| Those magical days when the HVAC is off Three years ago we purchased a 30+ year-old, custom-built home. Last month we replaced the windows - with 'unbalanced-pane' windows. These unbalance windows have a 2mm pane of glass on the exterior-side and a 3 mm pane of glass on the interior-si... | |
| ARC M300 MKII call for help OP - Sorry to hear that those parts are no longer available - They have been in service a long time. This forum is a great resource for locating parts & service. Good Luck! (To those complaining/inferring "ARC won't repair...", please kno... | |
| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables I have owned a Classic II for ~10 years, playing approximately 700 LPs per year. It is a workhorse (with proper maintenance). It is my 'daily driver'. The unpivot design needs frequent calibration/checks of the cart (VTA, azimuth, etc.) to keep ... | |
| Deals Gone Bad +2 secretguy & cleeds I will NEVER use PayPal Friends & Family, no matter how inexpensive the item. I hope this thread informs everyone at AG about the shady-side of internet sales. captaindidactic Sorry, but this means I will avoid th... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR bdp24 - QRP (Quality Record Pressing, ... is making the best LP's the world has ever seen... That simply nonsense... Perhaps, in some, more limited LP collections AP is best, but not in mine. I own, or have owned, LPs from most of the common lab... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR Sorry, but it seems that the train has gone off the tracks... First, gross generalizations about SQ are entirely inappropriate and misleading. The SQ of both of these companies' LPs are highly variable, and for logical reasons. Neither company p... | |
| Modern Covers of Classics For me, covers are always at a disadvantage. Memories create a strong bias, so it is difficult for me to prefer a cover... With that said, I found TWO covers that, for me, are as good as or better than the original recordings. Interestingly, b... | |
| Tube or solid state phono stage? I listen to Rock, Classical, Jazz, and a little Pop and am very happy with my system. I currently use a Hanna ML (MC) > Zesto Andros 1.2 Phono > ARC 6SE Pre... The sound is very neutral, clean and full range without being analytical. I nev... | |
| Vibration dampening OP - "I am using spikes on thin carpet with concrete underneath." It seems that you are 'coupling' your sub to the floor (and secondarily, the walls), not isolating the sub (which is quite different). The aforementioned suggestions of using spri... | |
| Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal? @emergingsoul Thanks for the thread... My Vandy's weigh 175lb each. I seldom move them, but some great sliders may change that. Also - 3 ton? Is that melodrama or just a mistake? 1 metric ton = 2204 lbs. So, a pair of 520 lb. speakers we... | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 Just a final thought... Remember to allow plenty of run-time for break-in (40-50 hours?) before considering the sonic attributes of your new cables. | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 You ask a great question. My experience has been that great-sounding speaker cables can be found at every price point: low $, medium $, high $ and truly insane $. As a testimonial - My ARC Ref 6SE preamp now has 200+ hours on it, and as it has ... | |
| Isolation devices- to use 3 or 4 footers? I use 4 footers on my Preamp and 3 footers on my Amp because my manufacturer used 4 footers on my Preamp and 3 footers on my Amp. That being said, I slightly off-set one of the footers to help mitigate any tiny standing-waves that the electronics... |
