| Settings for Oppo bdp105 used with external DAC (Tambaqui) Are you sure your dac is set to accept the input and that your cable is working? Recheck pages 64-68 of the Oppo manual again. | |
| Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review? People often criticize reviewers, but how many trust their own ears enough to buy something not reviewed by the mainstream? From what I can see, not that many. | |
| Transimpedance phono stage I just don’t want to leave the impression that the TZ Vibe wasn’t a very good preamp. It’s midrange was extremely clear and there was no harshness whatsoever. It might be perfect in your system. Personally, if I had a Gryphon, I would get the phon... | |
| Transimpedance phono stage IMO, you are on the verge of falling into the trap of selecting a product based on its technology as opposed to sound. I admit is is attractive to have a phono preamp that does the loading for you, but that’s not everything. I had a vibe for audi... | |
| Recommended Speakers For Digital Integrated For the music you like, I would recommend going to Amazon and picking up a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers. IMO, they will please you more than the audiophile type speakers with small woofers. If you are looking for bass impact, go for the CVs. | |
| What the ship just happened? If the amp is otherwise working as it should and the cosmetic damage is not overly objectionable, try to work out a partial refund from the seller. If the damage is beyond what you can look at, I would ask the seller to take it back if they will.... | |

They are well-made and will get you up and running just fine. Under $100 for what you need. My advice is to get set up and listening to music. You will have plenty... | |
| CARDAS newsletter: Counterfeit Cable Warning! on FleaBay I have known this for a long time, which is why I stick to the Odin powecords for $25 each. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. | |
| Vintage Stanton cartridge — extreme lean to one side normal? Or contact VAS cartridge repair and see if they can straighten it out for you. | |
| cartridge retipping But sometimes, as in the case of my 2 Transfiguration carts, they are no longer made and an aftermarket retip is necessary. Soundsmith did one for me and it sounds excellent. VAS did another one, but I haven’t installed it yet. Too bad Transfigura... | |
| How Important Are System Cable Upgrades and Where to Start? I think that if you really like the way your system sounds, you can try upgrading cables to bring out your system’s full potential, which expensive cables may or may not do. If you are not fully satisfied with your sound, I would go for new speake... | |
| Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall Mount it where it’s comfortable to use or you will stop using it. I agree with not putting it in a corner, but other than that, I don’t think it’s that critical unless you have a very large system played at loud volumes. | |
| Linn LP 12 You will be far better off asking about Linn upgrades on the Naim forum. | |
| Owning Up To It Stevie Wonder opening for Three Dog Night. I was there. | |
| NEW DUST COVER CARE AND CLEANING It is more a question of your cleaning tools and techniques than product. Clean microfiber, straight lines, no circular motions. Just remove loose dust with a swiffer before anything. There’s a lot of info on cleaning plexiglass on the net. |
