| High End Audio Equipment, Status Symbol? when I played tennis at I club I was most impressed by the guy who showed up in cut-off jeans and a wooden racket with a broken string, and proceeded to whip everyone in spite of their prestigious high tech equipment. | |
| Anyone Bi-amping with tube high & solid state lows Not now, but I did that in the past (when a tube amp was what I had on hand). Don't let anyone tell you that the different types of amplifiers have different sonic characteristics that will be a problem. Remember, they are driving very different t... | |
| Any worthwhile indoor FM antenna's? Anyone? If your signal is strong a coat hanger will work as well as anything. A simple omnidirectional "turnstile" antenna on the roof will outperform any high tech indoor unit. If you are in a fringe area (like me) you need a large directional rooftop an... | |
| Unwanted radio signal from turntable Clean the interconnect connectors and the jacks that they go into using contact cleaner (from Radio shack). In order to hear the RF signal it has to be demodulated, and some corrosion product may be doing it. If you listen closely you may hear a w... | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? elizabeth...The for sale Sony PSX800 turntable (which you thought was worth $100) was bid up to $315, but the seller's reserve price was not met. Does this make the PSX800 three times better? | |
| Any feedback on TANNOY? Tannoy has been around since the earliest days of recorded sound. Did you know that in England, the word "Tannoy" is sometimes used in general for "Loudspeaker". | |
| Why do DIY products have less value ? A suggestion...Incorporate yourself as TWL AUDIO DYNAMICS.Hang a sign on your garage. Advertize in Stereophile. Offer your designs for sale at absurd prices. You may not get many customers, but you will get some respect (but you will loose mine). | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? elizabeth...As it happens, for the first time I have seen a Sony PSX800 turntable for sale: current bid is $115 and we'll see what it sells for. You may be right about the price, even if I am right about the quality of this item.The question is: W... | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? Elizabeth... I thought this was about good performing turntables, not investments. Actually I have never seen one for sale at any price. Can you direct me to one? | |
| How often do you demagnitize your MC cartridge? It's the chicken that does it. | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? Sony PSX800. Direct drive, Linear tracking servo-controlled arm, very complex electronics, goes against all the audiophile wisdom. But, it performs flawlessly. Sorry about that. | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? Luxman T-14. Audio quality is limited only by the quality of the broadcast signal. I think this is true of a number of tuners, but the slim (2") Luxman gets extra points for sheer beauty and layout of controls. | |
| driver moving too much Find out if the problem is feedback or record warp/turntable defect by putting the pickup down on a record while the table is stopped. Tap the record and see what happens.It certainly is a good idea to have the table on a solid base so that vibrat... | |
| Best Universal Player for DVD's , CD's w/ dvd-a The Pioneer DVD 45A (at about $400) really does play both DVD-A and SACD, which some other players mentioned above do not. It is solidly built and sounds good to me...don't be put off by the low price. (Perhaps I should say: don't be distracted by... | |
| why are some cd's so bright sounding It's not a question of "quality" or how much time is spent in mastering the release. The CD sounds that way because the engineer wanted it that way, and the reason is to sound better on non-HI FI playback equipment. Suggestion...use your tone cont... |
