| Level the floor I would concentrate on the audio rack holding the CD/TT. Do you have enough adjustment in the front back spikes? What type of floor surface? DeKay | |
| Removing grill on Altec Magnificents Look to remove a strip of wood located @ the bottom of the cab/grill. If you are able to slide out the grill without damaging it consider yourself lucky. DeKay | |
| Duke, Cats and Curtain Liners Consider yourself lucky. Our cats love to hear me sing... -Pink pig nose, Pink pig nose -Pink-Pink pig-pig nose However, they have absolutely zero interest in listening to music. DeKay | |

| Blueroom/Scandyna Minipods Buy them online from another country. If these are like the early 2000's version they sound very similar to the old NHT Super One speaker of the same era (listened to both in the same room). DeKay | |
| First Tube amp suggestions The Black Ice FX10 looks like a good/budget bet (heard the Jolida version years ago). The "SET " designation for the Sophia push/pull EL34 amp mentioned stood for Sophia Electric Technology (or something like that) and had nothing to do with "Sin... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights I've been using a DIY 8 ounce weight (Thorens TD125 MkII) for 20 years without any noticeable decline in sound quality (the deck/bearing seem to be fine). I tried a few heavier (some much heavier) commercial weights, but did not care for the soun... | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? My first "music player" was a Tiny Tim crystal radio (around 1959). In 1960 (neighbor's Halloween party) I listened to a single Klipsch K-Horn, Garrard or Thorens TT (unknown amp/preamp) and it blew away the Tiny Tim (my jaw dropped to the floor)... | |

| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? PS: It's nice to be posting again. Spent the past 4 days posting to MuletsGalore on the D-WEB, and was running out of Mullet Dozens. DeKay | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? It took me 4 days to figure out "how" to verify a phone # and start posting again. I have 2 land lines that the system would not accept, but finally tried a $20 burner phone (carry it for emergency calls) and it worked. I was unable to contact A... | |
| Please recommend decoupling footers for DAC The EAR footers are still available @ Parts Connexion. They worked well on components heavier than the Bel Canto DAC (which only weighed 4 pounds). https://www.partsconnexion.com/ear-isolation-devices-feet.html DeKay | |
| Please recommend decoupling footers for DAC I ended up using nail buffer blocks under a Bel Canto DAC 1. I previously tried Mapleshade brass cones, Racing cones (forget the manufacturer), Vibropods and soft EAR footers. I borrowed the nail buffers from my wife. https://www.amazon.com/Nat... |
