| Problem with Recent Activity / Virtual Systems ? Tammy, it was back for a good while, now it's been gone for about a week now. Will it be back? Thanks, islandmandan | |
| Why are we back to no Virtual Audio again? I'm talking about the section where we discuss our audio systems. It was missing for about a year, and just came back not too long ago. Now it's gone again, at least it has been. | |
| What now? You already mentioned Tannoys, which would be my recommendation. 75 yo Tannoy listener and lover. Regards, Dan | |
| A cunundrum of sorts... any ideas? I bought a used Arcam AV 9 pre-pro that I use for multi-channel and home theater, and I have a nice Herron two channel line stage that I use for analog and two channel digital. It all works great together for me and sounds fine too. I've been usi... | |
| Questions to Klipsch Heresy IV owners A good friend of mine, who is now 89 years old, bought some original Heresy's that are in beautiful condition, on integrated stands that are beautiful as well. He was not happy with them at first, so he made some inquiries regarding the crossovers... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? PD and Russ, Yes, we do our best. We have to have the mindset that being happy is our responsability, enjoying life is what we should try to do, you can't buy happiness, but you can sure have it, and take it with you (and give it away as well). ... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? Yep I've lived in the same shack here on West Beach for 29 years. I've had plenty of time to work on my system in all these years. Had to have my woodstove moved to a side wall so my system could be located on the end wall of my living room. Ho... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? Patrick, I read you're in Washington State, I wonder, where? I've been ensconsed on Whidbey Island since 1971. It's a hard place to meet other A-philes, I'm the only one I know on the 63 miles-long island. Poor me. I do love my system, though. (... | |
| Cartridges Last night, i pulled my very nice-sounding ART-9 MC cart, and put my Acutex M320 III STR cartridge in. I haven't listened to it lately, but after some adjustments with the settings on my Modwright SWP 9.0 Sig phono stage, I was amazed at hearing ... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? Patrick, may I suggest you go and hear some Tannoys? You may fall in love with them as well (it's been 55 years for me). Regards, Dan | |
| Gallagher has passed away. Yeah, I loved him too. I don't think I've ever laughed more in my life. Genius. Dan | |
| Vintage vs. New, Risk vs. Reward I love my assemblage of old/new, it gives me the sound I can live with until I won't be around anymore to enjoy it. Regards, Dan | |
| Streaming At 75 now, I have a hate-hate relatioship with computers. I know I'm not very smart, but computers make me feel even more stupid. The last thing I would ever do would be to have to rely on a computer to listen to the music I love so much. Not goi... | |
| Dynavector 507 arm lift assembly on a 501 arm The arm was mounted upside down in the vise. I had wood under the arm lift support to take much of the pressure of the bit on the part being machined. The wood also kept me from having to tighten the vise extremely tight. With the vertcal part of... | |
| Dynavector 507 arm lift assembly on a 501 arm No, that's not a problem. The filings stayed close to where the drilling was happening, and the other saving grace is I have an air compressor that I was able to blow the filings away, making the arm and bearings nice and clean after the drilling ... |
