| pop/snap tuner help I would like to add,the snap/pop was a single incident.The sound was a combination of what a snap/pop would sound like together,a 'snop' maybe? :~)All the tubes and lights in the tuner light up.The indicator tube shows a FM signal when the dial is... | |
| Pink Floyd FINALLY Releases Live At Pompeii As far as music only,how much better can "wish you were here" sound??The JVC XRCD is remarkable and the original vinyl release and digital remasters are not far behind the JVC.How far can you go? :~)Hi Ben! | |
| Pass Labs ALEPH 5 vs ALEPH 2 Save your money.If your speakers are 8ohm and ~ 90dB the aleph-3 is the one to get.The bass is better than most (who havent heard one) think and the soundstage is huge.The inner detail and transparency is top notch.As the reviewer from Stereophile... | |
| New system too bright.Will different cables help ? I agree with Ozfly.MIT tamed the forward upper treble on my Thiels.The Thiels now sound super!Dont get suckered into buying a new amp/speakers etc..many say cables are a bandaid.I say, if they work thats all that matters. | |
| What was your latest LP find?? The only vinyl DCC I ever had a problem with was'the best of the eagles' I felt it was so warm and laid back sounding there was a moderate roll off of HF and lack of detail.Anyone agree? | |
| Classic Rock Fans? All the music above is still some of my most played classic rock.Lets not forget Fleetwood Mac,esp.Stevie at her best! Right Tom? :~)Blue Oyster Cult,Wishbone Ash,Mott,Moody Blues..the list is endless! | |
| OK, I said it... p.s. if you cant get a LP to sound quiet IMO its defective from abuse from the previous owner,even if it looks good.Their stylus may have been damaged.New Lp's are a different story,try to get a refund if it sounds like crap (slappy?)Guys,when are... | |
| OK, I said it... Pbb-Clean,clean,clean those LP's! Gruv-glide will help as well and allow the music to sound smoother and more transparent.Im am a true believer in a good wet -vac machine.I spent a good amount of change on a Japanese Sgt.Pepper.This LP was as new ... | |
| What was your latest LP find?? Tim- Sorry to hear of your bad experience.Go through the dispute process.I'll be rooting for you!I only lost $10.00 I knew the LP wasnt in near mint shape but as I wrote before I didnt want to spend much for this particular LP.Still,a VG++ rating ... | |
| What was your latest LP find?? Ron-This is an LP I only "kind of wanted".A mint minus copy of this title usually fetches more than I am/was willing to spend.In my opinion, VG++ should at least offer a mostly quiet surface with a decent looking cover(and lower cost)No biggie.Its... | |
| What was your latest LP find?? Hey Doc! Good to see ya here! My latest LP showed up by mail yesterday.A Megaforce copy of Metallica "Ride The Lightning"This was rated VG++ VG++ in the auction from a seller with outstanding feedback.Its unlistenable! Several deep scratches,hundr... | |
| Best Find Ever??? Tlopes- That chip you found belonged to me.Please e-mail me so we can work out the details.David99 aka 'The Boss' | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and Magneplanar 1.6QR the input tubes of a ST-70 are 7199's | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? I'd like to see the results of the disputes that many of us participate in.I think this site is by far the easiest to navigate.I still cant figure the Asylum out! | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and Magneplanar 1.6QR By gain do you mean volume?I got more volume out of my old dyan-70 by getting rid of the lamp cord power 'cable' and hard wiring a 14 gauge cord with a heavy duty plug.No doubt,it played louder.Also,make sure your output tubes are good and dont ha... |
