| How to isolate aurios to reduce glare? I will second (or third) the above ideas relating to the replacement of the glass shelf. I experimented pretty extensively with 1/2" glass as shelf material and it is not bad (better, in my opinion than marble or granite), but it is pretty expensi... | |
| Has anyone upgraded power cord connectors? Ernie: I beg to differ with you on the receptacles being "remarkably identical". There are pretty substantial "build quality" differences between, say, the Arrow Hart (Cooper), Hubbell and Pass and Seymour and what I would say are major difference... | |
| PC for small IEC socket... The Harmonic Tech adapter is excellent. I've used one now for about 2 years. A very tight fit at both the player and standard iec end. Also quite capable of allowing the character of different cords to flow through (I've used 4 different power cor... | |
| Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets The cryoed Hubbell 5262 that Virtual Dynamics is doing has every right to be an excellent receptacle, although I haven't heard one. It is simply a 15 amp version of the Hubbell 5362-the only difference is that the 5362 will accept a 20 amp plug. O... | |
| alternatives to spikes on wood floors? You could try Vibrapods, that's what I use between my floorstanders and a piece of laminated glass on carpet over hardwood, suspended floor. Sounds very good to me.http://www.soundstage.com/synergize/synergize011999.htmhttp://www.vibrapod.com/Revi... | |
| Phillips 962 & 963 No need to even wait. Just got an e-mail from Oade Brothers saying they're in stock. Unfortunately, I'm a bit tapped out right now. | |
| Phillips 962 & 963 They are not at all the same. I would wait for the 963; it should be far superior to the 962 in both video and audio performance. | |
| Is this for real? "Demagnetize" is the word used on the disc I own and the word used in the review that Sam Tellig used in a December/97 Stereophile article relating to what the Densen disc did. I'm not really the technical type, so if "demagnetize" is incorrect te... | |
| Is this for real? The disc I have suggests that there is a build-up of residual magnetism within cables, circuit boards and copper wiring. That magnetism may also be present in spades, other connectors or solder for that matter; who knows? Sam Tellig, in a review o... | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? This is definitely "generational". My list of distinctive, instantly recognizable voices would be (not necessarily in order of talent or ability):ElvisSinatraBillie HolidayMuddy Watersand, to a lesser extent, because his voice has changed so much ... | |
| Is this for real? Yes, it is typical of the "both sides". We have two people who have used the product and think it works, and two that haven't and think it doesn't. Now if someone wants to chime in who has used a product like this and think it doesn't work, I'm ha... | |
| What are the best live acts? I haven't seen the Stones since '76 but I bet they are still a great live show from the video I've seen of them. | |
| Is this for real? I've been using one I purchased about 6 years ago for about $15 with excellent results. Has a demagnetizing tone which I use about once a week, a burn in track (which I have used numerous times and works quite well), and a cleaning track (brushes ... | |
| Power Cords - Pixie Dust? Bob: Just to clarify things, I haven't actually replaced the cord on my table, as it's a bit complicated. I have an older Michell Gyrodek; the power cord connects with a very weird 3 pin connector I've never seen anywhere else essentially right at... | |
| Audiolab 8000T faceplate bulbs When they were "Audiolab" bulbs, they probably only cost a buck or two! You have to hand it to those Tag McLaren boys! If you haven't sent the money, I'd try Artech to see if they had any in stock. |
