| 20 year old solid state technology..... . . . 20 years ago, semiconductors could not handle as much power as the ones made today; more were needed for a given power output. Today these devices can handle more power so, at least on paper, less devices for the same power rating should yi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, that’s what Bruce was telling me when I let him know that I was running 18 psi. If you already have an ET-2 you may want to try upping the pressure before trying the 2.5. I don’t have a high pressure manifold and for that reason if I go m... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman, I sure that removing each of the set screws is the best way. In my case, as clean as everything looked and the fact that spindle operates smoothly, I felt that pushing high pressure air through each capillary would sufficient. If you list... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I went down to Palmer street today to see the man himself. I was a bit confused about what upgrades would be best for my ET-2 running 18 psi with an 8.5 gram medium-compliance cartridge. I must say, what a great guy he is. As we stood in the ET-2 ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Well, after years of procrastination, mounted on three turntables and four spent phono cartridges later. I finally said I’m going to do it. Yes, I decided that it was way past due to clean the gunk out of my ET-2’s manifold. After all, I’ve been r... | |
| What the ship just happened? FedEx drops boxes as well. I am leery of buying an amp without original boxes but no way would I pack an amp the way you have described. Yes, FedEx or UPS, it doesn't matter. Heavier the item the the rougher it will be handled. A few yeas ... | |
| Opinions Please: Daily proliferation, several dealer/distributor ads,.. I agree. If you are a small-time seller, your ad usually needs to be seen (and sold) within the first 72 hours or so otherwise, because of Audiogon FIFO listing system, it just gets buried under the barrage of dealer ads and the number views drop... | |
| Squeezebox user with duplicate albums I'm using Logitech Media Center for my my Squeezebox devices as well, and I've had good luck getting the titles and artist tags to be correct and uniform using TagScanner which is free, very complete, and easy to use. You may also check at or fiel... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Using your DEQX as your DAC works very well and is highly recommended. Al, I would bet that with a little more configuration tweaking you will be able to get even better results than you have now. Ultimately, you many need to take a few more speak... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? For those thinking about measuring outside, for practical reasons I don't do it. The last DEQX calibration that I was involved was with a pair Apogee Full Range and at 300 pounds each they ain't going anywhere! Measuring outside lengthens the time... | |
| Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye" I haven't heard the vinyl yet, but every darn song on the HE CD sounds great to me, and I've listened to it a number of times now. Listening to it here in Tallahassee, I find it to have a convincing soundstage and presence, and overall I just find... | |
| FYI: VPI HW-19 motors Try as set of four Herbie's Big Tall Extra-Firm Tenderfeet to replace the suspension. The are the best that I've found for my HW-19 MkIV (TNT platter). The Herbie's Tenderfeet were a noticeable improvement over both the original springs and the VP... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I've been a DEQX owner since 2012 and I'm now on my second DEQX (HDP Express II) and I completely agree with Drewan77. The DEQX is truly a unique product. For me it was a total game changer coming from a very good analog electronic crossover, but ... | |
| B&K 7250 won't turn on We don't know, will it turn on without having anything hooked up to it? If it does, the first thing that you should do is check for significant DC voltage across each pair of speaker terminals. Less DC, or closer to zero is better, but idealy it s... | |
| RIP Panny Plasmas Yep Dbphd, you are right! According to the specs, my Pioneer PDP-6070 60" plasma display uses 455 watts and I can attest that it can warm a room like a powered-up Jeff Rowland Model 5 power amp. But as good as the image is on this plasma display, ... |
