| RCA cables silver,gold or copper whats better? What's the big deal? You find a cable you like and then look to see what/how it's made. Might surprise folks to find out what they end up with. | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. I'm not into recommending decorations for HT rooms. If you want to have the pleasure of seriously listening to an excellent sounding table that practically has no noise floor, let me know. Otherwise, call a decorator. | |
| Preamp "Snap, Crackle, Pop" It probably just needs new tubes. I would bet that if you contacted Antique Sound Labs they could help you diagnose and find a solution. | |
| CartridgeCompatability:Arm/Amp Most Important? Notice in all of those references linked above that none of them tell you any thing about what will happen in the frequency ranges you can actually hear. That is not to say that the resonant frequency matching should be ignored, but it certainly t... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Many theorize that the differences heard with changing VTA on the fly are due to minute changes in VTF caused by raising and lowering of the pivot point and not due to fractions of a degree changes in the stylus angle. I don't know what is the cor... | |
| RCA cables silver,gold or copper whats better? I'm with 4est. I find mixing helps. I have one cable that is silver-clad solid copper with copper connectors. These have the best HF extension in my system. Another cable is solid silver with copper connectors. These have very similar sound to the... | |
| Conversion of Coax to HDMI Yep, just making sure he is getting what he thinks he is getting. | |
| Running cables under carpet. Any great methods? Yeah, fish tape is the easiest. If this isn't flat wire, which I'm suspecting it is not, you may have to make runs in and out of a corner rather than going straight across the room. Don't want to create a mole tunnel in the middle of the room. | |
| Ground Issue Frepec, did your dealer explain to you why that is very dangerous to do with a power amp? A cheater plug is useful for finding ground issue, but using one in this manner is not a good idea, and my be against code in some places. | |
| Conversion of Coax to HDMI If you look at the diagrams for the devices linked you see that there is still a source, the sat box in this case, feeding all of the monitors that are linked together by the RG-6 cables. What this does is allow you to send the same picture you ar... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? ok, have fun, kids. | |
| Record weights 'n clamps: Audible improvements ? Not always. Most Galibier owners have found any weight smears the presentation with the new graphite platter surfaces. So, YMMV. | |
| Direct Tv music channels ans use in audio system And those are still not 1080. The cameras are, but they down convert to 720. They have been doing this for years for several reasons, and the providers have to add all of those shopping channels to help pay the bills. I would love to have ala cart... | |
| Anyone went back to using bare wires on speakers? No, I prefer the convenience of leaving the connectors on and it would be difficult with the flat speaker cables I use. I do bypass the binding posts at the crossovers by using them to pinch the wire feeding the crossover and the spade connector t... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? Farjamed, I don't doubt that you don't mean to offend anyone. However, just re-read your question and ask yourself if it could have been phrased in a better way. Are you too oldAre you too deafAre you too stupidAre you too poorSee what I mean? I'm... |
