Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage
Bob BundusRecord out to the X-10? And then "monitor" through the tape loop?This will still require 2 sets of cables to the buffer but I guess just one coming off the SCD-1 which is better in your opinion?This should also make for some easy and int...

Good treatment for a scary movie? 
Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage
So I ordered the X-10 from amusicdirect.com and blew $50 bucks on shipping so I could have it in time for the weekend.My first reaction is: WOW.Frankly I was very skeptical and thought I might just check it out and shamelessly send it right back i...

Jea48That's it! ....the exact text which inspired this post. I was just working from memory as my LPs have been in storage for 12 years. 
Review: Yamaha PX-3 Turntable
newbeatgood luck -- a very cool turntableAs I recall, there is not much to do on the set up side.Check the physical level of the turntable obviously.Otherwise I think the only adjusments would be tracking force and overhang on the cartridge?If you... 
Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage
My system is getting closer and closer to nirvana, spoiled only by a slightly fatiguing high end which I usually suspect is the CD player.Is anyone willing to place a bet on what this would or would not do in between my SCD-1 and ARC SP-11 Mk II p...

HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music

Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak?
HermanExcellent post!TvadAt the risk of oversimplifying things here:If ONE speaker has + and - (it's polarity) reversed, then the system will be "out of phase".And no offense , but no self respecting audiophile should need a test disc to hear this... 
Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak?
Tvad and othersDidnt know it was called "absolute phase" - this is what was recommended on the first edition Dave Grusin vinyl.So I guess the answer is like biwiring: it depends?! 
Long Wall Speaker Placement: Pros and Cons?
Unsound and othersI finally got everything moved to the long wall yesterday.Good news -- even before dialing the panels into tweaked position, I can tell it is going to sound just fine and probably even better. This is a real news flash for me aft... 
HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music
Ah....Lord of the Rings. Have not seen it or listened to the "dynamic score".But funny coincidence. Sorry to drop a name, but I have just returned from a dinner where I sat across the table from Howard Shore. I was not familiar with his work on Lo... 
Long Wall Speaker Placement: Pros and Cons?
Mikesinger and othersI need to read the audio physic text again on placement.It all seems very interesting, but would you say it is not appropriate for dipoles?
