| Telephones for Audiophiles? I have a TMC 4 line phone/anwering machine that has good recording fidelity and 30 min recording time. Audio is good but I ended up using the handset from an old AT&T phone- it sounded better. | |
| Quicksilver Gold Tips how to Apply I think I have heard it said that the oil based carrier is what causes break in.I try to provide a very light dusting, due to this. | |
| Vintage Gear in NYC? John Varvatos! What a laugh.The old home of CBGB's. I went in there a while ago since I saw a signin front they had vinyl. Yes, they had some interesting original and import rock LP's but the prices were insane. I saw the vintage gear as well, but... | |
| Graham Phantom + Mint LP I too ordered the Mint LP for my Phantom + Raven One.I found I could not see the stylus and cross lines well.I researched many different devices to be able to better see what is going on with the alignment. I ended up ordering a very cool fiber op... | |
| Raven One Owners - some questions My Raven One sits on a Sistrum Stand SP-1. I added an additional upward brass point in the center which contacts the bottom of the bearing, allowing vibration to drain from it.I originally had a smaller sistrum stand temporarily, and heard a remar... | |
| Graham Phantom Armwand From what I have read and a quick conversation with Bob GRaham, it seems to be a slightly different flavor of sound, without one being truly superior than the other. The change from ceramic was due to the fact that a few customers dropped their ar... | |
| DBX Expander Since my system is balanced, and I'd like to keep it that way, could I just use one 3BX-DS for each channel? Meaning left is inverting - right is non inverting, then combine them back to XLR? I already use gear (Strain Gauge) that puts out balance... | |
| Favorite Speakers at RMAF Can anyone else who heard the Lansche comment? I would love to hear those sometime.Any comments on the Scaena's? I have heard those on a few occasions (not at a show) and found them to be possibly the best speaker I have heard. | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out I too wish you luck. I really think you will have the best luck selling Meridian F80's to women. When I met my GF she had a boombox and that's all she really wants. She actually hates my system, wires, placment, etc, and I usually play it too loud... | |
| DBX Expander What a great thread!I have a perfect 3BX-DS sitting in my closet I have not thought about in many years.I had bought it new when CD first came out and I used to like to fall asleep listening to music, and found CD's (and later movies) to be too dy... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI This sounds quite interesting, but I'd like to know how this differs from the original VPI hard wands made of teflon.I read they switched to velvet because some people were scratching LPs.So before I subjected my LP collection to a new device such... | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost I think the most important thing is determine one's audio aesthetic.It takes time, and a lot of listening to systems and research.Once one identifies with a philosophy of reproduction, then it becomes easier to determine how to achieve that within... | |
| Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM It would be incredible for someone with a 16.5 or 17 and ALSO a Typhoon to record some short sound samples of each and post them.I also read that the later Typhoons were quieter than early ones, but I could be wrong.Over the summer I was in a simi... | |
| "Sistrum SP-101 or SRA V 3.0" Shaizada, please post back when you get your SRA's. I welcome your comments because I too have a number of Sistrum stands, speaker stands and points, and have found them to be outstanding.I too am considering SRA's for some of my gear, but my syst... | |
| Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help? Does Step 4 use a lubricant? I think I heard this mentioned. |
