| Help Me With My Buzz Well, just an update. I originally posted this some days ago, but it just appeared today. The buzz has gone away. It was pretty simple in that some BlueJeans cables did the trick. As I am finding out, in the world of turntables, there are 101 thin... | |
| Banana Plug Wall Plate w/Cabling In the end I got a few options, but for my speakers I am going to try use those hole covers for desks. They have a two-inch diameter, and I also got a 2-inch hole drill bit, so hopefully all fits well. I also like the small circular look better th... | |
| Banana Plug Wall Plate w/Cabling That's a good idea Mesch. Thanks. | |
| Banana Plug Wall Plate w/Cabling @Theo, yes, being single w/o kids has MANY audio advantages -- not just cabling and speaker related either. @kgturner, those are the 'exit' wall plates I was looking at but thought they might be too attractive of a nuisance for the kids. When all ... | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' Well, I finally decided on speakers, and I didn't quite end up where I thought I was headed -- which is good. I thank everyone for their input. I looked into every speaker recommended in the thread, and probably spent too much time researching and... | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' The wife is coming around to floor standing speakers. Stand mounters aren't the most child friendly, and I think she likes the single-piece look. And bookshelf/monitors have limitations.Anyhow, I will be getting a $250 credit for speakers at an au... | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' You guys crack me up. Good line about the ushers finding your seat. For right now, I have hooked up some vintage KEF 102s so that I have more time to second guess myself. With that said, the wife kind of liked the Ushers with light colored (silver... | |
| How do you roll? First LP on a new TT. Glass Houses was the first album I got to know as a child. I had bought some 45s before that, but Glass Houses was the first full-length album I played oner and over, BUT I don't have that album right now. k. | |
| How do you roll? First LP on a new TT. Thanks for the input. I have to admit that it didn't occur to me the break-in for a cartridge would be that long. Also that is a good idea to not lay down the best LP I have just incase something isn't set right. I am getting the Pro-ject Carbon D... | |
| Spin Clean after Steam Cleaning? oilmanjojo, thanks for the tip about solution+steam. I hadn't thought about that. And it seems to get around the issue on this forum about putting solution directly in the steam reservoir.And that is a very good video linked. From another thread, ... | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' You guys amaze me -- in a good way. Just when I think I am settling on one speaker, someone bursts in like a freakin' purse snatcher and robs me of my surety. At last call, the sliverlines (in piano black) were my choice. The wife has reluctantly ... | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' Yeah, those Ushers are nice. I did look into them a bit a last week but the price just seemed out there for my budget -- even when used. With that said, a custom speaker maker recommended I take a look at the KEF R100s considering my space constra... | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' I have to say that I talked with a dealer today, and I am considering breaking the budget just a tad to get some open box discounted Dali Rubicon 2 bookshelf speakers. We'll see. k. | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' I see that NeedleDoctor carries the Rega RS 1s and they are right in town here in Minneapolis, so I'll go check them out. This morning, however, I called a dealer in VA who sold both the Neat Accoustics Iota and KEF LS50s, and he said that if you ... | |
| Please Critique This LP Cleaning Setup Thanks for the feedback guys. I really appreciate it. The EV-1 looks like exactly what I want, and if I cut out the spin-clean, it isn't that much more in terms of cost. And having the vacuum eliminates my desire to use microfibers to assist in dr... |
