| new eagles album Nrchy - are you kidding?Sonically, live "Hell Freezes Over" is amazing. Songs on "Desperado" are great - as with other albums.Curious where you're coming from. | |
| Affordable Power Cords Consider the DIY route. See Parts Express for an easy to follow procedure (plus the necessary parts). | |
| what kind of audiophile are you ? I think I fit best in whatever cateory Leedistad's, Mrjstark's, and Timrhu's comments suggest. I want a system that makes good sounds at an affordable price. Accuracy,instrumental realism etc don't interest me as much as the music itself and the "... | |
| Hifi Tuning Fuses Douglas S. - Note past tense; emphasis on "HAD been very skeptical....". I've definitely come around in my opinion about cables. No opportunity to do A/B testing where I am but based on reviews (I have found TNT Audio to be really helpful) and aff... | |
| Hifi Tuning Fuses I purchased one from The Cable Co. for my JoLida 502B. I didn't really expect to hear an improvement and was surprised that I did. I'd made some other changes around the same time so wasn't altogether what to attribute to the fuse. More recently, ... | |
| Loud bad noises Replaced the Cambridge CDP with a Sony from the home theater. After ~2 hrs the static/zipping noise was back. It's not the CD laser. Next up, need time to replace the digital cable see if that might be the problem. 2ndarily pull out the tube buffe... | |
| Loud bad noises Thanks again to everyone.Satch - haven't pulled out the MF tube buffer just yet. That was my first suspect as some older threads had indicated noise from this piece. After some futher communication with A'gon posters - I don't think what I'm exper... | |
| Loud bad noises Thanks all. I will try these "maintenance" suggestions on the CDP. Not to string out this thread but I did switch out the Cambridge for a Sony DVD/CD player I had in the home theater. Twice last night on start up of a disk or track I heard a brief... | |
| Loud bad noises Will do Eldatford. I almost hope it is the CDP. Just bought the DAC used and don't want to think it was faulty or is now faulty. | |
| Loud bad noises Celtic66 - Thanks for the response. The Cambridge does have some years on it. Do you think a laser failing is more likely than a malfunction of the DAC? The noise is centered, coming from both channels simulaneously. I was concerned the DAC wasn't... | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? To Shardorne's point...1) is it possible marking the perimeter reduces error and allows more bits to be read resulting in louder volume? (I'm not an EE and have only the vaguest of notions about how CDs work...I'm asking because I want to know...n... | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? Cmk - Thanks for the reply. I'll check into "Slinkylinks" (Sorry for the delay replying...lost track of this thread and didn't know I'd gotten a response.)GH | |
| Best short-lived band? The Romantics. "What I Like About You" is still such a great tune...makes me smile everytime I hear it - even if being used in a commercial. | |
| Brass door knobs as footers Hi Gonzo1- No, I did not encounter that problem. The Dayton cone studs were (by memory) shorter than the threaded legs of my stock TT footers. Compare lengths in your case. Are you using a Technics table? Make sure the studs that come with the con... | |
| Brass door knobs as footers You are very welcome and glad to have contributed somemthing to someone on Audiogon. This has been a very helpful site to me. re the vibration "evacuation" concept in practice - it's amazin', ain't it!Hope we all continue to be able to enjoy the m... |
