| Have you ever skinned a speaker cable? Almarg: Thanks for the contribution!I don't really "need" 5 guage wire but I need to satisfy my curiosity.I currently use Harmonic Tech Pro-9 which, IMO, dumps current like nobody's business -Really great macro dynamics. I have some HT Pro-11 that... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... For me, in this "Golden Age" of speakers, I find myself wanting BETTER MUSIC!We need to find the Tesla/Einstein/Carlyle/Jordan of (modern) music.Someone who is head-and-shoulders above their peers.Good progress was made by Paul Simon (Graceland) a... | |
| What is This Noise? Update: Have not heard the "dreaded grain" in a couple of weeks now.New speakers seem to have broken in and settled down.All's well in Dweller Land... | |
| Jimi Hendrix on PBS "American Masters" Thanks. | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? I had the large caps replaced on my former ARC CL-60. I walked into the store's back room where my amp was sitting on a table. It was turned on with no speakers attached.The tech told me it is alright to have the amp powered up as long as you don'... | |
| New Speakers/Amps If you want a head start toward great sound:-NAD C 390DD integrated-KEF LS50 speakers-Rega Apollo CD player-B&W ASW650 sub-Harmonic Technology (or Acoustic Zen) mono crystal wireHappy Halloween! | |
| R.I.P. Lou Reed An Original. | |
| World Series Buzz Lowrider57: Yes. It is a constant, droning buzz. It gets louder when crowd noise occurs (someone hits a home run, etc.). It does come and go i.e. it's not always there.It's probably crowd noise overwhelming the broadcast A/D converter resulting in... | |
| World Series Buzz Hello Bcgator,I've got the series on right now. It is down the hall in my TV area (30 feet away) and I can hear that damn buzz plain as day. Sounds just like an electric hair clipper or shaver.It may be due to my equipment (46 inch Toshiba LED 108... | |
| World Series Buzz I turned the game back on just after 8 p.m. (PST) and was hearing the buzz.This has to be some kind of control signal used for setting microphone volumes, dynamic range etc..Another possible is that it's some kind of "dithering" or digital artifac... | |
| World Series Buzz I just turned off Game 3 (in St. Louis).DirecTV is sponsoring the blimp (so I know there is one) but there is no "electric razor" noise in tonight's broadcast.I'll tune in Game 6 (if the series returns to "Baston")and hear what I can hear! | |
| World Series Buzz Jmcgrogan2: Useful.The noise is a little higher-pitched than you'd expect from a blimp motor, however. | |
| Weiss is so underrated Since price isn't a determining factor, have you tried the Rega DAC or new Meridian "Director"? Both have Apodising filters which are supposed to make a big difference.As far as musicality, the humble Rega Apollo just knocked my socks off when I o... | |
| RIP Panny Plasmas So buy two or three plasmas and save 'em!What's the problem?Look on the bright side: Maybe they're gearing up for Oled production.Supposed to be better than plasma -no?BTW: Costco has a Samsung 55 inch 240 hz LED for under $800. Is not a "smart" T... | |
| What is This Noise? I haven't heard the "tracing" form of static distortion lately (like it's riding (surfing?) the waveform).I've only heard the intermittent "tick" now and then.My gut tells me it's coming from my (new) speakers and will fix itself in time. |
