| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Yes, this is a valid point. I'm in Cincinnati now and wanted to pick up a station in Dayton and in Yellow Springs but cannot with a dipole antenna. Tiffin to Detroit would be more than the distance between Cincinnati to Dayton. As stated initially... | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Sure enough, cheap thrills no longer interest me. | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Thanks Sean,Much appreciated advice as your comments add a perspective that's obviously founded upon practical sense. I'll seek out other antenna options. | |

| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise Yes, I would buy a new refrigerator if I could afford to do so but I am saving for a good mono cartridge and the refrigerator came with the apartment. Fortunately I don't own a dishwasher or the noise levels would be twice as frustrating. I'm plan... | |
| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise Yes, that totally explains the best approach to the problem in the kitchen. I'll opt first to place a floor mat of synthetic material under the refrigerator and then go from there. I'm also cogitating about placing free standing panels behind my e... | |
| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise Thanks Elizabeth,Primarily what I had anticipated but wasn't totally certain. The only difference is that I considered sheets of foam core and sound proof styrofoam being as it's light weight but now that you've mentioned it, so is felt. It looks ... | |
| What Can You Do With A Thorens? Yes, I'm referring to purchasing a cable that runs from the backside of the turntable with what I typically believe to be a DIN termination, to 2 RCA's and a ground wire which then plugs into the back of my ASR Mini Basis Exclusive. From the ASR p... | |
| What Can You Do With A Thorens? Thanks Hifihvn! I appreciate being guided in the right direction. I'm guessing however that a different phono cable might give me a noticeable improvement. I'm hesitant however about spending allot of money on a TD145, say any more than $400.00 fo... | |
| Internet radio stations that sound really good I don't know if they've already been mentioned but 2 stations;1) WDR3 out of Cologne Germany at 256 kbps2) BBC Radio3 via iTunes Radio at 320kbps 'so close yet so faraway'. | |
| Do I need a DAC? OK, the reason that I'd personally choose a DAC over a CD player is that my favorite radio stations are across the pond and I'm discovering that while local radio stations are compressing their signals, European radio stations are moving towards h... | |
| Audioquest colorado sound to bright I have a pair of Audioquest Columbia 72v running from my Thorens TT to an ASR phono stage and I am never fatigued by their performance. I'm about to replace my Grado mono cartridge with the Ortofon Cadenza Mono cartridge but plan to stay with the ... | |
| What's your profession? Age? I'm a male with a BFA & MA who's a 49 year old gallery contracted (otherwise published) painter, sculptor, and a pedagogue, and sometimes substitute teacher. As with artists in general, living as 'the other' lends itself easily to methods of c... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I'm using a totally upgraded ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive version blue and my digital source is an Ayre QB9 DAC with High Diamond interconnects and speaker cable. My analogue is an ASR Mini Basis Exclusive but only with a Thorens TD-145 turntable with ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I own a pair of the Quad 2905's and they have exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I bought them because I listen mainly to Classical music and more specifically, to chamber music or music for solo instrument. I was initially concerned t... |
