| Dick's / Dave's picks That May 1977 period is hard to find on a CD that isn't a bootleg. The Cornell show, the Boston show before it and the Buffalo show after are being slighted in my opinion. I wish Dave would find a way to release these on Rhino. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I'm all over the place when it comes to live Dead recordings. But at this stage of my development, I'm hoping to collect the Europe 72 box set. Recently, a friend of mine ripped me a version of the Cincinnati Riverbed show from the 30 Trips set. T... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? I have Quads so that's enough for me when it comes to the ESL's. Maybe I'd have a pair of speakers made using baffled cabinets and Western Electric die cast horns but then I'd have to buy a fork lift. I daydream about the Harbeth line, so their hi... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game Sorry to get into this thread at such a late hour. Hi Lewm, long time no see. I just purchased a Grado Statement Sonata Mono MKII and for what I listen to, it's wonderful. Right now I'm spinning my Archive Productions Elizabethan Songs and the voc... | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks It would be too much for me to part with my ASR Emitter II Exclusive version Blue amp. I'd probably choose a different pair of speakers if it came to that.However, I need to be careful! | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks That's interesting and I do know that even valve amps blew up ESL's on a regular basis. So this must have been Quad's reassuring answer to a farsighted concern.The 2905's are supposed to shut down when they detect loud volumes but my amp has alway... | |
| Cartridge Alignment Cleeds, I was told differently by the manufacturer of the amp and phono stage so that's why I grounded it that way. Nevertheless, having the cable and ground fixed seems like the better solution. | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks Bdp24, what are Quad voltage clamps? | |
| Cartridge Alignment First, let me add that the Grado mono I'm now using is an upgrade from the Grado ME+ mono that was on there before. My thought is that a wood cartridge body should produce less hum than a plastic cartridge body so blaming the current Grado doesn't... | |
| Cartridge Alignment I'm going to have to take my table to an expert as I'm getting a supreme amount of hum. I lined up the cartridge but the table needs attention. And my intuition tells me that a Jelco 750 D tonearm in place of the stock TP-16 MK 1 will resolve my c... | |
| Cartridge Alignment I received news that I'm getting a Statement Sonata 2 Mono as they are now making Series 2 cartridges but here are the specs for the series 1 stereo.Grado Spec's,Frequency Response: 10Hz - 60kHzPrincipal: MIChannel Separation at 1KHz: 40dBInput Lo... | |
| Cartridge Alignment The Mint is just outside of my range due to repairing a Quad ESL. I thought initially that I could purchase a Dr. Feickert protractor but that was before I arched a speaker panel.I've read in many places that the Geodisc just roughed in the null p... | |
| Cartridge Alignment I looked at the tonearms which Mint services and no Thorens TP 16 MK1. Besides the $110.00 is out of my reach at the moment. I have considered a universal AVID which is $60.00. Nevertheless, thanks Andrew9405, I may contact Mint concerning my tone... | |
| FLAC, WAV or AIFF question Yes Spencer, I agree but I didn't realize that V was for version. Anyhow, the new A+ (and there was just an upgrade a couple of days ago) is better than the 1.5 version however, it was possible to drop a list from iTunes into the A+ 1.5 menu and r... | |
| What to upgrade first for better sound quality? Or maybe contact Musical Sounds about there demo ASR Mini Basis Exclusive MK II;http://www.musicalsounds.us/opbxspl.phpAnyhow, I would agree with Johnnyb53 that a better phono amp would deliver better results from the gear that you already have. |
