| demagnitizing CD s? albert: experimenting with tweaks is a fine form of entertainment among audiophiles. why should anyone waste his money, tho, on tweaks that don't work? i find it quite interesting to hear from those who have actually tried the demag devices their ... | |
| Mega Changers sure, hire a dj to monitor and adjust the volume levels. as an alternative, keep 399 slots unloaded. | |
| demagnitizing CD s? ok, let's assume the aluminum core of a cd has microscopic ferrites in the material. how do such impurities affect the manner by which the disc is read? more importantly, what effect does "demagnitizing" have on these impurities? i don't have the ... | |
| demagnitizing CD s? first thing ya gotta do is buy some cd's with ferrites or other magnetic material to demagnitize. once you've found some of those, post me an email and i'll send you, FREE, the secret code ring you'll need to continue with the process ($49.99, shi... | |
| Gallo Micro? cute and much better sounding than might be expected given their size. plus, they come in lotsa neat colors. i would consider purchasing particularly for rears and sides in an ht system. they also make a matching sub. | |
| Amplifier Stand if you are primarily interested in aesthetics, try pARTicular .they have some gorgeous stuff. billy baggs also showed a new custom amp stand at ces 2001 that is both striking and sonically dead--kinda like a zoethecus on steroids. | |
| vinyl care VPI felt removal i think your solution is ill-advised. the vpi tubes, including the velvet strips, are designed for the hp-16's and 17's. the nitty gritty product is not. i keep an extra vpi tube or two on hand as replacements. last time i bought some, they were o... | |
| spades vs. bananas yes, you should have no bananas.....unless you have "3-way" terminals. then it likely makes no difference. | |
| Jeff Rowland amps, any coments? i've had a jrdg 8ti (upgraded) for >9 years. the only "repair" that's ever been needed is the replacement of bulbs in the power switch. they're built like tanks and last as long as redwoods. well, "redwoods" may be a bit of hyperbole but you ge... | |
| Freak Me Out david: the wimme number is on cd only (tho you might be able to buy vinyl in sweden--get me one if you're there, please). BTW, i agree with nordost that the jerry/david "so what" is a great cd. i don't find it "weird," tho. maybe that's just me? | |
| Help completing vinyl front end. i agree with the advice on new vs. used cartridges but disagree on the tt choice. i've had several vpi 'tables, including the hw-19 ( model II, as i recollect) and the tnt III. IMHO, the comparably-priced basis 'tables are sonically superior to th... | |
| Best speaker a wife would tolerate fortunately, my wife has allowed me to claim our entertainment area as my own. not only did i get to decide on speakers and electronics, i even chose the rock and roll art works, designed the storage cabinets for my lp collection, and picked out a... | |
| Freak Me Out oops! the cd title is spelled "gierran." | |
| Freak Me Out try "gierren" by wimme sarri (northside 6023). wimme combines an ancient scandanavian vocal technique caled "yolk" with electronic sound effects. quite strange but well-recorded (as near as i can tell). | |
| Sound anchor amp stands albert: tho i don't do photography of audio equipment, as you do, i also have collected a whole drawer full of various feet, cones, balls (as in bearings), etc. over the years. maybe we should throw all this stuff together and hold an audiogon gar... |
