| Help with Hydra Power Conditioner I currently live in an apartment so re-wiring the building is out. I would imagine that this also adds to the garbage in the power system of the building as there are a lot of appliances going at all times, etc. Thanks for your feedback, Dave. | |
| Just got my Nak Dragon - Wow I have a Nakamichi DR-1, not up to the Dragon but a fine deck. I think it is a great addition to my system in the ability to record my favorite vinyl that I play more frequently for some easy play back. I would love to have a Dragon, and perhaps s... | |
| Dyanaudio Audience 50 MKII.....need advise I have a pair of 52SE's, which I love, and I have tried them straight and toed in. I find the speakers dissapear much better with a slight toe in. I did audition a pair of Focal Micro Utopia's in the same room and position and they really liked be... | |
| new vs. used vinyl, pops and clicks. I think that you are getting a wonderful settup, the TT and cartridge are both tops. I have a VPI HW19Jr with a Dynavector 10X5 and was very happy. I then added a VPI 16.5 and I am still in shock as to the improvement the RCM made. I have used AI ... | |
| Dali 1.7 or dynaudio 52 se I am sorry that I cannot give you any opinion on the Dali, I have not heard them. I have heard and purchased a pair of 52SE in january of this year. I am pleased beyond my expectations. Very warm, wonderful bass and very fast and articulate. Very ... | |
| TDK SA-X or Maxell XLII-S which is best? I find both tapes to be very similar, though if pressed I usually choose the Maxell XLII-S as I think that the case is a little nicer. I also find that it is much easier to still get the Maxell tapes than the better TDK items. I still do a bit of ... | |
| Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500 I am a big fan of my Dynaudio 52SE speakers. I listen to Jazz, pop, classical in that order. Very warm, detailed and expansive. I also recently heard a pair of Naim n-sat on naim stands and the whole group was very surprised and pleased by the sound. | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... I listen to vinyl about 70% of the time and have resisted upgrading my digital source because of all of the possible new formats and my feeling that none will be as good as vinyl. I was however very surprised after auditioning a Balanced Audio CD ... | |
| Question about Bach/Starker There is a noticable presence of the recording studio in the records, I think that it is also present in the original. Perhaps the subwoofer enhances this a bit out of the norm for the recording. Try adjusting the subwoofer as this may be coloring... | |
| Getting and keeping records clean................ I have been hand cleaning my records for the past six months and really felt very happy with the results. It was time consuming but a series of cleans with various sollutions and most were very quiet. Last weekend I purchased a VPI 16.5 and with t... | |
| Turntable height I really don't think that it really matters how high your turntable is unless your playing some Frank Zappa. | |
| Cleaning Cassette Decks Is it ok to use the alcohol on the rollers? I would think that it would cause some early drying and hardening. | |
| Who sells outer LP jacket slip-covers? I just go a hundred from music direct, the 4mil, and they are very nice. I will be getting enough for my whole collection. Can't imagine needing more than the 4mil. | |
| How Long do LP's last Thanks guys, this information just about brings me to tears with joy. I would also welcome any ideas on where to get more vinyl. Lets see, if I can gather a 1,000 LP's and play each a 1,000 times I could listen to vinyl for the next 114 years if I... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? I am sorry if this was covered in previous post's, I don't have time to read them all. I had some similar, though milder, issues until I did a few things. I got a stylus gauge and reset my cartridge, I was surprised how far off it was. I then used... |
