with this combo. Surface noise is so extremely low; it's ju... | |
| Terrible room. Contemplating headphones. Help Look at it this way: the equipment will probably be with you longer than you'll be stuck in that room, so just hang some blankets on the walls, maybe carpet the ceiling, install some inexpensive tweaks etc. This way you won't need to start all ove... | |
| Phony buyers on Audiogon probably changed their mind but just don't want to admit it, so made up the "I'm broke" excuse instead. Doubtful that someone would hunt you down for a $950 component if that's your concern? Don't lose any sleep over this one... | |
| Freeze first, or cook first? Your recipe? Mr Salmon your experiences with ECO3 can be duplicated at only 20% of that cost, by picking up a spray can of Endust for Electronics locally.From there I would move on to a good dry contact cleaner (dry meaning without any oily residue base) such ... | |
| Are Nordost really the Rolls Royce of cables? it is entirely possible that some who have not liked the quatro fil, found them to be so objectionable because they revealed how truly awful their system actually was... | |
| Death of Vinyl? Nah so many people have observed my records openly shelved in the listening room & laughingly asked "what are you saving those for?". Some of these LP's are older than I am, & I'm no spring chicken. So I sample-track them a CD, & then unco... | |
| How much better are the Classic 45 rpm vs 33 LPs? expect some amazing dynamics, high signal/noise + low noise, shorter playing times of course. Higher cost is only worthwhile up to a certain point; don't break the bank. You know better than we what they're worth to you. | |
| Where does your user name come from? so Sean you're not the only one here with a guilt complex? If you think it was me, well then I'll admit I think it might have been me, but I actually don't remember. Admittedly I have occasionally (actually rarely) picked on a few irresistables, b... | |
| Synergism one factor in favor of the Cary is that it will play HDCD's a big bonus IMO (I am obviously a big fan of HDCD, of which there is much greater availability than SACD, & at equivalant cost to redbook). Ayre makes some great stuff too, so chosing... |
