| Cheap cartidges from Hong Kong: way to go? A friend of mine bought one of the discounted Benz cartridges on eBay. We removed it from the box, placed it under a microscope,and noticed that the stylus was slightly bent and is mis-aligned. My friend e-mails the HK dealer, mentions the problem... | |

| WATTGATE audio grade receptacle Or you can use the larger mount boxes, and pig-tail down to the size that will fit in your receptacle. This is what my contractor did for me, reducing my 6 gauge to 10 gauge, which should fit in any higher quality receptacle (FIM in my case). Oh, ... | |
| Does anybody know where I can find a female wall socket .... I have a 100 Amp sub-panel for my audio only, panel location in the middle of the back wall. The wiring for the 120 VAC 20 receptacles is 6 gauge ran in rigid conduit. The wire runs are only around 7 feet, ran into the larger metal mount boxes, an... | |
| Vinyl price I agree with Detlof. The price guides are often incorrect. Take for example, Goldmines jazz book. It has prices of somewhere around $300.00 for a NM Lee Morgan "Candy". If you can find 2 dozen at that price, I'll take them. They have sold for up t... | |
| HELP Who is Herbie Nichols sp ? I agree with rdbamberg, Herbie Nichols is one of the many highly underrated jazzmen. Many only recognize names like Davis, Coltrane, Mingus, Rollins, etc., when jazz is mentioned. The up side to that is that you should be able to find his original... | |
| Listener fatigue Early digital REALLY caused listener fatigue with me. Anyone remember Columbia's "Disc Quieting" process back in the 1980's? | |
| BAT VK-60 tubes Has anyone here tried using Mullard ECC-34's as a pre-driver tube in the BAT VK-60? Chris Kipp at the Audio Gallery in Sacremento told me that this was THE tube to use. | |
| Vinyl Cleaning Alcohol doesn't damage vinyl by itself. However, sometimes plasticizors are included to the vinyl to make the vinyl composition more flexible and workable. Adding plasticizors make the stamping process easier, and made shipment damage (loss of pro... | |
| Does anyone know of anyone/place that can reterminate cables I'm sure the competition would love to reterminate them for less money. | |
| Point to point wiring VS. PCB drawing Lower labor costs, manufacturing streamlining, and money savings. I'll go along with that, Ehider. | |
| Moral Dilemma I'd be thinking to myself,"I hope that I have all the settings on the camera set correctly, click" | |
| Advice sought on Lowthers. I heard them with Welborne Labs at VSAC, and wasn't really too impressed. I use Focal 165W speakers (custom enclosure)/Tube Research Labs 100 Watt push-pull triode, for comparison sake. There are those that like them, so I guess it is just a matte... | |
| What Would you Trade your System FOR? Okay, Okay, Kennyt, I was wrong! Kirk930 already e-mailed me and called me a dumb a**. I can't argue. I'm the guy that use to auto-cross BRE 510 Datsuns, dreamt of the exotics, got married, and drive a Subaru. I still have the audio though. | |
| High-end CD cleaning machine? The Bedini clarifier doesn't actually clean, does it? Isn't it more of a electro-magnetic treatment? |
