| Turntable oil bearing I have been refurbishing an old Thorens TD165 and decided to stick with Singer "sewing machine" oil as a safe bet (not their cheaper all purpose machine oil). Some of the synthetic oils contain Teflon and/or other materials, which has been said ca... | |
| What is the best digital cable? Hmmm: I think that I would probably use a pair of analog cables between a CD player and a receiver (unless the $300 receiver had a built in DAC). No wonder you can't here any difference. The right cord for the right job. | |
| What is the best digital cable? Hi Viggen: I have never had problems with hum and/or RFI with the Mapleshade Double Helix digital cable, so I'm afraid that I have no advice to offer. Oddly enough I am surrounded by radio and TV stations and one would think that this would arise.... | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... I do remember my first purchase of music. It was an orange/red 45 of the theme song from "Cheyenne" the western TV series. I recall listening to it as I worked on my plastic model of the 20 Mule Wagon Team (you got this when you sent in a slew of ... | |
| I've discovered an alternate way . Marakanetz & Frogman: I was kidding in regard to my comments. The joke (to me anyway) stems from a poster that was taped to the refrigerator @ Rudy Studios (owned by Graham Nash) which I frequented during the late 70's as I had access to it th... | |
| I've discovered an alternate way . can't say that I have done this myself. I live in the state of California where the laws are very strict "play an accordian and go to jail", it's that simple. We are however allowed to listen to pre-recorded Bella Ciao music. | |
| What's up with the Rega Planet 2000? Is that you Sam? | |
| What's up with the Rega Planet 2000? Hi Jimmy: Sorry for the "curt" post, I was in a bad mood yesterday. Not being able to audition players is a real drag, as most of them have quite different sounds. My general recommendation in your price range is a used CAL Icon MkII with or witho... | |
| What Does It Take to be an Audiophile? HiWaves: I ran across them in thrift shop (in the Valley North of Hollywood) that I happened into just a few minutes before closing. They usually charge $1 per album, and though it is a charity, I offered $50 for the entire collection, which was t... | |

| What Does It Take to be an Audiophile? Ezmeralda: I just purchased 100+ MHS LP's (mint never played) today for $20 (which means that I have a long way to go:-). | |
| Marantz SA-1 reliability problem Rdr4b: Where do you live in CA? I live in the LA area (West Hollywood) and have not been experiencing any fluctuations in voltage for the past four+ plus months. I am running the computer off of an APC device which sounds an alarm when fluctuation... | |
| What's up with the Rega Planet 2000? Fascinating first post for you at this site. Do you have another player in mind or are you Pro-Planet? | |
| loose tubes Thanks Detlof. No hurry though as I just had my amp spec'd and cleaned and will wait until further maintenance is required before considering changing the tube sockets. The materials used are new to me for this application and I will go to the sit... |
