| Phase Inversion?? Easiest thing to do is rewire the outlet with correct phase. Believe you can get a little $5 device at home depot to plug in to see if the outlet is wired correctly...I'd also note that AC phase is different from the phase that validpoint is talki... | |
| Phase Inversion?? There was a recent thread on this. The phase inverted effect is known as "Woods Effect"--run a google search. I gather some recordings may invert phase anyway, so you can't *always* have it right anyway.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamp... | |
| 5.25" Speakers/Amp--Oddball Question... Slappy, you da man! Just found a relatively inexpensive 535-L, which has a volume on it... I think I will just get the PE coax speakers, they are the right size and while the freq resp. looks pretty hot w/o a xover, it is just a video arcade... An... | |
| 5.25" Speakers/Amp--Oddball Question... Thx Slappy, hadn't thought of using a real amp, but I guess even a cheapo car amp plus the pain and angst of building a power supply might offset the cost of a cheap pwr amp...UV, unless you go back to the "night driver" and "pong" era, most of th... | |
| Tift Merritt I'll second Bramble Rose, and also note that just last week (I think), her second album was released--Tambourine. Haven't listened to it yet, however... It is sadly just sitting in my living room still in its wrapper... | |
| How do you fix an ''out of print'' scratched CD ? You might try ripping it with something like EAC and reburning a new copy. EAC will keep trying to read the sectors until it gets an exact copy... Can takes hours and hours, but it might give you a "true" copy...You could also try eBay... | |
| amplification match with MartinLogan Ascent i ESLs Interesting about the Krell gear--I seem to recall hearing at one point that Gayle Sanders runs Krell gear, but can't remember where that came from... | |
| mp3 vs CD No, mp3 by its nature is lossy compression. You lose information. The bit rate affects how much you lose, but you still lose... | |
| amplification match with MartinLogan Ascent i ESLs I've run MLs (Prodigy, Aeon) using ARC tubes and *that* is a beautifully liquid arrangement... | |
| What do you NEVER want to hear again??? Amen Slappy. I'll happily acknowledge the Beatles' contribution to music, I just don't want to hear it. Add to that anything by Enya, U2, Creed, Eminem... The list is too long. | |
| what's your favorite album cover? The Human Sexual Response retro-looking album cover with the two kids poking their fingers into the green jello mold... Seriously, I think some mag just did a reader's poll on this, and Whipped Cream was #1 of all time according to that. Pehar--I'... | |
| Amplifier trigger question I think a lot of the folks may just recommend leaving the amps on if they are solid state. I have tube amps where that is out of the question, however, and I use a PS Audio Power Director, which has both a 12V trigger and a IR interface--you might... | |
| Paint Removal? If its a real anodized alum. finish, shouldn't be damaged--anodizing is a physical change to the actual metal to oxidize it in a controlled manner. So, the finish isn't "applied"--its actually the metal itself, only harder. The problem might be th... | |
| DLP rear projector recommendation please Very sad to hear about Arun; his guide and tracking of the Samsung models was truly amazing. | |
| DLP rear projector recommendation please There is a relatively definitive guide to DLPs at http://www.digiupdate.com, which includes an in depth discussion of the new chipsets used in various models, known defects, etc. You should def. view one under decent conditions before buying tho',... |
