| Rothwell In-Line Attenuators? I agree that anything will affect the sound, but I can't go along with it will always be degraded. In this case we are talking about two high quality resistors, a few solder joints, and an extra connection. I can see where using these could change... | |
| Isolation feet for monitors I'm curious why you feel the need for isolation. Any type of flexible feet will allow the monitors to move about. My experience with monitors is that the more rigidly they are held in place the better they sound. | |
| I'm Very SCARED - Please advise, Cartridge Drop Forget about it, the cartridge shouldn't have a problem with that. A severe lateral blow might be a different story but the cartridge is designed to allow the stylus to have vertical movement. | |
| Pass XA 160 review:life span is 6 years? Is the warranty on the sun transferable to subsequent owners | |
| Rothwell In-Line Attenuators? It's just a couple of passive parts so there is no reason it wouldn't be.If it solves your problem (I'm assuming too much overall gain) and you otherwise are happy with your system then I think they are good way to go. If you can solder you can bu... | |
| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? If the shelf that the turntable sits on moves to the degree that you describe, sorry, hthere isn't a turntable in the world that will work.Go digital. | |
| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? Jeff is right, a turntable with suspension is not designed to reject the type of problems you get from bouncy floors. Wall mount is the way to go. | |

| record storage? Rushton, How did you get that picture to show up in your response? | |
| Effects of magnetic fields Changing the position of your speakers will change how they sound mostly because of how they are interacting with the room and their relationship to your listening position. Im most situations these factors will far outweigh any effects due to mag... | |
| Effects of magnetic fields That's an interesting question. Any flow of electrons has an associated magnetic field. Any magnetic field will have an effect on the flow of electrons in it's vicinity. That's how transformers work and how magnets can affect a picture tube.So the... | |
| How to see if there's DC at my AC outlets? El, I have a Variac that has never buzzed that I noticed, but it is rated at 15 amps and I probably never got close to that limit.Mark, now that I think about it, why are you using a Variac? | |
| How to see if there's DC at my AC outlets? Did you try going around your house and turning everything off to see if it stops? If you are in an apartment it could be your neighbors stuff.Does the variac hum with nothing plugged into it? If it only hums with something plugged into it then so... | |
| How to see if there's DC at my AC outlets? "1ST Setting your voltmeter to DC and plugging it into and AC outlet will probably smoke the unit."There will be no smoke, that will be fine if you want to try it. "2ND Direct Current is not ever present in Alternating Current line nor visa versa.... |
