| Battery powered DAC Fran:I doubt if I could ave Ack'd any better (it was a damned good Ack, if there is such a thing), with both me neck and me lower back as well supported as they could be considering the circumstances.Cut me some slack. | |
| Battery powered DAC Good?I ate acking, thought everyone did. | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now The best value in table wine (currently available) is probably the Cab and Chard on the Charles Shaw label ($2-$5/bottle depending on the retailer). The ex-wine buyer, for a company I no longer work for, helped to develop the current bottlings/off... | |
| Battery powered DAC Psychic:I Acked last night, but I'll spare you the details. | |
| What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes Abe:If you are just looking to seal the ends and the solder joints pick up a small bottle of Q-Dope @ an electronics shop. A 3" tall bottle should be under $3. It's a liquid "poly" plastic, I think (can't find my bottle to confirm type).I use elec... | |
| RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ? While we are @ it are there any brands of tape that are considered to be of higher quality?Good sources for pre-recorded tapes (LA area) are the county library book sales. Though they have not been rotated many look to have never been checked out ... | |
| RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ? Dennis:5-10 years makes DAT comparable to CDR's (based on what I have read to date).For archival purposes I would guess that the LP is first (by a long shot) and then is followed by quality magnetic tape (based on sane but still non commercial sto... | |
| RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ? Hi Dennis:Reel to reel "can" end up being an expensive venture, but it's cool looking and sounds great if done correctly. For quality sound you need to record @ high speed, which uses up lots of tape.Another consideration is either finding the dec... | |
| What LP shows what analog can do? I have not read the above responses (maybe this was already mentioned), but most any decent 45 rpm LP should do the trick, just find one with music you enjoy.I have to increase anti-skaing a notch when I play them, but as my A-S is a hang weight o... | |
| hardwood floors and spikes Meech & Herman:Yes, sharp spikes will go through pennies (often within a matter of a few months).A friend of mine ended up using the pop out slugs from electrical boxes which were scattered throughout the house following a re-wire (two per spi... | |
| Which cables go with what????? Abe:Hmm, gender VS attractiveness is generally not an issue with heterosexual men/women (rolling of the eyes).I think the photos viewed were from a Hifi show (can't remember the event off hand).Anyway, I was just kidding about "it" bugging me. | |
| Which cables go with what????? RCH:Regardless of what/any intent Steve had in regard to starting this thread, I will say that his premise is an odd one (this not being the first time he has wierded me out, nor hopefully will it be the last).I can't imagine seriously discussing ... | |
| 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 ... |
