| Any one old enough to remember? Skip: Not familar with the arm (though think that it may have VTA adjustment "on the fly"). If so, I would try it with a new cartridge. I just picked up a TD125 MkII/SME 3009II combo that sounds very nice and if I ever upgrade I will seek out an a... | |
| Is it just me? No, you are not alone. I listen to "Ghost Riders in the Sky" by Miss Peggy Lee @ least once a week. | |
| Cat 5 cables, your experience Truth:Maybe try some solid core Magnet Wire (from Radio Shack) on the short/front speaker runs (26 guage is my favorite and it comes with three guages on a roll for $3.99)? You could try the larger guage as well (some like it). If you do this I fi... | |
| I am pissed Double check the address with the purchaser and resend it ASAP. If your pissed, how do they feel? | |
| best entry phono stage under 150 new or used David: My tweak is that I use two of the Radio Shack units as dual mono's. This requires twice as many rechargable batteries but is a simple way of beefing up the power supply (by asking it to do less work). I also use shorted RCA plugs and ones c... | |
| I need advice on Lowthers You are welcome Doc (and thanks to TWL as well). Please give an update if you try them. I purchased my wife a car today (one that we have been searching years for) and have also been off work for two years, so it looks like I will be putting this ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Excellent news: Thanks "B". | |
| I need advice on Lowthers Doc: If you plan on hanging onto the 3A's and budget is a consideration the Voight Pipes (as TWL mentions) might be a fun project (we discussed these off forum). I will probably use Fostex speakers due to budget. I realize that they (the pipes) ar... | |
| What are the benefits of a SET amp? It depends on the design of the amp and the system, but other than what Jfrech describes above there can be a 3D quality that I have yet to hear from non-SET amps (this includes good push/pull tube designs as well as SS amps running in Class "A". ... | |
| Who here mentioned Nimbus active platforms??? I did not do it. | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? 99% and would guess around $5K (new and used) in the current living room system. It sounded better before I downsized (lost a nice SET amp and a good DAC), but it still makes me happy. I do not concern myself with audiophile quality recordings (th... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit BWhite: Your system looks pretty good to me. Lamm and Syrah (yum yum:-). Albert tried a pair of my OTA IC's, quite some time ago, on a Sony 9000 player and felt that they lacked weight in comparison to his standard IC's. I did not have enough spar... | |
| 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... |
