| Tripp Lite LC-1800a TrippLite is sending me a manual. The LC-1800 is available, and the LC-1800a is not. I'm hoping that the LC-1800a acts as the LC-1800 with added voltage regulation. | |
| Maggie Home Theater Speaker Set-up advise Thanks for your opinions. I'll try your rear speaker setup. The side surrounds are already as you prescribe--I didn't want to go to that much detail in describing my setup. As it is, this thread is the least reponded to of all I have posted. Also ... | |
| Record mats, VTA, clamps and my ears Thank you all for your comments. It's so nice to find like minded individuals that write extremely graphically explicit technically confusing sentences that need to be read a half dozen times!An interesting side note: I had been using a tweaked ou... | |
| Halo Tube Dampers, Work for you? They worked ok for me. I tried them on different tubes and got different results. Overall, I liked what they do, and am using them in my system. But I didnt like using them everywhere. This deserves a retest, since I'm at a loss to say WHY the sou... | |
| What's everybody listening to this evening? Electric Ladyland, the second stereo pressing (Hendrix's mix) on vinyl floats and sings. Who needs drugs? | |
| Vinyl, Shellac, wax- hat's the differance? Thanks for the info. Is there some way to tell the difference so I don't accidently use IPA?Thanks,Bruce | |
| Cleaning Vinyl A few questions-EVERYONE seems to prefer the VPI to the Nitty Gritty. I've got a Nitty Gritty. Am I stupid? Uninformed? Having never used a VPI, I need an explanation--hopefully not just an opinion, but from someone who has actually USED both.I re... | |
| No interest in battery powered components? Hey, I'm willing to try it. But I have no idea where to begin. It seems that the components that I have that run off of wall warts should be easiest. Is it?Also, could you elaberate slightly on the comment that you 'use automotive battery chargers... | |
| What is your "evaluation cd"? I've used Jakob Dylan's "Bringing Down the Horse" because until recently, every upgrade removed some hash but still sounded noisy and distorted unnaturally at some places. To be specific, there are times when a highly distorted electric guitar is ... | |
| What DAC should I buy? The MSB Nelson (and above)DAC's accept the balanced input that your Monarchy DIP provides. Stereophile loves this combo. The MSB DACs actually use a SEPERATE lower quality DAC for HDCD, and HDCD cannot be used with upsampling. I prefer upsampling ... | |
| Converting to Analog I don't want to argue. I've sold over $20 million dollars of collectables, and I stand by my assertation that Windex will damage a jacket in the long term and is only done by unknowledgable or deceitful sellers. Let's just agree to disagree on this. | |
| Converting to Analog I don't like the idea of using Windex. Most glass cleaners are a combination of water, isopropyl alcohol, ammonia, and lemon extract. Assuming the water doesn't damage anything, ammonia and lemon will have serious consequenses long term. The cardi... | |
| Side Surround Speaker Cable Advise Please? Offhand, I'd try the RatShack top of line from Monster. It's 12 gauge and 89 or 99 cents per foot. I wouldn't spend a lot more for surround speakers because there are so many problems with getting serious quality in this installation. My system ru... | |
| Converting to Analog In no particular order:Cleaning jackets and sleeves is not something I do, but I have done some Professional Comic Book repair. On the cheap is a cleaning pad available at an art supply store. The pad is filled with a powder. You shake the bag, ru... | |
| AC Power cords, which components 1st...? The Cheapskate answers:Don't fret about it. Keep a look on audiogoN and buy one each of cables as they come up for less than $70 each including shipping. Play around with each cord as they arrive. Cords are very system specific. With the law of di... |
