| Protecting Equipment from ESD Damage ghd: Same here... Bare feet or worn out Chuck Taylor's as slippers. Ditched a nice pair of pressed boiled wool slippers due to static. Humidity can drop to 20% here when we are experiencing high/low desert/Santa Ana winds. Fortunately we usua... | |
| Do you spend more time analyzing the sound of your system, worrying it could be better? Once a system is thoughtfully put together, dialed in, used for a length of time and sounds good for what it is - no. Aside from tubes/styli I have not made any changes to my main setup in over a decade (I like it as is). I recently (5+ weeks ag... | |
| Revox A77 mk2 Have you searched @ tapeheads.net (regarding the correct grease)? DeKay | |
| Celestion SL600 Expertise Needed Here's a link to part of what you would need to DIY the jumpers (these along with 2 pairs of regular solder-less bananas and some cable/wire will do). https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Carbonate-Insulated-Thumbscrew/dp/B00O3NTB28 D... | |
| Need some help- Speaker choice for Schiit Aegir+ Freya+ To search for used speakers try hifishark.com. They gather ads/auctions from various sites (including Audiogon). DeKay | |
| Celestion SL600 Expertise Needed PS: Jump red to red and black to black. Cool speakers. DeKay | |
| Celestion SL600 Expertise Needed You will need to use jumpers (see following link for pics) or use bi-wire speaker cables. Another option would be to open them up and "jump" the wiring internally. https://www.hifi4sale.net/t80984-celestion-sl600si-speakersusedsold De... | |
| New York Times article on Charo I met her @ her husband's restaurant years ago. Used to collect Cugat's art work, but now only have 2 serigraphs and 1 original (Golda Meir holding a missile/bomb) left. Was always aware of her musicianship (may have seen her play on television ... | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever Glad it worked out for you... I tried ordering anvils and TNT from Acme, but they won't ship them to a California address. DeKay | |
| Amplifier for desktop near field system Good amp plus an outboard DAC. Good amps stand the test of time (DAC's perhaps not so much). As the new version of the P3 is reviewed as being more detailed/brighter than the earlier version I listened to you might consider the new HEED that ret... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? OT, but since it was brought up by the OP in the "printing money" reference - can anyone name a currency currently based upon what is universally known as the "Gold Standard"? I can’t think of one (even going back a decade, or more, ago), but I’m... | |

| When did you get hooked? Mono system with K-Horn/Garrard TT around 1960. The amp was a Heathkit W5M (confirmed some 35 years later when a friend found one @ a local thrift). Don't recall the preamp/R2R deck brands. A couple years later the system (neighbor across the s... | |
| Best unplugged live Not live I think, but half of "Giant Step" by Taj Mahal is acoustic. Great double LP. DeKay | |
| Braun Audio. Dieter Rams Designer Elliott: I had Braun L200/L300 speakers (Germany) in the mid/late 70's and similar/same models were soon released by ADS in the USA. Never compared the two 200/300 models (Braun/ADS) in my home system, but in other's they sounded pretty much the... |
