| Akai 747 w/DBX question barnettk I have a demagnetizer, and the way I did it was as follows: Start about 6 feet out and slowly work my way to the head (without touching it) then slowly work my way back away from the head.That is not the correct way to use a head de-mag... | |
| Help! Power question I think the best place to start is to examine the line your rig is on. Are all of the connections - in the service panel, in the receptacle - clean and tight? If it isn’t a dedicated line, have you checked all of the intermediate connections betwe... | |
| Vinyl Sleeves and Jackets invictus005Ultrasonic cleaning is snake oil and actually makes records sound worse.What US machine have you used that led you to this pronouncement? | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? dwetteClearaudio has several linear arms starting at the ~$4K range. I had thought about getting the TT-5 for my Ovation (to replace the Magnify arm) but opted for their top of the line tangential arm instead, the Universal. The Universal look... | |
| Sony PS-X9 jg2077 I prefer to buy "preowned", as it allows me greater options and no mark up. $13,000 for an old Sony PS-X9 sounds like a helluva markup to me. | |
| Eric Bibb “Global Griot” removed from Tidal due to streaming I would not be surprised to see more issues such as this with streaming services. It’s much the same with cable television, where local broadcasters sometimes get into fee disputes with a cable company, resulting in the loss of that channel for su... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA tomiiv30 ... even if it does I would still be not satisfied with this amp .Why prolong your agony? Why not return it for a refund? | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? dragunskiFM is deadSorry, but that's not even remotely true. AM-FM radio reaches more than 90 percent of the US population. "... more Americans tune to AM/FM radio than any other platform." Details are here. | |
| Akai 747 w/DBX question barnettk I was interested in the DBX mainly to get the bump on dynamic range which also by proxy reduces the noise however like I said the faster recording speed definitely improves things for sure. The Dolby A I think would improve the highs.Do... | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. tobor007 Has anyone heard a demonstration of the Pebbles? Results/opinions?Geoffkait has excellent feedback on the Audiogon Marketplace: Positive1195 Neutral2 Negative0 If nothing else, that would suggest that you wouldn't risk much if you tri... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable nandricThe TT's are not supposed to ''sound'' so if one hears sound differences those should be ascribed to the records.No audio component is completely transparent, and that's especially true with turntables, pickup arms and phono cartridges. Tu... | |
| fm antenna for rural areas theoGet a good old TV antenna. UHF,VHF and FM all work with the same type of antenna. Only drawback is they are somewhat directional.You need to be careful with this. To prevent interference, many television antennas have a trap that filters ou... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio mzkmxcv That’s odd, as every designer Inknow aims for measured excellence. Me too. But of the few that I've spoken with, none believed the specs tell the whole story. You disagree, which is fine. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio mzkmxcv ... if we measure all variables, we can accurately describe what it will (or won’t) sound like.That's an extraordinary claim, and contradicts what many experienced designers of audio components think. Do you have a list of "all variable... | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC itsjustme... there is no problem so long as your transport decrypts the SACD. But that’s the problem - very, very few transports "decrypt" SACD . SACD is a proprietary format, as others have noted here. |
