| The Cable Company - Wow I have a box of 4 different speaker cables enroute to me from the Cable Co. for listening tests. I'll be comparing these against each other and a set that I have on loan from another dealer. Although I have purchased used cables from them before, ... | |
| Why one side is very much louder than the other si Lou, swap the leads at the back of the cartridge. That will tell you if the problem is in the tonearm wiring. This will also indicate if you should suspect the cartridge. If the tonearm wires check out you'll just have to go over all of the settin... | |
| Learning about my room and my sound.. Chadnliz,My room is similar in that one side opens to another room. I have found that I can almost balance this out by using absorption on the wall opposite to this opening. I can do whatever I like since my room is a dedicated finished basement. ... | |
| Any other Nicolette Larson fans out there? For a trip down memory lane, dust off your copy of Neil Young's LP Comes a Time. She's there! | |
| Idiotic Vertical Biamping Question Hi Aggielaw,Yes, monoblocks would be connected so that each block would drive a singe speaker, or channel. This is also how it would "look" if you were to run two amps in bridged mode with each amp acting as a monoblock and running a single speake... | |
| Idiotic Vertical Biamping Question S7horton got it right on the money about sending only one channel to each amp. You either need the y-adapter or two sets of ICs. I also agree with Eldartford about the effects on the power supplies when running the amps in bridged mode. But you ne... | |
| RCA to XLR adapters… It is definitely not worth having a cable made for this. You won't be getting the benefits of the balanced circuit anyway so the slight loss in performance experienced using the adapter will not matter. If you plan on upgrading your CDP with in a ... | |
| Has anyone used the Deluxe Wally Analog Shop? I have not used it, but I have read reports from those who have. Most say that using this device to set azimuth did not significantly improve on the settings that they could obtain by ear. The cable cooker feature is interesting but I don't know i... | |
| It's funny how records are still best. Hi Chuck,I am very curious about hybrids but admit that I don't know much about them. Is this only cd/sacd? In all fairness, Sony is only part of my issue with sacd. I did get burned by the Betamax thing years ago and then there was my brief excur... | |
| It's funny how records are still best. Hi Chuck,I don't have a distaste for digital. I happen to enjoy my CDP very much. In my very humble opinion it is necessary to have both to enjoy all of the music that is available. And there certainly are examples of the ceedee being better than ... | |
| Anyone know the gain of Rogue M-150's? Thanks Herman!Boy am I red faced! Perhaps I should give back my EE degree. | |
| Basis Vector Tonearm Hello Thomasheisig,I have refrained from posting because I cannot give you a comparision of the arm you were intending to seek vs. the Vector. I can tell you only what you may have already heard concerning this arm. That is, if you try the Vector ... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Springbok, buy her an HDTV. It's just like a pacifier and a 1 year old. She'll never bother you again, assuming you can put her in another room than your stereo stuff. | |
| Vector tonearm and static issue? I completely agree with your assessment of the stability of the Basis tables. And the extra mass in the platters and plinths really makes a huge difference in performance. Even the 2001 I used to own seemed to be very tolerant of what it was sitti... | |
| Vector tonearm and static issue? Hi Tubes108,I'm curious to know if you are using the Vector on a Basis table, also is it a Model 3? I have heard that there is a special synergy between the vector arms and the basis tables, but I do hear from time to time from folks who use it on... |
