| Anybody own any direct-to-disc LP's? I have two Harrry James Sheffield albums, "The King James Version" and "Still Harry After All These Years." Both I highly recommend.Relax, have a New Glarus Abt and listen to some Edgar Froese... | |
| Benz Ruby 3 cartridge loading Plato is right on. Lower resistance can take the edge off excessive highs and fill out the lows. Too low a setting results in fat, flabby bass. My table has a Graham 2.2 arm with his IC-30 cable. I ran it at the 475 and 825 ohm settings with a Pas... | |
| Azimuth observations and importance Oops. Disregard my Wallyskater comment. Too much Pliney the Elder or the homebrew equivalent yesterday. I did set azimuth by ear though, trust me.Relax, have Lagunitas Kill Ugly Radio and listen to some Kenny Burrell... | |
| Azimuth observations and importance I'm in Teres' camp at the moment. I purchased a Wallyskater a few years ago and found the method helped ball park a setting, but listening led me tweak it - YMMV.I also remember seeing the lissajous patterns back in the days. I like Elizabeth's id... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant Premier & Tube Amp I use the PPP to supply my tubed MacIntosh C500T preamp and solid state MC402 amp with good results. Transients are very slightly crisper with multiwave, almost imperceptibly.The PPP only has one MW setting and the manual states MW is not for all ... | |
| Any fix for a locked groove? I assume a 'locked groove' means the stylus kept repeating the same groove on every rotation.Some causes:1) A warped record causing the tonearm to skip back into the same groove on every rotation. Might be fixed by slightly increasing stylus track... | |
| Your Best Vinyl Memory Listening to Alice Cooper's 'Unfinished Sweet' (BBB) six times before going for dental work. The dentist gave me a bit more nitrous oxide than usual and I kept hearing the song in my head while the Dr. & hygienist worked. The twist is, it was ... | |
| sounstage too big bad thing I agree with Sounds_real_audio and Sns. Distance between speakers and toe-in worked for me. I had a similar issue after upgrading my preamp. In a small room, my chair was against the wall (couldn't be moved further away). Moving the speakers farth... | |
| ps audio perfect wave transport For more information, refer to their January newsletter. It contains the reasoning behind the price increase and product delay. I can see where delays in release dates and price increases are frustrating to some, but personally, I find the transpa... | |

| correct zerostat technique I agree with Dougdeacon. The instructions that came with the unit I had in the late '70s said exactly that. The idea is to charge the object when pulling the trigger and neutralize that charge with an equal amount of opposite polarity charge when ... | |
| 802D vs 800D vs 803D in Small room with open plan? I haven't heard the diamond tweeter version of these speakers, but 802s are a significant upgrade to the 803s. When I compared them in 1998 on the same system, the 803s had the typical "box" speaker sound to them. The 802s did not. I surmised the ... | |
| is my room small for a pair of B&W 802's It'll be fine. Mine are in a room 16 x 15 x 8 (drywall). It's carpeted and I use 4 Corner busters, 4 Echobusters, 2 pillows in each corner behind speakers and a big cloth couch. Powered by a MC402, it's amazing. I got by with just the Cornerbuster... |
