| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? I was there back in the day and, while JBL made maybe the best drivers, I was never knocked out by the speakers, except for my uncle’s JBL Paragon. When I was in my teens, my bud had the Century 100s and even then I preferred my Cerwin Vegas. Almo... | |
| Oppo PM3 Headphones For Sale I never saw the obviously inflammatory post that was removed, but just to clarify - Many of us, including myself, recently purchased Oppo gear and there is a substantial amount of price-gouging going on with both the DVD players and headphones. I... | |
| Going to NYC from the outback of Oregon. Again... I don't want to dampen your spirits, but just so you are aware, NYC audio shops are generally not very open to tire kickers. "Oh, I'm from out of town and I just want to hang out and listen for a few hours" doesn't fly very well in general. NYC ... | |
| Cartridge alignment tool @chakster - I have a question for you. I have an original Denison Soundtractor, which also uses a spindle-to-pivot measuring device. But unless your arm has a dimple specifically made to be microscopically centered over the pivot, how can you ev... | |
| Cleanest CD recording to test with I forgot all about Oregon. I need to try and pick up another copy.Thanks for reminding me. | |
| Simple copper speaker terminal jumpers? Lost my originals. I think jumpers are like anything else in audio. A change may be better or worse, meaning more to your taste or less so. On my Harbeths, the Audience AU24 jumpers cleaned up a somewhat congested lower midrange sound so it was "better". But on m... | |
| Buying large audio equipment No. But I made a vow I'm not buying anything anymore that I can't lift. That's it. | |
| Oppo 205 revelations, questions.. I don't know guys. I like mine very much, but I would have to say my favorite part is probably the headphone jack. It sounds really good with the Oppo PM3 headphones, which I was lucky enough to get on Amazon for $399. I like the simplicity of ... | |
| Bozak concert grand speakers I would just list them on Ebay as a cash-and-carry only item and you will find a buyer. There are a lot of people who love those vintage speakers. I sold my father's EV Royal 400 on Ebay in 1 day, whereas they sat here for a month without a bite... | |
| Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard Studios spend thousands of dollar on good microphones to capture the real sound and hundreds of thousands on gear to alter the sound to the producer's taste. Ask anyone who actually worked in recording studios. There are exceptions of course - M... | |
| Little Dot mkIV tube upgrade The Black Sable tubes at Tube Depot made a marked improvement in my Pro-ject Tube Box 2 phono preamp. You might give them a try. | |
| speakers with active bass It makes sense, but I think there is a resistance to it from a sheer marketing standpoint. | |
| Tecnics 1200G platter cleaning Good question. Without knowing more, I would just use a damp microfiber towel, rung out as far as it could go. You don't want to use any chemicals that could stain the finish. I don't know why the platter is getting dirty. Dusty perhaps, but d... | |
| speakers with active bass Because audiophiles generally hate the idea of amplifiers in the speakers that they cannot select themselves. | |
| Replacement Linn LP12 mat I tried the ringmat, cork mat, speed mat, Herbies mat and always went back to the felt. |
