| Why Are Phono Cables Different? Whoa, Narrod, since when? Last I looked, my phono cables had a left and a right. Unless you're listening in mono.The only "requirements" I know of are that the phono cables be sufficiently shielded to avoid hum. Otherwise, line level ICs will work... | |
| What was your biggest vinyl surprise for $.99 Ralph Towner's "Diary" on ECM -- the German pressing to boot -- in near-mint condition. Exactly $.99. | |
| May Day May Day It was sometime in the mid 1940s. A portable (in the sense that you could lift it), self-contained walnut-veneered record player/speaker/amp with a hinged top. I think the brand name was Silverline, or Silver-something. Played 78s, since that was ... | |
| Electrician in DC area Thanks again, Albert. | |
| Electrician in DC area Albert, could you send the info to me too. I'm also in the DC area (Potomac, MD). Thanks, Dave | |
| I just wanted to play a record Cripes, I just counted. Ten steps here (assuming I left the PS Audio P300 turned on; otherwise it would be 11) PLUS a minute and 45 seconds wait for the CJ linestage to unmute. And yes, it sounds much better an hour later :-) Dave | |

| Break in period Who's talking about lemons? Good grief.(Now I'm doing it. Best find another thread.) | |
| Break in period Harsh but not unduly. Shadorne has missed few opportunities (in the related posts I've seen) to repeat his break-in-is-all-in-the-mind nonsense. It clearly takes a lot to penetrate HIS mind (changing his mindset is obviously not in the cards) and ... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? The Raysonic definitely makes edgy CDs listenable, more so every day. I may reach a point where the Ack dAck becomes "unnecessary" and, yes, it does sound a bit rolled, relative to the Raysonic. One problem is that the DAC has substanially less ou... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Updating my totally out-of-date post, I sold the Sony XA777ES (using a cheap Sony NS 500V for SACDs only). Just bought a tubed Raysonic CD128 and use an Ack dAck 2.0 with it for those CDs suffering from major "digititus." It's too early for a real... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. Just a thought. After I found that acoustic polarity ("normal" vs "inverted) made a difference in my system, the next thing I discovered was that it made the MOST difference with DG vinyl, CDs, and R-R tape. No idea why. But before giving up on DG... | |
