| Rebuilt laser any good? The Theta Data Basic II does not use a pioneer transport. It is a Philips CDM-9 Pro. | |
| A Shocking Experience Wow, you've become a famous conductor. Can I have your autograph? ;^) | |
| Copies Better Than Originals? Pioneer has been known to rewrite the laws of physics. About 25 years ago they advertized a head shell that was low in weight but high in mass. | |
| Bulk Erasing CD's = Digital Nirvana? I've been doing it for years. Works for me. | |
| Supex 900 1.8 grams and 3 ohms ought to do it, if memory serves me. Don | |
| Best amp match for Dynaco PAS-3x? This preamp, not using a cathode follower, has a high output impedence. It was designed to be used with tube power amps having a high (250k or higher) input impedence. If you choose a solid state amp, be sure that it has an input impedence of at l... | |
| Differences between 6922 and 12AU7? Then there is the fact that the 12AU7 is a 12 volt filament while the 6922 runs on 6 volts. | |
| My Dumb Question of the Day I've got it! Let's burn little pits into the record and have a LASER read them. No mechanical coupling at all. This sould give us perfect sound forever. No, wait a minute, I think this has been tried and vinyl still sounds better. Go figure. | |
| Please explain On a solid state amp, the bias ajustment determines how "enriched" in class A-B the amp runs. The higher the bias, the longer the amp stays in class A. I built a Hafler DH200 about 25 years ago and the bias is turned up to about 3 times the stock ... | |
| Experience with Genesis lens and Audit/Tactic I'm using a Theta Basic II, which is very similar to your Lambda, feeding an Alchemy 2.0 then a Genesis Lens and finally a Theta Gen Va balanced. All three digital cables are balanced Tara Decades. It sounds wonderful!!! I've had the 2.0 and Lens ... | |
| Speaker set up tweak, maybe old, but worth repeat. One of the reasons that I like my Acoustat 2+2s is that they are 8' tall. They have tremendous sound stage height whether one is seated or standing. Being panels, they beam like a flashlight. An Argent Room Lens, however, increases the "sweet spot... | |
| Every make a purchase you truly regret? Vandersteen 2CI. Tried every possible amp, preamp, speaker cables and interconnects. Always polite and blah sounding, never involving. Replaced them with 'stats and never looked back. | |
| What to do? Sell it now. Use the money to buy a CD (from the bank, not Circuit City). When you have a bigger room in the future, you will be able to buy the same equipment for less money or better equipment for what you have in the CD. In the meantime, enjoy ... | |
| Upgrade for old Dahlquist DQ LP1 Crossover I upgraded the caps and resistors in mine and changed all of the jacks. The most important components in this crossover are the caps used on the passive side. These caps are in the signal path of the main speakers and need to be polyprop or polyst... | |
| Who has the oldest speakers? Other than the frequency extremes, no one has bettered the QUAD 57s. Not even QUAD. In many ways, I wish I still had mine. |
