| Reference 3a mm de capo vs. ProAc Response 2 I can speak to the Response 2 but not the Reference 3A. I replaced a pair of Magnepan III speakers with the ProAcs and my friends considered me nuts. But they sounded MUCH better on tubes (then CJ MV75A1s). And even better on low-watt SET amps des... | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm After seeing the bird in question (thanks, hiho) I too can see why you're not getting a response. You wouldn't get one from me either. Talk about mountains out of molehills. | |
| Power cord..CDP or AMPLIFIER? Elizabeth is right. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have a 2M Black and a V15VxMR SAS (Jico stylus) and they are both splendid carts, as is the third in my current "main" stable, a Soundsmith retipped Denon DL-103. The Shure is the real surprise of the three -- I as amazed at what the Jico SAS st... | |
| Record Cleaning I have exactly the same cleaning regimen and RCM as Learsfool and recommend it highly. Good luck, Dave | |
| Anthony Gallo Reference3: Loose Speaker Globe Come to think of it, I did open one of mine -- years ago -- to tighten the nut on one of the speaker connectors. You do have to be careful not to break any of the speaker wiring down there or mess with the speaker damping material inside the "spin... | |
| Anthony Gallo Reference3: Loose Speaker Globe I'd contact Gallo before doing anything else. I just checked mine, and the back panel is obviously held on by umpteen allen head bolts, but I don't know what's behind it or whether the mid-tweeter assembly is accessible from back there.Good luck a... | |
| Will Magnetic Tape Eventually Go Full Circle Wow, a Golden Oldie. Forgot I even posted on this thing, 6 years ago, with a general downer message about how open reel is the ultimate hair shirt medium. While it still is, I've probably bought 200 tapes since then, switched my Teac X-1000R for a... | |
| My ears of tin are over 50 At 80+, my ears are far from perfect but I'm still buying hardware and software regularly and enjoying the hell out of what I CAN still hear. 50-year-olds are babies! Dave | |
| Sansui TU-717 tuner schematics? Go to eBay and search on "Sansui Manuals." Someone there is selling a whole bunch, including the TU-717, on DVD for $19.95. There's also a current auction for a paper copy. Good luck, Dave. | |
| Review: Realistic Minimus 7 Monitor Great little speakers. So are the Model 77s, same shape and appearance but slightly larger. | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Newbrook, I just looked at Aquafina prices when picking up some things at the supermarket, and it was 95 cents per quart. I didn't see any distilled water there as cheap as $2/gallon. At these prices, it's pretty academic, though. And anyone who t... | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Oh, no, Dan I was saying you were open-minded for letting us use Aquifina if we chose :-) | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Well, Doug, I do think it reflects a willingness to put your money where your mouth is, with respect to trying to squeeze the best possible sound out of vinyl. Maybe he succeeds at that, maybe he doesn't, but his was a voice crying in the wilderne... | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Sorry I didn't answer the question to your satisfaction, Dan-ed. But thanks for being so open-minded :-) |
