| Reference Recordings I have quite a number of RR on vinyl. Absolutely love the Hindemth and Arnold albums. Beautiful music wonderfully recorded. RR jazz offerings from Mike Garson, Tim Brock, The Blazing Redheads are fun tunes in killer sound. The Garson Oxnard Ses... | |
| Mccormack DAC1 vs today’s dacs @uditnaik If your DNA .5 is stock, you will be amazed at the sweetness and openness of the sound once Steve&Co. do their magic. Many considered the original .5 to be the "honey" in the DNA line. Steve will explain the most cost effective op... | |
| Mccormack DAC1 vs today’s dacs OP - Lucky you! If @gdnrbob is selling his soon, you could call Steve at SMc Audio to see what he might do to it to update it. Recently had my DNA-1 upgraded and the workmanship and sound is killer. | |

| Speaker vibration isolation @georgehifi My speakers are sitting on plush carpet with pad over a "floating concrete slab". I too believed that coupling (spiking) them through the carpet to the slab would be the way to go...until it wasn't.After decoupling there is no going ... | |
| Speakers positionning Wow. That is extreme! I have never heard a successful set-up with such an extreme degree of toe-in. What speakers are you using and in what type of space? | |
| Can anyone help me remove a stuck fuse holder from my tube amp? I just did this the other day to remove a hard to reach (with my fingers) fuse. I used a piece of wire that would bend to my will and looped it under the fuse, grabbed a hold of both ends and pulled. Out it popped! | |
