| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? Very interesting. I just left a message @ a local dealer to check the price. I would like to use this as a tool to Beta test some PC's that I am currently breaking in. Might be fun to use it with both my personal cables and the test batch to see i... | |
| European -vs- US high-end Oh NO!!! Now I am hearing the song from Disney's "It's a Small World" over and over in my head. If only "On the Good Ship Lollipop" would come back an take over again. | |
| Any opinions the 2 best Tony Bennet CD ? The "Unplugged" is very nice for his later stuff and I will have to "dig" for another winner as I cannot recall the title. | |
| European -vs- US high-end Are you referring to the owner's or the equipment? I see no difference as "music is music" and "ears are ears". The only difference between Europe/Asia and the US is the power supply, the average room area and the humidity (though there are many l... | |
| Zones and remote control questions Radio Shack sells a repeater/relay kit for $70 or so. They private label theirs and the original brand is less expensive (can't remember the brand name off hand, but have seen them on Ebay). | |
| Thorens 125 MkII: MM or MC cartridge? What's diff? Steve: Yes it is the platter mat. The last time I researched the Linn mat it was around $80 (which may have been @ a discount). Perhaps the members here have a source for a less expensive (but just as good) felt mat? Also research TT IC's as it se... | |
| Thorens 125 MkII: MM or MC cartridge? What's diff? Steve: You probably have a version of the 3009 arm, or if you are lucky a 3012 (12"). The Sure "V" that you have should sound very nice, on either, if it is in good shape. Might be best (as mentioned above) to just replace the stylus (if this is e... | |
| RCA plugs that don't fit. Good point and I agree with HDM (the Bee Man:-) on this point. I did not find this out until I "forgot" to tighten a pair of HT Truthlink IC's in the midst of some cable swaps (they sounded much better somewhat loose). Natural instinct is to tight... | |
| Turntable suggestions? I use an old Thorens TD165 right now, but would only consider upgrading to a deck/arm combo which has VTA that is adjustable "on the fly". Having adjusted the VTA on my arm and cartridge (which is a PITA) for some older mono and Shaded Dog stereo ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit BWhite: What are the longest cable runs that you are using (to other than ambient speakers)? I should have tried longer runs (in the beginning before cutting up the cable) to see how they sounded, but did not think of it @ the time. Also, are you ... | |
| RCA plugs that don't fit. Perhaps shrink wrap or the cable's insulation is blocking the full movement of the outer part of the RCA. I had this happen once on a Mapleshade IC (the plastic insulation was in the way). | |
| Caught in a squeeze Jeff: I have always used photos on my A'Gon ads. I am on AOL and just place the web address of the photo in the supplied A'Gon link area. Has this feature changed? I have been unable to place photos in posts though. | |
| Average age of audiophiles I'm 47 (would be 48 but I was sick a year:-). Started seriously when I was around 16. | |
| What does "B-Stock" mean? It means that the little guys on K-Mex (dressed up in the bee costumes) have partied with this particular piece of equipment. They go through a lot of gear. | |
| Turntable suggestions? There were many different models of Rek-O-Kuts. the high ticket ones are the models that have a cutting/recording lathe (as the name implies) as well as a standard arm, but I suspect that these are purchased mainly for their history, not their sou... |
