| Buying Without Audition When I was a lot younger, I visited every shop I could get to to listen to speakers and equipment, so I had a notion of what I liked. I think if you are now getting serious with hi fidelity stereo, you should make it a point to go to some audio sa... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Well, I was the first to answer the OP and said I couldn't think of why a fuse could be directional.Since then, I called McCormack (I own a DNA-1)and spoke at length with Pat, who said that I should try the fuses in both directions and see if ther... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Hmm, I can't think fuses would be directional, but I could be wrong.Certainly if they were, there would be markings showing which is way current should flow on the fuse. I have a McCormack Amp and they were very strong praising the Hifi Tuning Sil... | |
| Controlling a PC with Monitor or Smartphone I do the same ejr.I ended up with a nifty used Lenovo Thinkvision wireless monitor that was on Amazon for a great price. It has great resolution, though the software is a little buggy.I got everything set up and now can stream music to my stereo s... | |
| Jazz for late night relaxation Anything by Art Tatum, or Teddy Wilson. Unfortunately, a little pre-hifi, but still good.Esp. Tatum group performances on Pablo. Love for Sale with Lionel Hampton is a masterpiece. | |
| Does anyone know about putting marker on CDs? You could contact RTI and see if their machines could remove the ink.I bought their Pro model to remove scratches and polish my aging discs. | |
| New amp for Vandersteen 2CE As a McCormack fan, I would normally say go with McC.But, as you have the Adcoms, why not upgrade them at MusicalDesign and see if you like them?I had the Adcom 555 running while my DNA-1 was being upgraded by SMc. When the DNA came back, I was ve... | |
| Controlling a PC with Monitor or Smartphone Thanks, that was what I was looking for.I was pretty sure I needed a monitor for the pc. I am leaning toward a cheap touchscreen around 12-15 inches. Anyone know of one? | |

| Subwoofer cable recommendations The original Vandersteen sub cable has long disappeared, so I had to buy something new.I took Amarg's suggestion and purchased a pair of Cable Solutions cables. I, too, find his comments to be spot on (and I have looked at numerous posts). Thanks,... | |
| LP to Flac Does anyone know of a service that does this? I am in NYS. | |
| Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's JohnnyR, these are in my LR/DR. I can only place them in a couple of positions due to furniture. As they are now positioned, the 3a sigs sound pretty good. I know I could do better, but, as I said there are only a couple of good positions availab... | |
| Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's Johnny, Thanks for the detailed reply.I ended up getting a pair of 2w's from someone in Michigan. He has good feedback, so let's hope for the best.They are about 12 years old or so, so not too old. Amazon delivered Ray Brown, yesterday. I was a ni... | |
| Subwoofer cable recommendations Akg-ca- If I had unlimited funds, I would get what I know to be 'quality' cables, but I got caught up in buying more stuff than I originally thought I needed. I need to cut a few corners until work starts up again...Amarg- thanks for the link. I w... |
