| Equi=Core 1000 Hmmm, the name EQUI=CORE looks and sounds very similar to a company that's been doing balanced AC power for a little over 20 years now; EQUI=TECH. EQUI=TECH If you're interested in balanced AC power, here's another company that manufacturers ba... | |
| Isolation Springs Deal I can see a potential problem with this design though, if the weight of the piece of gear you're using these on is not evenly distributed. I think that applies to almost all turntables (and so many other pieces of gear). You certainly don't want t... | |
| Isolation Springs Deal Can't beat the price! Maximum weight (using all 4); 35 kg = 77 lbs. | |
| Change of sound with Deoxit G100 More info on MG Chemicals 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol | |
| Change of sound with Deoxit G100 @rolox @jdub39 These days I only use DeoxIT for pots (potentiometers), and only when *absolutely* necessary, because I do feel that even though applying it will fix the scratchy sound of a pot, it can (and most times will) also have a degrading mu... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @mahler123 "but prefer the digital feed, which is crisper and not prone to weather related dropouts" or when the basement of the Willis Tower gets flooded, and the 98.7 FM signal temporarily goes off the air (May 2020). | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @mahler123 Thank you for helping me prove my point. WFMT is a perfect example of comparing OTA real world FM tuner reception audio reproduction vs a station's webstream audio feed. In this equation are two different audio processors, and audio pro... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @cleeds You'll have no argument from me regarding HD radio. >>>The truth is that the stream of most radio stations is very lossy mp3 quality.<<< With all due respect, in some (not all) cases, you are correct, but in many cases... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @yyzsantabarbara Audio reproduction is very subjective. What you may think sounds right to you, may not sound right to me, and so on. Audio processing on radio is the same. Some listeners think balls to the wall processing sounds better to them, t... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Okay, I'll get in on this. Since the OP's question mainly asks about cables (and not equipment), I'll offer - for my brain and ears: Biggest Impact(!!): RCA analog interconnects. Number one on my list - hands down Runner up: Speaker cables Low... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @curtdr I noticed that you're looking for a tuner with a remote control. One such tuner would be the Teac model TR-670. You can always find them used for under $100 on ebay - just make sure the particular one you're looking at has the remote contr... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @curtdr Could it be Arizona University's KUAT (90.5 & 89.7)? | |
| Reverb, what a joke Wow, very sorry to hear that. Within the past 10 years I've probably purchased about 20 things off of Reverb, and never had a problem. I always had great communication with sellers, my items were always shipped quickly, and I never had to return a... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm Looking at that above linked picture, I can now see (rather clearly) what the little silver screw on the back does. As you mentioned Filip, it supports a shield - a shield that isolates the audio portion of the EAR, from the power supply p... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? It sure looks like the resistor is in place on *this* particular unit: picture of resistor |
