| Curing ground loop hum with a power conditioner ? It probably won't help. My experience is that ground loops are very difficult to diagnose and eradicate. I have tried power conditioners, RF stoppers, cheater plugs, etc, and nothing works, other than finding the offending piece of equipment.I adm... | |
| Why low sensitivity speakers? Karls,Can you (or anyone else) explain why good bass, cabinet size and sensitivity are tradeoffs? Thanks. | |
| Linn Ikemi CD Player vs. Other Lower Cost Options When I auditioned CDP's 2 years ago, I listened to seven or eight. Although I ended up getting a great deal on the Ikemi, I almost went for the the Arcam FMJ CD23. It was, to my ears, a very close competitor to the Ikemi. If I hadn't got the great... | |
| Best used amp 6K;Gamut,Gryphon Krell .. You might want to check out the Plinius SA-250 MkIV. It's a wonderful amp. 250 Watts/channel@8ohms, 450@4ohms. 70 amps short term current capacity. It will drive any speakers. Terrific bass. close to tube like sound. | |
| Researching an Accordion Music. Please help. Have you ever heard of Guy Klucevsek? He is a wonderful accordionist who does Jazz/Klezmer/traditional/Polka/Eastern European/other stuff. He has about 8 or 10 albums out (unfortunately, all on CD only). I could recommend his albums "Accordance" w... | |
| Lyra Helikon SL-Worth upgrade? While we're talking about the Helikon, I've been thinking about upgrading from a Benz Glider Low output to the Helikon. I have a Linn LP12/Ekos and Linto phono stage. The Linto has 63dB of gain. Should I get the SL or the regular?My Linn dealer sa... | |
| Volume Control? Check out the Creek OBH-10 or OBH-12. The 10 is a single input volume control. The 12 is a small passive preamp with 3 inputs and a tape loop. Both are extremely quiet and can be controlled by a remote. I think you can find the 10 used for about $... | |
| What's better 100w class a or 200w class ab? Try to find out the output at clipping. There are a lot of amps out there that will drive demanding speakers at > 4 ohms continuous output. The question is: how will it handle the short term dips below 1 ohm? Regardless of impedence ratings (wh... | |
| Best "Village Vanguard" or "Blue Note" recording Check out Eric Dolphy "Out to Lunch" - WOW!!! | |
| What to do when buyer claims sellers item broken? I had a similar situation with a pair of speakers I sold a few months ago. Fortunately the repair cost was relatively cheap ($42.00). Because I wanted to protect my feedback rating, I paid the repair bill on the buyer's promise to cooperate with m... | |
| Adding A Remote to a Pre-Amp I don't think it would be practical to install a motor for the volume control for a number of reasons. Probably most importantly, you have to be very careful how you would hook up the motor power supply as it can cause major noise problems if not ... | |
| Jitter Question on Dual Deck CDR Sean,No I don't. Remember that the upgrades you mention are upgrades which can positively affect playback in the *analog* domain or perhaps during the D to A process. But a D to D copy is simply not an audio event.As a silly example, imagine you h... | |
| Jitter Question on Dual Deck CDR Whatever distortion introduced in a CDR after a digital to digital reproduction, it is not jitter. By definition, jitter is the noise introduced as a result of clock inaccuracies in the D to A or A to D process.I suspect there might be some debate... | |

| Fraud alert Fair warning to Audiogoners. Asa,You seem to know an awful lot about abstract theory of social systems. But to bring it down to earth, are you suggesting that Glreno's inadvertent mention of the ethnicity of his suspects was a "general observation on the norms of a given cult... |
