| Preamp vs Av receiver preouts You are lucky. Your anthem has two inputs. So get a dedicated 2 channel preamp and hook it to the balanced inputs. When listening to 2 channel sound your yamaha isn't involved. For AV, run pre out from your Yamaha front channels to the Anthem... | |
| Polishing a Micro Seiki RT 3000G Gunmetal platter I may have misinterpreted the question. but looks like you're getting a variety of anwers. Good luck. --Jerry | |
| Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value? A statement in the form of a question. | |
| Polishing a Micro Seiki RT 3000G Gunmetal platter I have polished a lot of metals, mostly stainless steel, to mirror finish. Shafts I spin as fast as possible, 2500 rpm. something as big as a platter you’ll have to spin slower in the name of safety. Of course i’m talking about using a lathe. The... | |
| What was the best (most impactful) piece of new equipment to hit the market in 2023? @fastfreight You mean Grimm MU2. have you heard it? I have the MU1. I haven't heard the MU2. | |
| Music server vs. external hard drive to DAC Sorry @maxwave, I thought maybe it was an honest mistake. No insult intended. | |
| Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET @atmasphere I'm headed to the shop or a while. Hope I didn't say anything you thought was offensive and thanks for the discussion. Jerry | |
| Music server vs. external hard drive to DAC @maxwave did you post in the wrong thread? or are you trying to hijack? | |
| Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET @atmasphere I don’t think we’re going to agree here. I’ll just say that your thought that the fuse is always properly sized to prevent a "poorly engineered power transformer" from blowing is an example of what I meant by overly optomistic. You thi... | |
| Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET @atmasphere I've made a pretty good career mysefl, unscrewing the things that OEMs have screwed up. This spring I spent 2 weeks in rural North Carolina helping a vendor figure out how they screwed up a multimillion dollar order. If I hadn't been... | |

| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape I have a friend with R2R. He points out all of the challenges which are much more than most realize. but he says when he has time and freedom for a R2R listening session, it is worth it. | |
| Pending shipping questions. Coming via truck, that is normal. We get truck shipments at my facility frequently. The truck drivers don't like to update progress for a variety of reasons including just personal privacy as they drive. So shipments just show up, usually not w... | |
| Structural beam in middle of listening room @o_holter Just a suggestion. I can assure you that the 2 column arrangement is stronger than the one column as your span become shorter (1/3 vs 1/2). Not sure what kind of columns you have. You could do it yourself with one or 2 of these $150 ... | |
| Music server vs. external hard drive to DAC So to actually answer your question, I'd say usually a streamer from an online service should not sound better (usually). Assuming your external hard drive is good quality and you have no equipment issues, and the files on your HDD are full resol... |
