| Surge Suppressor or Not? That's a great start for entry level.You need better than a $12 Home Depot strip.Something in the lines of PS Audio Ultimate Outlet will work great. Personally, I don't care for Monster. Anything at this point to protect and condition should be a ... | |
| Buying expensive used CD player/transp = bad idea? Since you are getting the DAC, try it with a mid range dvd player or similar first. Don't buy a big chunky older unit unless you can hear the difference. A 5 year old unit through your DAC may sound no better than a small newer unit through the sa... | |
| Buying a New Cartridge My 2 favorites, depending on price are Clearaudio Aurum Beta S and Goldring 1012. The Goldring is 1/2 the price but there is a noticable difference. | |
| rca plugs - comparisons? Ever check out Nordost spring loaded RCA's. Definitely my favorite. | |
| Warm sounding Pre/Pro B&K vs. Anthem w/Mac+Klipsch I think my 7106 is fairly warm sounding, especially when compared to an ATI. The yamaha gear is Class A rated when in class A mode and is amazingly warm sounding. The problem is that the klipschorns are not at all warm. I've had Anthem, B&K an... | |

| el 34 vs kt 77 If you hit the lottery, vintage EL34's are amazing. I just spent the week with NOS Mullards and NOS Groove Tubes. I don't know of anything newer that will keep up. Svetlana WXT's are good but not as smooth. | |
| WiFi Connection The only catch is you have to have it hard wired just for set-up only. Keep that in mind when locating it somewhere so you can get your laptop to it. | |
| Secret messages on LP's? no one mentioned "my sweet satan" from Zepplin 1 | |
| Integrated amp for efficient speakers Music Hall, class A rated nice DAC built in. | |
| like to buy a dac? Sat radio isn't worth a DAC. It's all compressed and a DAC may end up making it sound worse (you'll notice that something is missing like highs and lows). | |
| My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now wait until you buy some 180gm pressings! | |
| Subwoofer vibration foot isolators???? Don't you want the sub coupled to the floor? Putting it on isolation feet will muddy the bass. It should shake the house, not the other way around. For that matter, with carpet I would consider spikes and sand bags on top. Yes, keep it away from t... | |
| I have four B&W 801's, two 603's and a B&W center I have a mac with 100 watts and it is true to its rating. To realize any noticeable gains in volume, you will need to massively increase power. Going to 200 watts will only gain you 3db,going to 400 watts will get you 6db. Yes, you can get 500 wat... | |
| help me with the name.... Most likely a Transcriptor Skeleton which was made by Mitchell. The easiest way to know is: 1-are there 5 tiny black buttons on top of points that the album sits on? 2-If I recall, the tonearm had a guidewire/line on it.The table is nice. I had on... |
