| How good is your memory Not very. That is why I have always kept an audio 'journal'. It is a must for newbies. That way memory is not necessary. | |
| Is it best to isolate?? Isolate from what? Player vibrations, acoustic energy, foot falls, rack resonance? The most overlooked one is acoustic energy. To prove that just place your finger on the front of the player while playing your typical music, and not. You will be a... | |
| New LP's made from analog or digital masters Most people can easily tell if the master used is analog. Rarely is it not better then the digital production that was used to create the cd. A great example of this is Steve Hoffman's mastering from the analog masters of Eva Cassidy's Songbird lp... | |
| Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out? Off you go to monoprice. There stuff is valued priced and does sound great. | |
| Denon DP-47F arm return problem? Help needed I've had, and still have the 47F. The problem you described most likely is a problem with the micro processor board, not the mechanical parts. I doubt it is a voltage adjustment. If you find a replacement from a parts machine that would be an inex... | |
| Looking for New Speakers - Suggestions Waste no more time. Go Directly to JBL Everest speakers. They were in the RMAF Kimber room, hope you took a listen. If not, take a leap of faith. Visually they will take your breath away. You may think of these as HT stuff, but in the right room, ... | |

| Two subs in a small room.... Look for a passive sub. RA Labs (Roy Allison) made some good ones and they show up in the used market at very low prices. Essential they pull out the lows and create a great mid range. | |
| Reel to reel signal to noise ratios appear low?? Over-compressed tells you why Lp's and reel stuff always sounds better. I have a significant collection of pre-recordered reel tapes that were done for broadcast stations. The source of the recordings were lp's. Since these were done professionall... | |
| Horror story turned into a happy ending Ty is certainly a winner with the great customer service he provides. A comment on shipper/carriers. Use no one but UPS, the claims process is the best that is available from any of the carriers, and that is not to say it works all the time. I hav... | |
| Best speaker value between $1800-$2100 Allow a budget for some room treatments as with all tha glass any speaker will have problems. | |
| how do you ship? UPS, no other. Fedex ground is danageous. Not only do they rough handle the packages, an insurance claim will never be paid if the item is damaged, especially if the item was not shipped in the original manufactuerers packing materials and boxes. ... | |
| Repairs by "High Tech Electronics" in NYC Does Brooklyn qualify? If so try HiEng Repair on Ocean Parkway. I've used him and found he knows what he is doing, and does so at reasonable prices. Aside from running his travel agency, he only does electronic repairs. |
