| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day There's an easy way to avoid all this Quit eating Omaha Steaks? | |
| Tubes becoming hard to get? @rsf507 Another company taking advantage of the situation Uncle Kevin says it is only to discourage hoarding. LOL. | |
| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day I am home quite a bit of the time, but anymore they never ring the bell. I generally find out something has been delivered when I check my email. And those Amazon delivery drivers? Their driving is going to kill people. | |
| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day Fed ex used to bring the stuff I ordered to my front doorstep and not ring the door bell. For the last two orders they delivered, they didn't even make it the front doorstep--they deposited it the orders in front of my garage. (I guess because it... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) All right sorry! I always explain too much. @harpo75 no, not at all! Thank you! I like the sound of tubes when everything is running good, but I really do not have the mind for comprehending a lot of this stuff. It almost sounds like you would... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Backing off the gain knobs gradually until it sounds best (listen carefully) and you are good to go. @avanti1960 I am actually going to try this. With your L and R ’input level’ knobs backed off to where you feel is optimal, where is your ’list... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @xcool the confusion is not your fault. I just would have thought that for a job parts + whatever the hourly rate for labor is would have covered a job. I may be out of touch on that as I really try to farm as little as possible out. Like for The ... | |
| High quality CDs @old_ears and @secretguy I don’t have a $hit load of Chesky discs (as opposed to MFSL & DCC of which I do own a $hit-load of), but I can think of a couple that I own that sound quite nice: Rebecca Pigeon/The Raven and I have a Sarah K C... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @xcool thanks for the info on that. Could you clarify It costs $140 plus parts and labor. I assume that is a typo, but maybe not? $140 + shipping maybe? Anyway, have you been able to just fine tune with the big knob to find your "sweet spot"... | |
| CD Tweaks: An Update @roxy54 I agree with you, and I am staying clear of this tweak. (Although, haha, back in the day, I had no problem using the green pen on every single CD I owned at the time.) And I also don't think that washing a CD with a mild soap should le... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Wow, thanks for all the input, everybody! I need to sit back & digest it. @harpo75 I actually did get this unit with The Ultimate Upgrade installed. As far as the two balance controls, I have kept them maxed out for normal listening and ... | |
| CD Tweaks: An Update I think I remember reading in the literature that came with one of the SACDs that I bought NOT to use cleaners to clean it (and for the life of me I cannot remember if they specified any certain type of cleaner). If one of my red books starts hicc... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Thank you again to all that have offered me input on this. @twoleftears for the moment I will single out your reply as I can answer these questions with concrete answers: There are two issues here, does the volume pot have an optimal operation... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @avanti1960 again, I want to stress that I am not disagreeing or seeking an argument. Only seeking clarification on this subject. So if I use the left & right "input level" pots to control my volume, is that a better thing than using the b... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Thank you all for taking the time to respond & to educate me. (And OOPS! I was wrong about the price of the Rothwells--$109 = about $10 shipping.) |
