| Recommendations for satellite/hanging spkrs If he were to use only two Gallo Micros (and a sub) in a "huge" area I doubt that they would fill the room with music (I like these speakers though). The NHT Zero's are better I feel and can sound quite good with a sub, but require a lot of clean ... | |
| DG Recordings Aliu: Perhaps it depends on what other sound engineering feats one compares them to? I have some Audiophile LP's that make mince meat out of my regular LP's regarding sound quality, but what wins in the end is the music and the performance, I woul... | |
| Recommendations for a phono preamp for MMF5 In this price range also consider the Radio Shack 42-2111 battery powered phono preamp (retails for $25, but requires a charger and batteries to be practical). Out of stock @ RS, as far as I know, but an online dealer still sells them from a close... | |
| What are your thoughts of the Tower design of amps I have only seen one of these ("G" something, can't recall the exact name). Though this "upstanding" tube amp was directed/marketed towards the audiophile/budget group (per the press release) the specs seemed to be the same as a previous "horizont... | |
| Removing fine scratches on tt dustcover Here is another product: I have been meaning to pick up another bottle (ours is spent), but just never seem to make it down to the South Bay (below LA). It is: Seapower plastic polish, stock no. SPP-1. The manufacturer's info is: Seapower Marine P... | |
| 7308 tube code question Good question: I only have two out right now (just received them back from a friend) and they are etched VR5, *5D (also 518 on one and 535 on the other, towards the top). The white printing is: USN-CEP 7308, Made in U.S.A., Amperex and (65-35 on o... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Outlier: Ask Brulee. LOL. He replaced FIM with the OTA. | |
| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned Glen: Sounds like a bank screwup to me and hope all works out for both of you. We bank with Washington Mutual in CA and trust me the EE's @ my branch are clueless (including the manager). I worked for a large clearings bank and the Federal Reserve... | |
| 7308 tube code question I also have these tubes and if NOS they will require a minimum of 30-40 hours, or so, of use for the bass to kick in and for them to open up. In gear that runs them easy you may have to double this - plus. Just to say, give them some time. This wa... | |
| Cat 5 cables, your experience I tried a friends in my setup (the full blown CAT 5's) and $3/ft Kimber Kable 4VS sounded quite a bit better as far as balance and general musical enjoyment goes. The 5's exhibited a compressed, uneven quality (lot's of bass, but also lacking deta... | |
| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned Nope: My bank once placed stop payments on two cashier's (in error). They were supposed to be placing them on the two checks that I had misplaced (not the two replacements that they had just issued:-{. Cashier's checks are not a sure thing. By the... | |
| Help with B&O MMC 20 EL cartridge In LA @ the Beverly Hills dealer B&O cartridges are selling @ 50-60% off list per a friend looking to revive a Beo 3000 TT. Might want to check this out. | |
| Beginner in Vinyl - How far should I go? Lenny: If you want great sound on a low budget, then you have to be patient and wait for the good deals to come. I am currently using a Thorens TD125 MkII with an SME 3009 II arm that I purchased used for $219 shipped (Ebay auction). For a good bu... | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 Psychic: Doug told me about his "side" tables quite some time ago and it's a story that has proved impossible to forget. I also have some old Janszen speakers (with electrostatic tweeters) that a local record dealer gave me. I figured that I might... | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 Psychic: I think that Doug (Sedond) came up with a better use for them. He uses them for bedside tables (guess that he also has the original stands). That said, if you can repair them for $150 they should be fun to play around with (this is a hobb... |
