| Kaleidoscope patterns on dvd? Yes, where are the enterprising EE's these days? Does anyone make a pattern generator (groovy man) that is driven by whatever music is playing? I'll buy one... | |
| Bad luck W/ Musical Fidelity DAC Why is silk more costly than sack cloth? There is less of it by weight (per yard); it isn't as warm if made into clothing; and if you hold it up to the light, it's almost not even there! Yes silk is a very fine thing -they keyword here is "fine". ... | |
| Source for vinyl record storage boxes? Musiciansfriend.com has spiffy heavy duty metal cases for $60/ea. These are geared for DJ scene but us pinheads (who pay $50 for an electric receptical) should eat these up! | |
| Copper Deterioration? It's not that silver sounds "better" when it oxidizes; Silver oxide is a better conductor than unoxidized copper. | |
| Humming noise from Tweeter? This problem has done to death (i.e., search the A-gon archives) but...1. Are you using a dimmer switch on any lamps?2. Does hum come from both tweeters or only one?3. If only one hummer, switch the speaker cable and see if hum follows. If yes, th... | |
| Any audio shops in Vegas that shouldn't be missed? I had a greate experience last Christmas at Premiere Home Entertainment, 2300 N. Rainbow (702)877-0222. They carry B&W and Audio Research so credentials in order and they couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful (even wrapped my DM303's f... | |
| Who has solved the HVAC air noise problem? Installing staggered baffles inside of your vents will help. This means extending a padded piece of plywood, or whatever, halfway into the duct then doing the same on the opposite side a foot or so further along. four flanges should do it. Also, f... | |
| OZZIE RULES Had to laugh after seeing the Oz on that T.V. show he's doing with his family. He was scolding the young-un's and ranting against the evils of "Pot and alcohol" and "hanging around in clubs when your only 16..." Sounded just like a PTA mom... Oh w... | |
| Buying Dealer Demos This may be obvious, but get up-close-and-personal with the speakers and listen for any scraping noises (from a really donged voice coil), fuzzy noises (burned out tweeters) and anything that doesn't sound like music. Also, check for excessive wea... | |
| Diana Krall in Paris Concert DVD Mzn50: Yes, her singing is rather uninspired.Agree that her backup (especially those strings!) is/are first rate. Question: Is is me, my system, or the DVD but I could not hear the chimes when they were being struck?Over and over the camera showed... | |
| Amplifier Orientation? Stacking shouldn't be a problem but I would remove the top and (if possible) bottom covers to improve air flow. You could probably disconnect the tiny (and noisy) stock fans and put a bigger (and slower) mother under them -even try locating the fa... | |
| What's the best sounding dome tweeter available? I like the Scanspeak "Revelator" -very open and detailed. | |
| What do I do with a FedEx claim denial? Sounds like FedEx has a point. THEY didn't pack the remote which "came loose from its compartment in the foam packing material during shipment and cracked"; Why should they be responsible? Whomever the packer was is the one at fault... | |
| Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits? I'm very tempted by this technology but will wait awhile -maybe they'll bring out a 24/192 or SACD/DVD-A recorder. | |
| do you need to tweak a tape deck??? 01. Head demagnatizer 02. Keep everything squeaky clean (capstans, rubber wheels, all heads) 03. Find an alignment tape to zero in your record/playback heads. Basically, this tape (I own one from ??? Discwasher ??? Geo-Tape ???) has identical whit... |
