| Where is the best place for an auction? It seems that it is a "Sellers Market" on eBay for DCC, MoFi, and other premium or scarce vinyl and CD labels. I cannot believe the prices that some buyers will pay...and unfortunately, some of this stuff is sonic crap!The MoFi Gold CD of Elton Jo... | |
| Amp broken? Sounds like you're getting D.C. on the plates of the tube in that channel. | |
| Vinyl, should I take the plunge? Eldartford, you're correct! I misspoke in my post. I meant to say that CD's are quieter and have better channel separation than vinyl. Thanks for picking up.on that! | |
| Vinyl, should I take the plunge? If you are buying used vinyl you will absolutely positively need a wet record cleaning device (VPI, Nitty Gritty) that has a vacuum pickup tube...the only civilized way to clean. No doubt about it, cleaning and vinyl prep is a pain in the ass! And... | |
| stupid sacd question Funny, I heard Dark Side of the Moon ("Money") at the C.E.S. I think that it was the Wilson room???? Anyway, it was REAL high quality multi-channel SACD room, and I found the presentation sort of disconcerting. Maybe I'm just an old fart, but DSOT... | |
| Music everywhere, too much? Worst example is gas stations (can't call 'em service stations anymore!) that have little LCD screens on the pumps that spew out ads and music video clips! Make me want to finish fueling up by spurting gas on the pump, and throwing a match! | |
| Laser disc reads "A3 ", will not open. Yes, Brainwateryes, I really do (Blue Front Amazon). Good luck! | |
| Laser disc reads "A3 ", will not open. According to my CLD-97 (the LD Model just below yours) manual, "an H0, H1, or A (followed by a number) indicates the player is in an abnormal condition. When requesting service, please note the displayed number." Or to simplify, "You're F**ked". T... | |
| Shipping out of the USA Slipknot, just curious why you had to deal with all of the B.S. when shipping an American made product to Canada. I thought that NAFTA removed most of these procedures. Am I wrong? | |
| Tuner recommendations Hope that you live in a metropolis , where there are radio stations WORTH listening to (programming & fidelity). | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Justice isn't blind, it just looks the other way...from the Boomtown Rats song "ELEPHANT'S GRAVEYARD" | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... I graduated high school in 1972. I was an AM Top 40 listener, as FM progressive radio was pretty much in its infancy, and no one I knew had an FM radio in their cars. Also, these were the days before component stereo (except for a few audiophiles)... | |
| Anyone reterminated a Valhalla? My understanding is that Nordost WILL reterminate their cables! But they will not cut lengths. So if you want to reterminate your I/C's from RCA to XLR or vice versa, or your speaker cables from spade to "Z-plug" (their much improved variant on a ... | |
| What's the most anolog sounding CDP Fatcataudio, you are the first person that I have EVER heard referring to the Accuphase DP 75V as, "...clinical, sterile sounding player[s]". Perhaps you have a problem somewhere else in your audio chain! Actually, I apologize for being somewhat s... | |
| Would like some opinions on tube rolling Vintage Tube Services! Andy is an expert not only in the custom matching of tubes, but knows volumes about the tonal qualities and history of N.O.S. tubes. Personally, I've had several bad experiences with Upscale, and consider myself very fortuna... |
