| Vinyl Repair? There's a digital answer too. I have one demonstration LP that's rare. It has a long scratch across the one side. POP, POP, POP! I recorded the album to my computer and used WAVES audio restoration. The pops were completely gone. I got lucky. Obvi... | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread Insurance WILL NOT insure anything! Rule #1- overpack it with the right packing material. If you're not sure, ask the manufacturer. DO NOT trust the guy at the UPS store. They don't know electronics. Rule #2- NEVER EVER pay or arrange shipping f... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive I bought most every format of whatever came down the pike for almost fifty years. I still have a pair of JVC Binaural headphones lying around. A Carver C4000 is in a cabinet just for giggles. I had an ADS Time delay unit that I barely remember. So... | |
| Am I nuts? OP, why aren't you sharing with everyone which player you're in love with? I'd like to know. I have purchased gear just because I liked how it looked (Carver C4000 for instance). Share brother Share! Joe | |
| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? The veneer on the SCIV's I had started delaminating. I wasn't impressed with that. This was at least 10 years ago. Joe | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) Something to keep in mind: Speakers are like people. It's takes a while to warm up to some of them. Don't be frustrated if you buy something that doesn't appeal to you out of the box. RELAX, have fun! Consider buying a used pair of a popular brand... | |
| Problem with Esoteric service I ended up buying a PS Audio combo. I'm very happy with it and the service is right here! Another note, I'm surprised of the tone of the last few replies to this now seven year old post. If Esoteric is willing to service old players, that speaks ... | |
| Problem with Esoteric service I did think of that. I'm getting too old for that anymore! It's a great idea IF Esoteric would work with us in this manner. This discussion is several years old. Has anyone taken advantage of the newer service that TAP offered? Just curious. Joe | |

| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? I'm told it's a Buddhist principal; No expectations! It's the only way I've been able to get through the past few years. It works. I've found I have more good days than bad. When the phone rings and it's bad news, I take it in stride. I sleep bett... | |
| another toy for those with money to burn Judging by the popularity of these things, (they sold out on TOM) it's a good idea for one of the many manufacturers out there or maybe one enthusiastic audiogoner. Joe | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? I think that in the post production of mix down of such loud music, the recording engineers use "limiters" to clip the wave forms so to not distort the music on the CD or record. When I've transferred CD's to a WAV file on the computer, the wave f... | |

| How long do good speakers last? The oldest speakers I have are a pair of Polk Model 10 A's. 1979. Excellent speakers for their day. They still sound like they did in 1979. I'm skeptical of new technology that promises "better" sound. No one really knows how they'll hold up (or i... |
