| Rega RB300 Troubleshooting Pops -> there is a small hole but it only holds the screw temporarily. When dialing the plate back, the spring will eventually pop the screw loose. I'll probably have to get a VTF gauge.Onetwothreego -> What's the procedure to get the spring... | |
| Santana Ultra Disc II 24K Gold by Mobile Fidelity Lefhan-> Bought mofi's new reissue of Abraxas on CD so I'm eager to give it a listen when it arrives sometime this week. I own the original standard release so it should be a given this reissue should blow it away. | |
| New Tube Owner If I were you, I'd start fresh with a whole new set of tubes. That way you're ensuring maximum sound quality and not relying on the integrity of the existing tubes. I bought my amp used and almost all of the tubes were on their last legs when, to ... | |
| I think my hearing is damaged. Does anyone know of a drug that improves hearing? | |
| Best recordings to demonstrate soundstage? My absolute favourite (for not only soundstage but overall quality) has to be Chuck Mangione's "Children of Sanchez." I only have the vinyl version so I'm not sure how it sounds on CD. If your looking for great solo guitar, try anything by Ray Mon... | |
| Santana Ultra Disc II 24K Gold by Mobile Fidelity According to mofi, they're reissuing "Abraxas" as well. | |
| tubes going microphonic always same channel??? I would suggest tube dampeners. Eliminated microphonics in my amp. | |
| Mac mini vs Macbook PC audio sound quality I doubt it. The source files (MP3, WAF, AIFF,etc.) and the DAC will make all the difference. | |

| YOUR Favorite Bookshelf/Monitor below $500 I'm currently enjoying a pair of Energy C-3's. A tad light in the bottom end but enjoyable nonetheless. Price range is around $300 to $400. | |
| Another speaker wire possibility at Home Depot??? I pulled the following link from a previous Agon thread on this very subject: http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#introductionIt seems resistance is the most important factor of any speaker cable. I had a pair of 12AWG DIY cables with the t... | |
| Ipod and quality sound Cmo, your friend is correct. Here's a September 2007 quote from noted computer insider, Robert X. Cringely from his website:This time independent testers are finding the new iPods have lower audio quality than the iPods that preceded them. Perhaps... | |
| Why is the industry so lame? Rolling Stone has been predicting all year long the death of the CD in favor of inferior MP3 digital downloads. Even recording techniques have been taking a turn for the worst (ie. dynamic compression). Check out The Death of High Fidelity in Roll... | |
| Listening for tube degradation I've considered moving towards a SS amp as a result of this or investing in a tube tester. I get paranoid as well because I'm never sure if I'm getting optimum performance. I love the sound of tubes but I'm not sure if it's worth the maintenance e... | |
| How do i hook up mac mini to projector? Plug the video output of the mini (DVI/VGA port) into the projector and voila!!! Mac's rarely need to be manually configured, it should pretty much be plug-and-play. |
