| Like it or not..... some guy has a comedy sketch that I've heard numerous times on the old Dr. Demento Show on Sunday night FM; the routine is called "reinstalling windows" it's pretty funny stuff | |
| MusiCoat no I haven't but as you may be aware you can get Musicoat from SMC Audio.com aka: Steve McCormack. Should be able to provide you with more info. if desired. | |
| No ground, should I worry? re: Grounding: If it ain't broke then don't fix it. BTW fuses sound better than breakers: try to have an old ceramic fuse in the circuit sourcing your audio rig vs. a glass fuse which doesn't so sound good. The newer plastic body fuses seem to be ... | |
| Have you made any resolutions for the year 2002? I made a resolution to not make any resolutions | |
| HDCD List somewhere? yes that's a good site but is reportedly not a complete rundown of all available HDCD releases. Certainly better than nothing. | |
| Urgent Help: Wire for dedicated lines??? 30A wire capacity to 20A outlet is fine if the conductors will fit the outlet screws. I didn't go any larger than #10awg because any larger is a bear to work with (& won't fit into the outlet anyway). Wiring code advises against 2nd seperate g... | |
| how to best a/b cables I wasn't going to comment on this, but the misinformation in some of the above has caused me to reconsider. You have two pair of phono outputs in parallel to each other. You take two pair of cables, only one at a time terminated into the preamp de... | |
| Do cables really need "breaking in"? interconnects are the most sensitive to breakin & can take several hundred hours, speaker cable not quite as long. You won't believe any of this until you hear it yourself though. I once tried to return some expensive ic's but the dealer talke... | |
| Caig Products Caig is pretty good stuff alright, but Kontact is better yet. | |
| Urgent Help: Wire for dedicated lines??? There are numerous upgrade wires available for dedicated lines which I've read about (try to find those archive threads; Kimber is one definite source) but I used #10 solid copper THHN. Mike VansEvers gave me this idea which has worked so well tha... | |
| Advise on VHS/VCR to purchase New or Used?? Super VHS machine is the way to go in that respect. Check the J&R Music World site they have several models available. | |
| HDCD List somewhere? Unfortunately viewing the box graphics doesn't always tell you an HDCD from redbook - they're not always ID'd as HDCD. We've had several pleasant "surprises" in that respect but I wish they'd make a better effort to more prominently identify these... | |
| UNO speakers Those who don't like horns are actually not liking what's being sent into them because they are SO sensitive & revealing. Only very refined componentry will make you happy driving horns. Can't help you regarding having "lived with the Avantgar... | |
| speakers rewiring Kimber DIY series has some nice wire available for speaker retro-upgrading; talk to their tech support guys for recommendations. Also try Michael Percy Audio. | |
| Is it really the Champion? McCormack's phono stage for the RLD is same as the standalone micro phono box which is a very good value based phono pre. I used to have one & would recommend doing the addon. Your desired level of analog involvement would determine your front... |
