| Is there such a thing as a good analogue turntable There are also some simple add on gizmos that will lift the arm @ the end of play (on manual TT's) but the platter keeps spinning. All of the mechanics are contained in the "add on" and they usually just "stick" to the top of the TT and require no... | |
| budget cleaning ideas for garage sale records? Guycom: You can make a simple cleaning mixture/solution using 91% Azeotropic Isopropyl alcohol and water. I use 9 parts distilled water to 1 part alcohal, but some prefer using twice this amount (20% alcohal in the solution). Other things can be a... | |
| Name that cable.... Don't know about the model with Ferrite beads, but the top of the line model with Diamonds is called the "Hope PC". It comes with a lifetime insurance policy issued by LLoyd's of London, though as far as I gather most of the owner's have not lived... | |
| turntable madness KT 88: The batteries last 5 days (when using two of the preamps as dual monos). I have 4 batteries and recharge one pair while using the other pair. There have recently been some people @ AA who have not had decent results with the preamps (though... | |
| What would you do? I would just pay the $9, if this is the upcharge for COD as this is your expense if shipping was to be paid by the buyer. Many people do not have accounts with Paypal. We have one, but I only use it to purchase and never receive payments through i... | |
| Oil caps-any advise on sonics? South: Check out the tube and DIY forums @ AA. There is a new cap (maybe a new AN) which I recently read about that some people now favor over the Jensen's (I assume that it is also smooth sounding). There is also tons of info on other caps. I jus... | |
| Would a Fabric Room Divider Interfere with sound? Hi Angela: I tried something similar in the past (just two channel, not HT) with my old Ls3/5a'a and the subs. It did not sound right to me (mainly in the HF's). I used finished silk stretched on (1" x 1") panel frames and can't imagine that the s... | |
| Wedding Music - Recommendations for Program OK: Here's another one. I just asked my wife what we would have chosen if we would have had a string quartet in the judge's chambers. Together we decided that it would have been a medly of "The Hustle" and "The Love Boat" theme (should be easy to ... | |
| Wedding Music - Recommendations for Program We did not have music @ the ceremony (judge's chambers), but did play music by Vince Guraldi (Peanuts:-) @ the reception. This was our first choice. Don't know how this would translate to a string quartet, but it might be interesting/memorable (it... | |
| Reproduction of acoustic instruments with tube amp Interesting comment on acoustical music (small scale) as this is what any half way decent tube amp does best (this would be the "last" complaint on the list for most). Might be better off if you list your complete system (the one to be used with t... | |
| I turn the big Half-Century today Ernie: How about some Glenn Yarbrough to Lite up your 50th (maybe a little Phil Ochs for the rebel in you as well:-)? Congratulations, I have a couple more years before I join you and will probably just get drunk while eating cooked snails and raw... | |
| entry planar setup Piglet: How about some single driver speakers for the BR? I am researching these for our living room, but a smaller room might be more appropriate. They will have recessed high and low frequencies, but otherwise should get to the heart of the musi... | |
| Cowboy Junkie Fans Scott & Ben: Other than the overall package I enjoy many of their songs as they are (in my mind) through compositions. Songs that are conceived and then finished on kind of a roll. Songs like these do not sound contrived and have a certain flo... | |
| Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average?? Yes Eldragon: and in the same spirit I will retract my absurd statement as well (upon thumbing through some old H&G's I have discovered that "such" speakers will work in a proper Thistle garden after all:-). Anyone care to follow our lead? | |
| Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average?? PS: Though suitable for Ivy stands, don't get the impression that such speakers will work in a proper Thistle garden. |
