| Your "Budget Cable" recommendations, please...... Dan: Whatever you try, I would focus the search on cables with a reputation for deep bass response (as well as sounding nice throughout the rest of the spectrum of course:-). Even if they have full but "somewhat" loose bass they may still work fin... | |
| Help pick opening song for my film OK Here goes:1. "Smokin in the Boys Room", no particular reason.2. "Patches", if the girl drowns and is found floating.3. "Cherry Pink & Apple Blossum White", stupid love song.4. "In the Navy", if the guy turns out to be Gay.5. "Anything by Ho... | |
| I need your expert advise Tacs: I am pretty certain that Natalie is referring to upgrading the CD player. Sorry, but suggesting that one limit their musical library by the quality of the recordings seems a bit ludicrous to me.Boski: I would upgrade the player first (to som... | |
| component order on a rack? I place the CD player directly below the TT (which is on the top shelf). The reason being that it is easier then to place software in/on either and this reduces the risk of damaging precious CD/LP's. The preamp controls require less finesse and th... | |
| 78's through the system Probably not much help, but I decided against adding 78 playback to the main system as it would be too expensive as well as a hassle. Instead I decided to pick up either a vintage or new "all in one player" with a small footprint so that it can be... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Were these the old threads which contained posts by "The Doctor"? If so, they were an "obvious" hoot and did much more damage than good to the product's image. Hopefully those involved in that one have learned their lesson. Also agreed that Bruce'... | |
| Non Audiophiles are funny people I find NA's to be dumfounded by the amount (abundance) of software, which is something that they can relate to. Most people only have enough LP's/CD's/tapes to fit a particular rack and/or bookshelf and do not go much beyond this restriction. They... | |
| speaker cable; what to do? George: Why not try 30' runs of the MIT T2 cable from Audio Advisor (I will never deal with them again after three transactions, but many have had good dealings with them). They should run about half your budget and are returnable within 30 days i... | |
| speaker cable; what to do? Hi George: Any way possible to shorten the speaker cable runs (considerably) without increasing the IC length (@ all and/or very little)? This configuration will give you better sound and will also make it much less painful to invest in better spe... | |
| Isolation Sand Boxes Er uhm, I'm not certain. Do you think that it may have something to do with the "tiny" little shovel and pail? | |
| OK - now total confusion has set in Doc: Some of this vibration is generated by the components themselves (even those which do not seem to have any moving parts). Another major source of vibration is the music itself. Allowing the gear (cables included) to sing along with the music ... | |
| Any funny audiofile stories??? Ernie: To hide their "things"? | |
| Any funny audiofile stories??? Kind of funny now that I look back: I was sitting down soldering, in the nude, a few months ago and... (well, you can fill in the rest). My wife thought that I was having either some type of seizure and/or heart attack when I jumped up from the ta... | |
| tubes for audible illusions mod 3 Monk: I retubed a friend's 3A with the 7dj8/PCC88's (Siemens), but substituted old production Soviet 6922's from ATSI in the phono section. Maybe it was your post that I read over @ AA on this? Anyway, big improvement to the line stage, plus the p... | |
| New gears? Plato: No, it is not proper useage in the US, but it "kits" Vs "kit" perhaps proper? |
