| Tone Controls can be so nice. FM Acoustics makes an EQ, but they call it a Harmonic Linearizer. Tone controls are OK if they cost enough money. http://www.fmacoustics.com/set_domestic.html | |
| Speaker Cable Rebuild - Need Help I don't know if you want to go that route, but Cardas makes some nice adaptors. http://dedicatedaudio.com/inc/sdetail/2246/34729 | |
| Question about shipping damage I don't think they're going to pay for anything, absent a severly damaged outer box. Good luck. | |
| A/B Vinyl/Digital I don't think one can truly evaluate the differences between vinyl and digital until one compares the Rega P1 to the Sony Playstation 1 while listening to Wham!, Gwar, Weird Al and Burl Ives. Then we'll have a valid comparison. | |
| Is 10AWG copper wire sufficient I think you would be prudent to star with garden-variety 10 or 12 gauge cable, such as the stuff available from Blue Jeans Cable. Listen to it for a year and then you'll have a good point of reference as to whether you hear any meaningful improvem... | |
| Help for a vinyl novice A dealer is selling a Music Hall MMF 5.1, 7-day old customer return with full warranty. Comes with everything you need. I had one and it's a very good tt to start out with. When you upgrade, you'll only lose a few hundred bucks. Not bad in this ga... | |
| Has price of used 802N's shot up? It also could be due to significant increases in the list prices. A few years back, I bought a pair of Harbeths for 4K - now up to 6K. That makes a difference in the used prices as well. | |
| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance There are a lot of products like that - but they just don't admit it. | |
| Best universal remote control? The best and the easiest are far from the same thing. It really depends on how much stuff you're trying to control and what you want the remote to do. I had a Logitec and I scrapped it - to many sub menus and not intuitive, although it did do a lo... | |
| Basis 2200 Bass Issue Just one more thing - I'm not very familiar with Vibraplanes, but I do believe they use an air bladder suspension. Linn always cautioned about placing a spring-suspended table on anything that contained a suspension because the two suspensions cou... | |
| Basis 2200 Bass Issue It's sometimes difficult when you change out a source component, as everything in your collection may sound "different". It just takes some getting used to. Listen for a few months and stop screwing around for now. IMO, the Basis has a much more "... | |
| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance +1 on the EQ idea. You can really tailor the sound to suit your tastes. FWIW, I happen to have a few old disco singles - Rapture (Blondie), Forget me Nots (Patrice Rushin), Feel the Need (Detroit Emeralds) and they sound real nice on my system. Bu... | |
| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance I've always believed that the virtues of high-end equipment was geared towards acoustic instruments and that rock lovers would be better served by pro-sound stuff, such as JBL Pro or EAW. In any case, I would recommend you change your speakers to ... | |
| Phasured to Life NOS1 I'm glad you've found something you like. Why don't you listen to it for a year and then update everyone on how great it is - assuming you haven't gone through 3 other players by then. Best of luck. | |
| Arcane inquiry re 1960s speakers ad Great stuff Al. I forgot how many people bought tape recorders back then. |
