| Crossover-less Speakers For anyone who hasn't read Aktchi's comment above, please scroll up and read it. It's one of the best posts on the site. Off-topic, but important.-Dusty | |
| Have You Heard The Sound Burger? It looks like the Trax is just a tiny turntable, whereas the Sound Burger is a clamp with a tonearm that swings out from the body of the device. Have you ever seen these for sale anywhere? Do you think this would be helpful when buying used record... | |
| Re-arranged Room Sounds Awful...How to Improve? Has anyone tried the room organizing web application I posted? I highly recommend everyone to create your room and post it in your system. I would like to see how other people are dealing with square rooms.-Dusty | |
| Re-arranged Room Sounds Awful...How to Improve? A lot of great advice and opinions to consider so far.Pauly -- I'm using a really cool little room organizer web application that I found on a furniture site. Here is the site: http://raymourflanigan.com/room_planner/resources/icovia.aspxIf you re... | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? Our local laboratory was out of Accelerators, so I had to settle for a Flux Capacitor. The only problem is that I have heard these units can be very accident prone, and shouldn't be used during lightning storms. If anyone can go back to the future... | |
| Actual Home Theater Explosions I don't think it's just about adding a second sub regardless of room location. If you want to rattle the vases in more than one room with two subwoofers in one room, you would have to turn those suckers way too far up. This way you spread the bass... | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's Would anyone recommend mixing in a little alcohol with the glue to reduce the viscosity and surface tension to get it down deeper into the grooves? | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? From what I know about Quantum Tunneling, I gather that he took the cord, violated the principles of classical mechanics by passing it through a wall, and then hooked it up. Just another audio miracle from "David Blaine's House of High-End Sound a... | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... I had a Linn Basik turntable with a Basik Plus tonearm and Van den Hul wiring. I switched it out for a totally unmodified, only 'good' condition Technics SL-1200 mkII "just to see what happens" and was instantly converted. You can find both tables... | |
| Best Value Speaker Model for the Buck? NHT 2.5 is the best value of speaker that I ever had. You can get a pair used for around $500, and they will stand up to nearly any speaker within $1500 of their new price tag ($1200). The value gets better as you move up the line to the 2.9 as we... | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's I believe they want the dust and grease to be removed so that the glue will stick to the surface and not to the particles. Since that's our goal with records, then we're in the clear. That's how I interpret it anyway. | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's Sidssp -- As far as a sticky pad goes, I use a Nagoaka roller that employs the same principle as what you posted, but it doesn't do nearly the same kind of job that glue does. The glue actually creates a bond with the particles within the grooves,... | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's It sounds like this is a method that some people actually use, and no one has any horror stories or negative experiences of any kind! For those of you who have tried this, what is your method for getting the peel started? I've used a pin to get un... | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's Correct. I will only be using things that I am ok with wrecking permanently.Results so far: there has been some initial success. The real trick is leaving a a little trail of glue off of the record so that when it dries you have a "tag" to pull up... | |
| Cartridge upgrades for Technics SL-1200MK2? John, I was in your exact same shoes 3 months ago. I have a Technics SL-1200MK2, and I was using a Shure M97xE for a few months. When it was time to upgrade the cartridge I went with a Dynavector 10x5 that I found used here on Audiogon, and I can ... |
