| Make me feel better Well David:You have certainly improved since the time that you used a powered up Aleph 3 for a foot stool and ended up branding a portion of your body.Now you can consider yourself an older/wiser much more delicate/refined "klutz".Feel better? | |
| Talk Me off the Ledge - A cry for help Bundee:Take one of your thinnest LP's and place it on the bare platter. If you use a mat, place it on top of this LP and then try playing one of the problem LP's. This is a quick/dirty way to change VTA.Lowering the rear/tail end of the cartridge ... | |
| Starting a new system... Sorry, no experience here in regard to building a system from the ground up with the listed cables - however I may be able to suggest perhaps a better starting point (different cables to "sprout from") with a tad more info.You might also consider ... | |
| Embarrassing Tube Story Reminds me that I need to have the Tung-Sol 6sn7GT's tested. From what I have read they are more forward sounding then the old RCA/Sylvania 5692's. Might be a good match/nice change if used in combination with the 5692's.I will swing by Armetron w... | |
| Procedure for setting arm for Thorens TD165 Antiskate is adjusted by a hanging weight. If you don't have this item you can make one from a piece of shiny/finished thread (-w- a loop @ one end and a weight of your choice secured @ the other end). The weight should be approx. 5 grams, which i... | |
| Which cables go with what????? I suggest that this thread be deleted due to an overwhelming influence by either the heat, or more likely the economy. | |
| Which cables go with what????? Cornfed:Boring can sometimes be excellent (Henning Mankell novels for example).Now if you will, please do "jaded" (which though never excellent, is often entertaining:-). | |
| Dynaco owners please comment Just a guess, but your 120C may be an upgraded or modified unit (or perhaps a later version). I recall Panor (sp) selling various revised Dynaco models in the past 10 years (tube amps/preamps and something based on the SS 150, I think).I am not fa... | |
| Which cables go with what????? SoGood:"I do expect to someday read a post where the poster has gone out and bought a PC, and now wants to know what system he should build around it, he may get a few answers on it."I never posted, but kind of did this very thing the last time I ... | |
| Which cables go with what????? No such thing as neutral, especially when matching many parts as a whole. There is no known reference as to what a master tape "should" sound like (even a memory of the live event does not qualify due to the recording chain, which does not even co... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Abex: This is 47's new line of cables. As far as I know they are not sold as a kit, but are factory terminated.Where as a single OTA "kit" can often equip two simple stereo systems with IC's and speaker cable, these are quite a bit more expensive ... | |
| Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............ Don't feel bad Ben. I blew off the Beatle's reunion which took place on 04/01/74 @ the K-Mart Mall (Iowa City, IA) because I thought the whole thing to be an April Fool's Day joke. | |
| get vinyl rig or audio aero capital Tom:Yes, why not hook it up in the BR for starters if you have a place to set it?The following is a link to an inexpensive phono preamp that looks interesting (the $300 version offered in the US). Not familar with it myself, just recently ran acro... | |
| get vinyl rig or audio aero capital Hi Tom:No one has mentioned this, but if the 1700 is properly adjusted (and the stylus is in good shape) I doubt that it will do any harm to your LP's.I would just not play it too loudly due to the rumble spec's, which are quite high for a belt dr... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Goerge Gobel, but he's still my all time fave.Who says that you have to get it to get it? |
