| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Does the world really need another piece of audio jewelry disguised as a record cleaner? Where should I put it - next to my Porsche design stainless steel and lucite hand mop?This looks like an interesting way to clean records. But, based only on ... | |
| my peachtree decco experience, your upgrade advice I will second Loomisjohnson's recommendation. Try using the Decco as a preamp/DAC in front of the power amp of your choice. In my office, I have paired the Decco with a tube amp and it works very well. For use in an HT setup, it might be a bit mor... | |
| Anybody tried KT120 tubes on Conrad Johnson amps? Sparky, not to sound argumentative; but I do not think that upgrading the caps in an amp is the same as swapping a non-spec'd power tube. Capacitor technology has improved significantly in the last 30 years, and there is little to no risk in repla... | |
| Anybody tried KT120 tubes on Conrad Johnson amps? This does not directly answer your question, but when I owned a Premier 11A the previous owner had been using KT-88s. He thought that they sounded great but wondered why he kept blowing fuses and why the tubes needed frequent biasing and replacing... | |
| Heresy II upgrades? Macdadtexas,Have you listened to the Heresy II? Rebuild or replace the crossovers, but IMHO I don't think that the upgrade to III's will buy you all that much.Now, if you are talking about rebuilding your IIs into CS-1s - that's a whole different ... | |
| Best Audio Store Name? Pacific Stereo in California, late 70's. All the cool people worked there, all the wanna be's shopped thereI think the wanna-be-cool guys worked at either Pacific Stereo or University Stereo. The really cool guys worked at the RSL store in Van Nuy... | |
| Phase inverting problem This is simple:1- Your PV-12A is phase inverting. Reverse the red/black connections on the back of EACH speaker. DO NOT try reversing ICs.2- Your phono stage is phase correct - so leave the cartridge headshell leads alone (wired normally).FWIW, I ... | |
| Budget integrated amps for garage system Since you are going to use an iPod, why not consider the Peachtree iDecco? Or a used Decco and a custom cable might be less expensive. Either unit should be more than loud enough in a garage with any reasonably efficient speakers. | |
| Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3 Curious, if your speakers sound like you are holding a pillow over them then I doubt that you have an amp problem (unless your amp is faulty). More likely is that either: 1- You might need to rebuild or replace the crossovers. Doesn't seem likely ... | |
| Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3 I agree with the responses above. The Klipsch Heritage line sounds great with tubes. But if you're not a tube guy, your NAD should work great. I have paired vintage Sansui & Luxman SS amps and receivers with KG4s, Heresys, Chorus et al, and ha... | |
| Correct amp for Dynaudio Audience 42? I have a pair of Audience 42Ws for my office system, which have no rear port and can be placed against the wall. I picked these up on a whim with the intent to resell, not thinking to pair them with tube gear as I prefer. I was surprised at how go... | |
| How important is the tonearm? Scipo said... most designers try to keep The tonearm's mass has low as possible to avoid unnecessary wear on the grooves.I do not agree with that statement. What does tonearm mass have to do with tracking force, in and of itself? Tonearm mass is a... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15 The Cornscala can be a very, very good speaker, depending on who built it and how much thought they put into the process. If you look carefully at Crites' site and read the many comments on Klipsch and other sites, it's apparent that this is very ... | |
| Suggestions/Help? Theresamarie1,I have heard a lot of descriptions of K/IIs, but 'tinny/screechy' would not be one of them. Are you sure that all is well with your speakers or your system upstream? | |
| Garrard 301 Dividoro,Look here: Keystrobe Turntable EssentialsThese folks make a replacement strobe and pulsar unit for Garrard 301, 401 and 124 decks that negates the need for frequency-specific platters. They seem to be reasonably priced as well. I am conte... |
