| Odd distortion on new LP, and also replacements Sounds like a pressing problem and probably has nothing at all to do with your rig or cleanliness of the record.When you really get back into vinyl, I would suggest looking at the Audio Intelligent cleaning formulas, Disc Doctor brushes, and the V... | |
| Monarchy DIP Question If this is a 24/96 DIP, it may be jumpered to th 96 kHz setting. It your D/AC is not capable of this high a signal then it will cause what you are talking about. It can also damage the D/AC and your speakers. If you have the instructions they will... | |
| Favorite Lesser Known Sax Players Of the current players, Richard Elliot is pretty good. Some of the harder to find that are excellent are Bobby Militello and Bruce Johnston. And I think that any list should include Grover Washington, Jr. and Kirk Whalum. | |
| anyone know anything about marsh? The Marsh stuff is not bad. You can buy their line from Audio Advisor. Their policy is basically thirty days, no questions asked returns. Can't get much better auditioniong than that. | |
| which dac dack, scott nixon, or other DAC $600? I use and would recommend the McCormack DAC-1. It is very musical and the sound is very balanced and pleasing. You should be able to buy two of them used for the $600.00. | |
| McCormack DAC-1 Deluxe I have used a DAC-1 for a long time and find it to be very musical. I have auditioned a number of the 'latest, high-tech, upsampling, zillion bit, high priced' D/AC's along the way and have always gone back to the McCormack for the pleasing way th... | |
| How to clean Analysis Plus T1 spades ? Look at www.amusicdirect.com. They have a number of contact cleaners and conditioners. Most of the staff there are audiophiles and you can call them and see what they recommend. | |
| Causes of long term listening fatigue? The biggest cause of listener fatigue is worrying too damned much about your gear. | |
| cartridge demagnetizing vs. no demagnetization This is certainly a topic with divided trains of thought. I have heard cases both ways. For a few years I have used the Cardas Frequency Sweep LP to deflux my cartridge and have been very pleased with the results. This has avoided having to use a ... | |
| I'm a little stumped Magnepan's sound thin and bright to me, too. I heard them several times, with several different amplifiers, and in several different room, and with different types of music. They've always sounded that way to me. I have always thought that the The... | |
| Anyone think direct tv music channels sound good? If you run the toslink out to a Monarchy Audio DIP/Upsampler and then to a D/AC, they actually sound real close to CD. | |
| VPI 16.5 I will evaporate over time when used in small quantities. However, if you read the manual that came with the 16.5, you will see that you are to tip the unit backward to allow the used fluid to drain from the catch pan. If you were to clean a numbe... | |
| Information on IC´s and speaker cables needed. The best solution is always to try as many different things cables as you can. A good way to do that is to browse through the listings here on AudiogoN, find some things that are interesting, buy them, if you like them, keep them; if not, list the... | |
| Better Transport then a NAD 541i From time to time, a CAL Delta will show up on AudiogoN for under $300.00. This is what I am using and have had good results. You should be able to sell the NAD for around $225.00. | |
| Kimber 8TC bi-wire opinions... The 8TC is very good in the right application. It doesn't seem to be a real good match if you are using 'quick' interconnects such as Nordost or Goertz or Mapleshade. I use primarily Nordost and Mapleshade and found that the 4TC actually sounded b... |
