| One's trash is someone else's treasure PS - amending my 2x asking price suggestion...if you had a good idea of real market value a fair approach would have been to split that price. You are indeed providing a service by educating as to the true worth of his Linn. Split the price. Both ... | |
| One's trash is someone else's treasure I don't think it was Gemini's obligation to do someone ele's market research. On the other hand, for the sake of conscience it might have been good to offer more than asked (2x the selling price?)...still a bargain I think. In any case, no one for... | |
| Any Putumayo fans? Tubemiser - I am clueless about Dan Storper and Putumayo world music. What's it about? Clue me in. | |
| 1A fuse instead of 1/2A fuse: any problem? Sorry - I lost track of your original issue. HiFi Tuning Fuses from the Cable Company might be an option. They appear to have an 0.5 amp option in 2 different size fuses. I used a Radio Shack fuse temporarily and then switched to one of these for ... | |
| 1A fuse instead of 1/2A fuse: any problem? Ezekiel makes a good point about "fast blow" vs "slow blow". I did need to replace a fuse at one point and Radio Shack did have them. | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? Hi Ryder - just to be clear, Peter Gabriel is the artist. "So" is the name of the CD. "Mercy Street" is the title of track 6. | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? Ryder - thanks for the tip. I will have to check out things by 'Fourplay'. PG's "So" is old. If you don't have it, find it and give a listen. Hope you will enjoy it. | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? Ryder - Is that Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"? Don't know Fourplay. Will have to look them up. What do you like about the track that makes it good for reference use? FWIW "Mercy Street" on So serves that purpose for me. | |
| 1A fuse instead of 1/2A fuse: any problem? If you need to deviate you want something that will blow sooner rather than later. A 1A fuse won't blow as soon as a 0.5 amp fuse. It will tolerate a higher "spike" that might damage your equipment. Replace fuses as recommended by the OEM or with ... | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? I use Peter Gabriel's "So" as a warm up and reference CD.The more I listen, the more I realize what a wonderful recording this is...(i.e., music, lyrics, arrangements, and production). I have played this CD uncountable times. | |
| What music do you & your spouse/partner both love? Sad for me, can't really get my wife to give time to serious music listening...though she has supported my hifi purchases. We do both like Yes & Crowded House & saw both bands in concert. But for her music, is more something to listen to i... | |
| CD player vibration control .................. Rotarius- I agree that rigid materials do not provide damping. Rigid materials will transmit vibrations and at best change the frequency of the transmitted vibrations.Flip flops are typically made of "elastomeric" materialsand are CHEAP. | |
| CD player vibration control .................. cut up flip flops (I ain't lying) | |
| Power cable that will "calm" digital Dunno if it will fix the issues you have w/digital but I just got a "Black Hole CD mat" as referenced by Listener57. It seems to make a difference to me. I am also running JPS speaker cables and CD interconnects. Did a Belkin/Marinco diy power cor... | |
| Spare change on a speaker cabinet Theo is right. This is reminiscent of the Totem Beaks. In fact someone on AudioGon posted (facetiously, I think) a note about using stacked coins in place of the beaks. |
