| Building a Power Strip, any advise? Ozzy,There are some very good A/V power strips out there. Admittedly, they are usually overpriced.Hopefully you have never had to, or never will, make a insurance claim for a home fire. But once you have been through the nightmare that most insura... | |
| Building a Power Strip, any advise? Not to sound negative, but why in heaven's name would you build your own power strip? They aren't that expensive, and unless you are going to submit your device for UL certification you could have some issues collecting from your insurance company... | |
| Thorens TD124 vs Sota star sapphire Both are great looking and sounding decks (or in the case of the TD-124, can be with enough love, time and $$$). Which is better for you I think will largely depend on the following factors:1- Do you want or require a deck w/ an active suspension ... | |
| Which tonearm for vintage Micro Seiki BL-91 No VTA on the fly though so a bit worried about thatUnless you have so much time on your hands that you can afford to (or are anal enough to want to) reset VTA for different LP thickness, VTA on the fly is probably only really necessary if you are... | |
| Meridian 508.24 Service Elberoth2,You are correct, sir. I thought Philips but typed Pioneer. I guess I should stop replying late at night... | |
| From PC / Mac to DAC into Monoblocks, Direct? Cwlondon,I haven't found a DAC that sounds better, is built as well or has all the features of the Antelope Zodiac Gold for anywhere near the price. | |
| Meridian 508.24 Service I still have a 508.24 and I think that it's still one of the best sounding players ever. Mine occasionally has trouble reading a CD until it worms up, but once warm it's fine. Most of the problems with these units involves (occasionally) repairing... | |
| Vintage McIntosh & JBL System As much as I have to disagree with Buconero117, my experience on eBay has been the opposite.Why? Because someone who may want your MR65 tuner will probably not want all of the other gear. Remember, it's not just the price of the gear. Buyers don't... | |
| From PC / Mac to DAC into Monoblocks, Direct? Swampwalker is correct, you will need a DAC with volume (or gain) attenuation. There are several models that will do this, and a few that feature a remote control in case that's important to you.I use an Antelope Zodiac Gold for this purpose for m... | |

| Discount Stores, i.e. newaudiovideo.com When I called the manufacturer they told me they are suing this guy and I should stay away.Taters, what else would you expect the manufacturer to say? They are trying to protect their registered dealer channel, and rightly so. But that does not ne... | |
| SP10 MK3 recommendation Raul,While I agree that much of the fascination with 12" tonearms is stylistic, that is also true for turntables and almost every other piece of "audiophile" gear. But there are still some valid and practical differences that make 12" tonearms use... | |
| Discount Stores, i.e. newaudiovideo.com I'm not suggesting that you should buy from these guys, but I would venture to say that you probably won't receive a fake or knockoff product if you did.GP Acoustics, the HK-based company that owns KEF, manufactures loads of consumer electronics a... | |
| Mordaunt-Short loudspeakers I am familiar with the Carnival and the (original) MS20/30 speakers. Excellent in their day, but for some reason they never really took hold in the U.S. When the company wass sold in 1999, the new owners changed the classic designs to more modern/... |
