| Heavy Metal Anyone? A well kept music industry secret is that 99% of the great "recorded" heavy metal guitar licks were performed in studio by George Gobel.February 24, 1991 is the day that Heavy Metal died (RIP George Gobel).DeKay | |
| Chemically Altered Audio Come to think of it I recall that "Dr. Audio" either endorsed or sold a Virtual Dynamics product.Is that so Geoff, or is my memory off?Fascinating that Dr. Audio may still be grifting.DeKay | |
| Chemically Altered Audio Wow:The OP reminds me (a lot) of Dr. Audio, for those who recall that episode in A'Gon's history.Aside from preferring English Leather to Canoe I'm with Geoff on this one.DeKay | |
| Excellent sounding cd/sacd players on the used market. Hi Jim:Maybe a new production dedicated transport + a DAC of your choice?The Audiolab 6000CDT seems to be the going bargain @ $550.The last "musical" CD deck I listened to (2012-2013) was the Teac PD-600 which retailed for around $1K @ the time.I ... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Poko:Thanks, enjoyed it.I spent a day (late 70's) listening to everything Coltrane @ a friends house and during one song we both said "what the F was that" @ the same time.DeKay | |

| Help for Linn Isobarik speakers I think that Falcon (the people who make a modern Ls3/5a) may have re-pops depending on which Isobarik tweeter version you have.DeKay | |
| The equalizer you don't know you have OK, but...I do not use crossovers in my main system (EQ is achieved by the speaker enclosure and its placement in the room).I previously used 2-Way speakers with a crossover and they sounded incredible (Reynaud Twins MKII mated with an Audion Silv... | |

| SME 3009 II Unimporved -- "Thin" Sound Just try shimming/raising the mat to rule out improper VTA for your cartridge.Setting up an arm to be "parallel" with the platter (not taking into consideration the optimum VTA for the cartridge) can be a huge mistake.Note: My SME is NOT parallel... | |
| SME 3009 II Unimporved -- "Thin" Sound Push...What the OP is describing (aside from ideal cartridge loading) is an improperly set VTA.And, once again I suggest the "simple" test I described in my previous post.The Grado cartridge I sometimes use requires that the tail of the cartridge ... | |
| SME 3009 II Unimporved -- "Thin" Sound Try using a thicker mat (or place a thin "import" record under your current mat) and then reset VTF.Doing so will change the VTA of the cartridge (making the tail of the cartridge ride lower).This will not harm anything, and it's easily reversible... | |
| Are vintage DHTs an ephemeral object of desire? Are you changing the cathode resistor when switching from 45 to 2A3?DeKay | |

| How can we hear the difference in cables in a bad room? Probably because a major portion of the sound (with conventional speakers) is direct, assuming that you are facing the speakers.DeKay |
