| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II No idea, sorry. Just used the brass weight that was in Jean's kit, and I can't remove it easily now that the TT is back in place. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Oh, there's an improvement all right. I'm still getting a handle on it in my own system via several cartridge swaps, after installing the kit a few days ago. Main areas of improvement I've noticed are clarity/openness and dynamics and ESPECIALLY o... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Won't work, Lew. Unless the hole is precisely positioned per Jean's template, the thread will run into stuff and the weight will not have space in which to move up and down. | |
| If you have a line conditioner, does noise matter? I wouldn't be too sure. My understanding is that only the "power regenerators" such as those by PS Audio actually do the job that your friend needs done. I could be wrong. | |
| Best 845 tube out there? You apparently didn't see my follow-up post to the one you quoted. | |
| Interconnects--How Important is a Tight RCA Fit? The important thing to me is that the center pin is gripped tightly enough to make secure contact. If it isn't, you can't make it work better by tightening the outer portion. If the center pin is split, you can make it tighter by running an x-acto... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II But they still have to pay for the kit itself, right? | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Clarification please, Johnwdt. You say the tweak is FREE. How can that be? | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Pavane 845-T tube? I've had a pair for approximately 3 months and have nothing but praise for them. They replaced "Holy Grail" metal plate 845Ws, which I don't miss at all. Dave | |
| Best preamp for 2k-3k Used Aesthetix Calypsos can be had for well under $3K. Hard to beat, IMHO. | |
| Troubles with Sound-Smith return communications? Never had a communication or other problem with them and they've done multiple retips for me. | |
| Count Basie "88 Basie Street Hard to go wrong with Basie. You might try "Chairman of the Board" if you can find it, but all the ones on Roulette and Pablo are pretty great, not to mention his early stuff on Columbia and other labels. | |
| My Oppo hums Oppo has excellent customer service, IME. Call or email them. | |
| Mosfet mist? I thought Sam Tellig (Stereophile) came up with it and has since said that improved mosfets no longer display it, or something like that. | |
| system has weak bass. any suggestions as to why? Have you always lacked bass with this system or is this something new? If the answer is "always," I'd suggest that going direct from the Oppo to the power amp might be the issue. Some CD players (my Raysonic CD128 for example) do not take kindly t... |
