5-Pin DIN connector on Thorens Turntable
this is an easy one. all you need is a "pib." sumiko used to havem' available. it comprises a female din connector on a short braided cable that is attached to a little junction box into which you plug the male ends of rca connectors. it also has ... 
Revel VS Avalon
avalon is building a center channel and sub that will mate with symbols. prototypes were on static display at ces 2001 in the muse suite. kevin halverson designed the sub. the center channel proto used the same drivers as the symbol. BTW, i listen... 
Remote control for Turntable?
i agree that this thread is a great troll but if anyone really cares: you can still find airtangent reference tone arms that have remote control of vta adjustment. and, yes, it really does work with records in play. -kelly 
Is Component "Upgradability" Important ?
i think it depends on what you're buying and how much you're spending. for example, i'm replacing my accuphase dc-330 pre/dac with a boulder 1012 pre/dac. both of these components are in the $15k+ msrp class. both are also upgradable. the accuphas... 
accuphase T port dac or CD
yes, i've checked and victor is correct on the dp-70 models. i'd never really seen them here. neither had upsampling and are therefore not the equivalent of the dp-75v or the dc-101. the dp-90 and dc-91 would definitely be superior to either of th... 
accuphase T port dac or CD
somsit: thanks for the additional info. again, there is no dp-70 or 70v, at least in the usa. if the one-box player is a dp-75v, then it has virtually the same oversampling circuity found in the dc-91. the dc-75v, thus, is superior sonicically to ... 
accuphase T port dac or CD
ssomsit: i think you are talking about a one box accuphase cd player, either the dp-65 or dp-75. not sure there was ever a 70 designation in the line. it makes a difference which model number you are comparing, including whether there is a "v" des... 
Impulsive audio purchase
waita minute here. what's impulsive and whataya need to explain to the wife? can anyone here honestly say they've read every book they ever bought cover-to-cover? now before you get all smug on me, remember that you were probably assigned "moby di... 
the BEST garage system you ve ever built
jm labs ultimate utopia, driven by 4 boulder 500 ae's, with an accuphase 75v cdp driven directly (custom multi-channel switch box from cdp to amps)........not really, but it'd be fun to try, if i could figure out how my bride, god love her, might ... 
Fluxbuster info
i have an NOS fluxbuster, still in box, no instructions. i now use an aesthetix demagnatizer but remember how the sumiko device works. if you don't get instuctions from your post, send me a private email and i'll walk you through it. pretty simple... 
hum in system, ground loon? 60hz?
Jfrech: i think ya got it right in the title of your thread. it is a "ground loon" ( runnerup state bird of minnesota, after the mosquito). only thing to do is shoot it. 
Cable maker Mike Schott in Auburn?

Help with Adcom GTP-760 problem?
sdcmpbell: go back and review your second sentence, "....my ex-wife and her husband....." i'd guess it's karma. not likely to go away unless you or your ex are reincarnated as heirs of elizabeth I. -kelly 
What does it all mean Mr. Natural?
if you're a robert crumb fan, you might try one of his recordings. his latest is "les primitifs du futur; world musette." it's on harmonia mundi.to your questions:(1) there are some excellent descriptions of the classes of amps on a recent thread ... 
Survey-What is your most used source?
i'd say that 75% of my waking hours are spent listening to the voices inside my head. the other 25% is devoted to cd's, at least 'til i get my analouge system up and running again. C'MON, THAT'S A LIE. NO IT ISN'T, DON'T LISTEN TO HER. SHUTUP, BUS...
