| JMlab Electra 907be Funny this would come up. I was in Atlanta on business this week and happened to drop in Evolution in Duluth, who had a pair of these set up. Of course the source, amplification, and cabling equipment wer all different from mine and the speakers m... | |
| CD Tweaks and Longterm Damage I have been using Auric Illuminator for all of the several years that it has been out. If it has caused any damage to any of my CD's, then I haven't noticed it yet. | |
| What happened to Discwasher? I have several bottles that are about one year old. I bought a record cleaning machine and will probably not use all of them in my lifetime. I would be will to sell these if you are interested. Please email me if you are. | |
| Should i buy a cassette based on lab test's? I use the Maxell and have tried the TDK. I thought that the Maxell reproduced further extended highs and tighter, cleaner bass. You may want to try one of the TDK tapes on your recordings equipment and compare the sound of the two on your playback... | |
| Cables and Loud Hum The Nordost Blue Heaven has almost no shielding which makes it very sensitive to any interference. I use the the Blue Heaven and Red Dawn in my audio system, but found that the system had to be well away from any tv, antenna wire, etc. I called No... | |
| Jazz for relaxation I would suggest 'Beyond The Missouri Sky' by Pat Matheny and Charlie Haden, both Missouri boys. Two acoustic instruments and very melodic. You should be able to find it at Tower, Barnes & Noble, or Borders. | |
| Problems with CDR-audio blanks? I have a Marantz (Superscope) CDR-630. It will only work with the Maxell Music 80 discs that have the bluish-green color on the business side. I have tried several others, including the new black discs, but none have worked. According to Superscop... | |
| MMF 7 help I had a similar problem with my MMF-7. Luckily, I bought it new from a dealer with 40 years of experience with turntables and 20 years of experience with Roy Hall. The cartridge turned out to be bad. Apparently there has been a high failure rate w... | |
| Best power Cords for DAC I have tried a number of different power cords on numerous pieces of equipment over the past thiry years, so I've started to understand a little about what works with what and why. Starting with basics, you are best off having a dedicated circuit ... | |
| A good Budget CDp For $300 you might want to check the AudiogoN listings for a Rotel in good condition. There are usually a few in that price range. | |
| What mat for MMF-5 ? I am using an Audioquest Sorbogel mat on my MMF-7. I understand that there are several other good mats out there, also. Keep in mind that the MMF-7 has an acrylic platter where the MMF-5 has glass. I have not heard the MMF-5 with a mat other than ... | |
| Cartridge-- M/M or M/C In response to the question, I am using the modified Eroica that comes with the MMF-7. I should point out that there was a run of bad cartridges on tables that were manufactured about 8 to 12 months ago. The cantilever would not loosen up and the ... | |
| Cartridge-- M/M or M/C I have been listening to records for 40 years and have had several turntables and a good list of other gear. I, too, am now using the MMF-7. I chose it because it does have a very flowing, balanced sound and a dark background. I auditioned several... | |
| How long should vinyl last? I have records that I bought new over 30 years ago that still sound excellent. The key is to never play a record without cleaning it properly. This is really more important than the equipment, as long as the the equipment is good quality and worki... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Just as an aside, if you are still in posession of any of the power cords that you mentioned, I would be happy to give you a fair price for them. |
