| Turntables Yesterday I refined the two tonearm’s geometry and two headshells/cartridges alignments for a friend. Long Arm: MC Stereo; Short Arm: MC Mono. We listened, stereo/mono for a few hours, switch arm in seconds. Luxman TT has a two arm integral junct... | |
| Phono Stage Upgrade Anything to do with Phono, get refund option!!! | |
| need a new IC cable ( rca ) Secure connections are important. I changed most of my RCA's to Ortofon pure copper with Locking RCA connectors. The best thing I like about XLR in home systems (no long length advantage) with short runs is that the connector's 'lock' in securely.... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? I use 'Prefer' rather than 'Better' regarding variations and my personal selections. When several friends agree with you, that gets close to 'better', but still .... | |
| Listening chair height? I can’t help yapping a lot about this. Being 74, I’ve messed with lots of spaces and lots of speakers, various toe-in’s ..., better equipment and more experiences progressively along the way. I’ve also worked with AV consultants for the Boardroom... | |
| Entre' ET-100 SUT It is confusing, I learned from others here first, then subsequent research. I also have a TT with 3 Tonearms, multiple cartridges I often see the ET-100 listed for sale, and have not crossed path with detailed info. You might ask sell... | |
| Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations By instinct we prefer made for our voltage, and if re-sell, that would be more favorable, however, I, and people all over the planet successfully use voltage convertors. My JVC Victor Turntable is 100v. A small totally quiet 120/100 does the job,... | |

| Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations ps. My Sony BluRay is like a Smart TV: ethernet connection: DVDs, CD’s SACDs, STREAMING Services: netflix/prime/ ...... so if their TV is not Smart, you use the BluRay player to get there. Mine goes thru Sony AVR so one remote can do all. | |
| Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations A few years, possibly more. You will have joyful moments for sure, however relaxation will be progressively more important. I would not give up on a simple 5.0 (no sub) surround system based on the OHM's as front l/r. I would give up on the met... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? Vintage Equipment, Intended Overhaul, Great Sound and Great Value I took a chance on a vintage mx110z McIntosh Tube Tuner/Preamp. Enjoyed it as received for a few years, then sent it to Audio Classics for Overhaul. New capacitors/resistors/rectif... | |
| Acoustic Curtain for listening area You could consider using thick fabric vertical blinds. You can angle the fabric faces to absorb/prevent reflections, still see thru at an angle when partially swivelled open, and partially draw them open to pass between rooms if needed. Or, slidi... | |
| Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went? not working for me either | |
| Comparing external DAC to CD player DAC after my search, my conclusion is that it is a SALAD: dac(s); upscaling; re-clocking; filters; anti-jitter; proprietary this and that .... prefer, not better is the way I think about it. trust your ears, and any friends ears you trust. After re... | |
| Bragging rights..... all in one tube unit? remote: vol; mute; (remote balance would be nice); stereo/mono modes; mm phono (external sut ok for mc); dac (upgradable); 4 line in; ht bypass; tape loop; processor loop; two out preferably 6sn7 |
