| Top 5 Cue Joints Stern's was my Uncle Max's place. When Max died his son Hal took it over but it just wasn't the same. It was a Sunday ritual for the family and it was the best. Sniff sniff. | |
| Winamp with ASIO Plugin I believe when properly installed NEITHER the Windows K-mixer nor Winamp volume control will function. Works for me that way. Volume is controlled via preamp. | |
| The disappearing $500 turntable A lightly used non-DJ'd SL1200 WITH the KAB tonearm damper will still keep you under $500. I prefer it the far more expensive SOTA whose place it took in my system. | |
| finally got my system up and running Cambridge 640P. Check the reviews. $169. | |
| I just went up two notches in resolution I have to thank all those whose comments led me to put together my own SL1200/Zupreme/AT150mlx/640p system. Like Johnnyb53 I'm astonished how good this all works together It smokes my finicky old Sota based system at a fraction of the cost. | |
| Citypulse Audio DA2.03e II vs. Benchmark USB DAC1 I have a very occasional loss of connectivity via USB, but very rare. Yeah with lots of USB dacs out there now it's perhaps a box and connection more than necessary these days but it sounds good to me.No preamp for me, I run a modded Trends 10.1 a... | |
| Cartridge/Phono-Pre Break-in? Just of of curiosity Johnnyb53, since we have the same setup (1200 with fluid damper, using a Zupreme headshell), where'd you land in terms of tracking force with the cartridge? | |
| Citypulse Audio DA2.03e II vs. Benchmark USB DAC1 I haven't heard the Benchmark but I'm a quite happy owner of the 2.03e's predecessor the 7.2x with some modded caps and power supply (by Discovery Hi-Fi in Bangkok). I bypass the Citypulse's volume pot. Long, long break-in period but sounds terrif... | |
| Cartridge/Phono-Pre Break-in? Knumbskull calling. Rlwainwright was on the right track. It was the most obvious thing -- I had the damn thing plugged into the MC rather than the MM jack of the 640p. Duh. Should have been the first thing I checked. Well thanks everyone for your ... | |
| Digital Out Dell 1525 To DAC Section Cary 303-200 You have probably sorted this out by now. If not, for what it's worth I output via usb (using ASIO4ALL driver/winamp) to a Trends UD-10 transport, optical out to my Citypulse DAC and have had zero problems. If you're still struggling you might loo... | |
| Best cartridge for modded Technics 1200 I'm in the same boat having just purchased here a SL1200 with the KAB tonearm damper. I like what I've read about the Audio-Technica AT150mlx in terms of price/performance and output (not wanting the expense of a step-up) and am leading in that di... | |
| Need help with Kinergetics Subs - Newbie Familiar indeed. I still listen to my TC-50's, but gave up on the Kinergetics SW-100's sitting beneath them and now use a nice HSU sub with the Spica's. And call me crazy but I do use them for home theater. The system now doesn't sound sound as ma... |
