| cart recommendations for a Clearaudio Concept ghemrock, The concept MC cartridge has a 2.0 tracking force. It's also a great sounding cartridge. As far as the set-up is concerned. Have you tried it without the pillow? I would try to get rid of that & make the stand that holds the maple sl... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? Peace bdp24. We're both music lovers, I just never really got into that style of music. I saw Jerry with the Grateful Dead many times. A lot of fond memories there. | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? My apologies bdp24. I stopped following their music by the time I turned 16 & realized surfing music was pretty much mindless. I just figured he was part of the Kokomo period because it to sucked so badly. | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? Now you're insulting me because I state that Brian was a sellout who led a bubblegum band? Wow is right. I'm not a musician (although I've helped support many over the last 40 years) so maybe I shouldn't state the obvious? If you don't think he's ... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? Since you ask, I do have a term for Brian Wilson... Sellout. He may have been better in another band but then again, he would have still been there so it probably would have turned into another bubblegum piece of crap band. Just my humble opinion. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? No Melos fans? I bought a used 222 preamp in the 90's & am still enjoying it today, in fact right now. I had it services last year (for the first time) & they replaced some of the switches, & the volume pot. Apparently that was their w... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? I have lowther fideleo speakers on a slate floor & have found that spikes on top of ball bearing footers work well. I don't move them once in the sweet spot though. That would truly be a pita. The combination creates a nice soundstage. | |
| What did you own in the 60's? My first system was a Capehart straight from K-Mart. An all in one turntable & 8 track player with 2 very bad speakers. I knew it sounded like crap but at least I could play music of my choice. I updated the speakers to Soundesign in short tim... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? What ramonda said | |
| Isolation footers for amps I was a machinist before getting into management about 30 years ago. That said I am fortunate enough to have some precision metal cutting equipment in my basement & the ability to use it. I made aluminum "tip-toes" about 25 years ago & use... | |
| Looking for a Cheap DAC? IMO the Parasound ZDAC sounds a lot better than it should given the price. I don't have a lot of experience with dac's though. | |
| Will power cable work well as speaker cable? timlub, I searched "romex" in the archives & got over 1200 results. I didn't look for 10/5 romex, but it may be there. | |
| Will power cable work well as speaker cable? No problem williewonka, I appreciate your suggestions. | |
| Will power cable work well as speaker cable? Well I have the Oyaide Tunami power cord set up as speaker cable. They replaced Morrow SP5's. They are still "cold" & there is the tinge (slight grain) in the treble that these cables have until about 100 hours (they gradually lose this). Ther... | |
| Will power cable work well as speaker cable? Thanks treadman, I'll keep them in mind in the future |
