| NAD 304 - Best SS amp ever? To rephrase the question, Have you ever upgraded from an NAD 304? If so, what was your upgrade path? | |
| Stylus shape and skating force I know these sound obvious, but I'm going to list them just in case you haven't double checked :) 1) Is your turntable level? I'd check that first.2) If it is level, it might be that the tracking force is set too low. Did you re-balance and re-set... | |
| help identify a song please...... Would you mind posting a link to youtube or the like so we know which Rhapsody commercial you're referring to? | |
| Adcom GFA-545 - Modify or Move On? sorry for the late reply on this ... can I still make a suggestion? Swap your speaker cable out. On more than one system (both NAD, actually) more liquid everything and softer highs came when I swapped my home-brew anti-cables with Audioquest Type... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples It is worth noting that a good portion of what the KAB Damper does can't be demonstrated with a recording. Things like the elimination of woofer pumping and major reduction of acoustic feedback due to high volume levels are benefits that aren't sh... | |
| Which part reduces surface noise most? Countingbackwards - Thanks for the valuable feedback re: L2 usage...I feared that once I went down the expensive lo-output MC road, I'd want to spend more on a phono stage. Stringreen - You're so right. I noticed last night that the new cartridge ... | |
| Which part reduces surface noise most? Interesting development- I bought the LP Gear AT95HE, which is the AudioTechnica AT95 with a hypereliptical stylus. $75.00 from LPGear.It is in a different league altogether from any cartridge I've owned with regard to noise. It is, above all, ext... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples New Samples! I spent some time creating more controlled "Damped VS Undamped" recordings today. I'm using a different phono preamp so I went ahead and changed the songs up - I was tired of those first three, weren't you?The songs are: Led Zeppelin,... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Hi Ron - Another audio-goner and I are trying to determine why the levels are changed... it's possible i had the rumble filter "off" for the last recording, but I can't account for the level differences other than I blew it on the recording. I wen... | |
| Huh? What's going on here The DVD-A (DVD Audio Standard) is 96Khz 24-Bit. Standard DVD, as mentioned above, is 48Khz 16 BitLaserdisc is analog and can sound awesome even though they output 44.1This is not true. While the first LDs had analog sound, the "modern ones", since... | |
| Subwoofer Advice For Stereo Music System, Not HT My favorite sub (I've only owned two) is The Anthony Gallo MPS. It's the two-piece cylindrical one, not the sphere and not the cheaper "cannon."All their promotional material mentioned the "texture" of deep bass, and I have to agree that it has an... | |
| mcintosh laserdisc player MLD 7020 The sound of a good laserdisc is hard to beat by any other source. It is analog.Well, the audio of early laserdics was analog, but it wasn't "good" by any stretch. It required its own analog noise reduction circuit to sound passable. The digital a... | |
| Which part reduces surface noise most? Thanks Johnnyb53, I read that review too and I think that will be the next purchase, though I'm selling my cart and will need another one of those too :) It's funny how upgrade-itis strikes, isn't it? I bought a Technics 'table, began upgrading, t... | |
| Which part reduces surface noise most? I really like the Record Doctor stuff, but early on I learned too I rinse and rinse and rinse the record afterward. I suppose we're all too liberal with the cleaning fluid..?I have to admit that the $169.00 Cambridge phono stage has now piqued my ... | |
| Which part reduces surface noise most? Raul - The holistic approach to audio enjoyment is a great one. I am definitely tightly focused on this one aspect, but as I can't afford to upgrade the amplification yet (NAIM or tubes), I choose to focus on the source.Headsnappin - Your idea is ... |
