| phono stage options for Lyra Cartridges If you think you might want to use mono cart in future by getting another tube (say if you have number of jazz or classical LP's from 50's/60's) hard to beat the value of PS GCPH.You can get cheap up front and then get PCX mods from Underwood Wall... | |
| What speaker would be good for Krell rack? Got my friend a CS7 match with his Mac rig.Sounded OK but they are massive and a bitch to haul around with thick concrete baffles.The 7 is not as good as 7.2 which has drivers ion house.Again haven't heard the newer Thiel's but the one I thought w... | |
| Help create my Mac Music Server How about using two 500 or 1 TB drives with acronic digital imaging software to not have problem when you replace down drive.Software costs $50 and would be cheaper than NAS with Raid.?CheersChazz | |
| Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space? Cnet has list of MP3 players that play FLAC.Highend seems to me Cowon and good buy is Sansa though video display is not up to snuff you can add micro SD cards and all are cheaper for what they do then Apple.Cowon really is head to head with more e... | |
| how far do you sit from your speakers? Some speakers work for near field better than others.I only had them for short time but a pair of Audio physic Sparks were fun since they were narrow florstanders easy to pull up away from wall and then put back.Those "near field" sessions gave up... | |
| What speaker would be good for Krell rack? ThanksI know I like a bright sound but I sold Krell from '96 to 2001 and installed the Class A or A/B stuff a few times with Thiel and it's enough to cut glass.Even with softening cable like Cardas mids with Krell are always a tad metallic and etc... | |
| PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions As Salamon say's it depends on your amp.Underwood wally said optimal would be a MC at .4 Mv or more which leaves a lot of choices out.My buddy uses his with a .23 Dyna and needs to use front volume in addition to max rear gain setting.Seems well b... | |
| Is Phase and polarity the same thing? TBGRead your last post to the phase question.It makes sense what you say that phase would be both speakers IN PHASE that is each going out at same time together.But on sub they have 180 degree polarity knob so why wouldn't that be called phase?And... | |
| Benefits of a record ring StingreeIs yours a VPI or a ring needing to be centered?Like I said "ask the man that owns one" but this was some bits I picked up here and other forums.One thing I didn't mention was they are absurdly priced for what material and milling goes int... | |
| Benefits of a record ring They work if you have minor long warp but like those overpriced "flattening machines" don't expect tight warps to be helped.I haven't tried a clamp but from what I read it would be last thing I'd get from VPI who make a good one.Yes if you use a c... | |
| More reports-How many corrupted CD-R's with time? ChashmalYour right there.Crystalline metal that is meant to be "altered" (burning right?).If you go to a kid in the know at a best buy they will tell you no video on optical discs or DV will last as long as best tape formats which are stored in co... | |
| Is Phase and polarity the same thing? Srajan did a nice bit on this.I have seen many pre's with phase control but not polarity.Even Wayne Dockery did a VTL 2.5 and said they were same thing.Chazzhttp://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/polarity/polarity.html | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? Anybody bought any really pricey Linn downloads.They have Carrol Kidd whose a great jazz vocalist.Chazz | |
