| LG dvd player stops/starts while playing disc Maybe try cleaning the laser lens? | |
| What Gauge of Wire...? My trick was to run 2 sets of speaker wires [zip cord] to each speaker, one set to the + and one set to the - terminal. Separating the 2 wires by a few inches will reduce capacitance and inductance vs. having the signal paths in close proximity in... | |
| Audioquest cables? The cable that seems to be a cost to performance winner is the Audience AU24. I haven't tried their speaker cables, but I was quite impressed with their I/C's.I never was a big fan of Audioquest, but beauty is in the EAR of the beholder :-) | |
| Angriest Lyric/Vocal Sex Pistols, "BODIES" [about abortion...dripping with angry and vulgarity].Ehaller, you do realise the the female intro narrative [wanna take a bath?!!] to Floyd's "ONE OF MY TURNS" is by Toni Tennille of the Capt. and Tennille? | |
| Shipping Expensive Speakers? WATCH OUT If you have home owner's or renter's insurance, check with your agent about a policy to cover damage in transit. There's always Lloyd's of London, but they ain't cheap.Finally, if the party who is shipping doesn't have the ORIGINAL boxes or crates... | |
| Best stereo recievers of the 1970's? If we're talking transistors and not tubes, the Luxman was a great name...also Tandberg made a great receiver.I loved my Sony STR 6400-D. The British mags gave it a good review, and this model was tough to find [back-ordered] for several weeks. Bu... | |
| balanced power So, if you were able to run 240V equipment in the USA, [changing the outlet receptacle, and running a 240V line to it], would it sound better, since 240V is balanced...isn't it? | |
| ac cables falling out of IEC inlets on amps Man, I guess that some Audiophiles are REALLY anal. I am using a very heavy power cord on my tube preamp, which sits on the top shelf. The weight of the cord will pull it out just enough to create a problem with the right channel.The Blutack fix i... | |
| ac cables falling out of IEC inlets on amps First, I rolled the Blutack [you will have to kneed real Blutack to make it pliable] into a "rope" about the diameter of a pen, and cut this "rope" to fit around the outside of the power cord plug. I pressed the power cord very firmly into the IEC... | |
| The Who: DVDs, Video... Quadrophenia should still be available on DVD widescreen. | |
| ac cables falling out of IEC inlets on amps I had the same problem. Use Blutack. DO NOT USE THE GENERIC GARBAGE, OR YOU WILL BE SORRY! | |
| Anyone heard or purchesed the new EAT tubes? Yeah, right! $450 for an UNMATCHED pair!!! Buy some NOS tubes from Andy at Vintage Tube Services [doubt he'll have Telefunken 6922's], and save yourself some money!It is impossible for a modern production tube to match the quality control, chemica... | |
| Wire Pink Flag 180 Gram Sherbd, are those the lyrics from a song of theirs? Pretty lame...sounds like some schlock from an "arena rock band" of the mid to late 1970's era...can anyone say "Jefferson Starship"? | |
| PBS's Wired Science "Analog vs. Digital". On PBS? I'm surprised that they don't debate which creates more "global warming"! | |
| freq range, 50hz-20khz at + -3db please explain Duffydawg, there appears to be some confusion in your dB facts.A 3 dB INCREASE is a DOUBLING of ACOUSTIC POWER [dBw or decibel watts]. A 6dB increase would be a quadrupling of dBw. A 9 dB increase would be an 8 fold increase of dBw.Now, if we're t... |
