| Am I the only one Coach...Are you saying that the emperor has no clothes? You must be crazy. | |
| Are extended warranties necessary on plasmas? My Panasonic failed just a few days before the 1 year warrantee expired. Close call! But, although I had bought the thing on the internet, the local service center fixed it (replacement board) quickly and with no complaints. | |
| Electronic Crossover recommend I have used electronic crossovers on and off for almost 40 years, but I just recently tumbled to the realization that there is no one correct X/O frequency for the SW/Main transition, even for a particular audio system. It depends on the music you... | |
| Digitally recorded lps? The advantages of digital technology for recording and mastering are many. Just a few examples...Of course it put an end to tape hiss, and/or the various signal processing methods like DBX and Dolby used to minimize it.The musical performance almo... | |
| McIntosh vs. Accuphase It is also said that Luxman is the Japanese McIntosh. IMHO this reputation says more about McIntosh than the other brands. | |
| Soldering cable ends for AC terminations Jea48...I doubt that the Russians did things much different from us. It would be quite impossible to implement anything but the most primitive guidance system using tubes. Our (US) late 1950's guidance system (Polaris Mk 1) was all solid state. La... | |
| Who sells high quality audiophile CD’s? I know that generalizations can be misleading, but my experience is that European labels (Tacet, MDG for example) tend to deliver superior sound. They also cost $24, and up. You get what you pay for. | |
| Soldering cable ends for AC terminations Jea48...I have no problem with solder in audio equipment, but there is electronic equipment that uses another method which sounds unlikely but actually works very well. I am thinking of "wire wrap". The soft copper wire is twisted around a hard sh... | |
| Playing REALLY old records Try a Shure M78S Wide Groove 78 RPM Monophonic Cartridge. (Partsexpress.com item232-555). After you transfer to digital there are very effective software programs which you can use to clean up the sound. | |
| UPS Tracking Question Not normal. UPS tracking works great for me. | |
| Dynaco ST-120 amp output cap coil? If I recall correctly, the coil was wound on one of the smaller power supply capacitors so that when transferred to the output capacitor it is a reasonably tight fit. Why can't you just wrap something around your new output capacitor so as to incr... | |
| HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS? Rysa4...And Wire recorders, but I had to stop somewhere! | |
| Which Magnepans 3.5 or 1.6? Jimburger is a brave man to admit that "what-if-itis" was at least in part responsible for his 3.6 purchase. Unfortunately, after you buy the 3.6, you will still suffer from this ailment as you contemplate the possibilities of the 20.1. And after ... | |
| HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS? Unsound...I need one that does Blue Ray, HD DVD, DVDA, SACD, CD(with HDCD), LP (33, 45, 78), and cassete tapes on the side. | |
| Which Magnepans 3.5 or 1.6? New is obviously an advantage. The MG1.6 is a significant improvement over earlier QR models. Some people (I am one) actually prefer the QR approach (tweeter is part of the one membrane) over the separate different-technology ribbon. I suggest you... |
