| Technics SL-1200MKII and AT-440MLa, very good Please report back! When I DJ'd, my 1200's were builtproof. .7 seconds to spin up speed and rock solid speed accuracy.I was thinking about getting another 1200 from KAB(external powersupply, and some other mods) with the Origin Live Rega Armboard ... | |
| Adjusting tubes for bias and other tube hassles Lots of tube preamps don't require manual biasing. If a tube gets noisy switch sides to determine which tube is noisy, and then replace.Also typically you should warm up tube amps about 30 minutes before biasing.Lamm recommends a Fluke meters (Spe... | |
| 16 FOOT WIDE Movie Screen at home help please Ckorody: I have to agree that I put my PS Audio Powerplant on my Projector and was amazed as the difference a regenerator made with blacklevel and detail. Noise completely disappeared. I am now going to upgrade to one of the newer Regenerators tha... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session Regalmal: I couldn't agree more, my Merlin with 9speed durace doesn't really need anything except those Zero Gravity Brakes would cut 1/3 lb off my bike..Ooohhh Dreamy light! | |
| 16 FOOT WIDE Movie Screen at home help please Ckorody: Well stated..Another option since you have a 4:3 projector is to us an anamorphic lens which will increase light out put by using the full panel for 16:9 content.http://www.projectorcentral.com/anamorphic_lenses.htmhttp://www.panamorph.co... | |
| 16 FOOT WIDE Movie Screen at home help please Mitch4t: Congrats on the setup for going big, but I would recommend posting this on www.avsforum.com They will definitely be able to provide a ton more information. Another thing that will help is painting the ceiling flat black from the projector... | |
| Kappa 9. Parasound HCA-3500 WILL NOT power them Btstrg: Kappa's are know at for killing equipment like Apogee speakers... they present a basic short to amplifiers and hence require amplifiers that can produce huge current at .8ohm-1ohm loads.. Very few amplifiers can do this for a sustained per... | |
| if Sony had been around earlier - format wars SONY SUCKS! They only developed SACD with a dual layer because their 25 year patent expired and they were getting royalties from every CD ever produced by any company (billions in revenue$$). Yes it is technologically superior, but they made the h... | |
| VTL Tube amps power Switch the amp to Triode mode and enjoy a calming bliss, if it doesn't have the switch talk to VTL about a mod.This will still not let you run with tubes removed.. I would agree with Rilte804: Bad Idea! | |
| Kappa 9. Parasound HCA-3500 WILL NOT power them Actually the Kappa's are know to dip under 1ohms, and if I remember correctly Threshold, Krell, etc or any other Apogee style amp ( you could look at the H20 digital amps that apogee owners get) Adcom 565's were modified to remove the protection c... | |
| Sonos turns your house into an ipod John_ops: I completely agree about the convience thing.. even if my universal Player is better I prefer the convience of my Squeezebox immediate access to music. I should also describe how I use my modified squeezebox which I find advantagous. Sin... | |
| Sonos turns your house into an ipod John_ops: I stand corrected on audiocircle, and now you have me obsessing over where those threads were... I bought the SB2 over 1.5 years ago because of what people said. I found one of my original links to a review stating the Sonos didn't have ... | |
| Recommendation Amp for MGIIIa MrTennis: MGIIIa's are 84dB and the Macintosh amp doesn't have the dynamics (I know they have autoformers and such but they still sound flat on MG's). The Wolcotts are designed to drive impossible loads for planars, and VTL300's should be a minimu... | |
| Accuphase CD players versus Naim CD players Vilg,Make sure you don't buy a greymarket (if it was not bought from a US dealer originally) Accuphase as you will not be able to get it serviced!! I'm not a dealer but I was looking at buying accuphase products a couple years ago and this was a h... | |
| Sonos turns your house into an ipod If you do your searches on Audiocircle you will find that no one mods the Sonos and that the squeezeboxes sound better out the digital output. I run my Squeezebox into a 10k DAC and I am quite amazed at the quality. It did require a Bolder Modifie... |
