| PC connect to audiophyle system I would look into the M-Audio Audiophile PCI card. quite good sound and very low noise level. J | |
| Anybody familiar with Mundorf silver&oil caps Paul, I can not comment on that particular cap, since I have not used it, but with double and triple bypasses in general one can really change the sonic quality of the piece. I would experiment a bit before setting on a specific value. As long as ... | |
| Audio Research tube problem with Aragon 4004 MKII I had a similar problem as Kenscollick did. If you are set on using a tube pre with the 4004, you'll need to add a DC blocking cap for both channels. I know' direct is supposed to be better, but in this case, your options are limited. Add a film c... | |
| New to vinyl again Yes, Czbbcl is correct, purchase a good record cleaning system. That is super important for listening to LPs. Nitty Gritty and VPI both make them, and while you are at it, purchase some new sleeves to so you are not sliding that freshly cleaned re... | |
| Rewiring a Well Tempered tonearm- thoughts? Yes, Schipo is correct. Cardas makes kits to re-do the arm. Quite an improvment over the stock wire. There are also a few companies that will do it for you if you do not wnat to tackle it yourself. J | |
| Help in reducing distortion from old mono records. Chris, its possible the copy you bought was played by its previous owner who had a table and cart that did not track well, adn likely damaged the grooves. If that is the case, then your best bet is to look for another copy. One thing you can try i... | |
| Brag About Your Vinyl Collection 95% of the EMI UK classical catalog, 80% of the Decca catalog, and a ton of Columbia, DG and Philips; mostly classical LPs, then there are the 50s jazzz lps................ | |
| Digital to Analog-Converter needed? HiFi, I would suggest you look at a decent DVD Player with digital out (Pioneer, Denon, etc) and buy a rosetta 200 for the conversion to analog. | |
| How many gangs check out wwww dot fmtunerinfo dot com. They will have more info there on your Marantz than most other sites. | |
| Differences in electric outlets Buy a good quality commercial out let and take the extra $$$ and have an electrician added a dedicated 12 gauge wire / 20 amp circuit from your electrical panel to your listening room. Make sure it goes to the panel and not tapped into another cir... | |
| Amp Basics: Tube Preamp w/Solid State Power Amp. I agree with Jmcgrogan2. One thing to add is if your preamp does not have a cathode follower, then you'll want to keep your cabling between the pre and power pretty short. Depending on the cable, longer runs could roll off the high frequencies. If... | |
| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? If you are going to consider going to that level, a much more audible improvement can be had by a different route for your LP playback. Get someone to upgrade the resisitors your phono section; This is completely independent of the brand, how much... | |
| "Original Jazz Classics" Yep Vinylrowe hit it right on the head. Pick up as many of those OJC pressings as you can. They are a steal for both the performances offered and in many cases the sound quality. The originals are not as quiet and would cost much much more than th... | |
| yet another KAB mod question Also don't forget the cardas tone arm re-wire, that is def. worthwhile. the Cardas head shell leads are available from the needledoctor or musicdirect.com. | |
| parasound hca 2000 vs hca 2000 mk2 The Mark 2 is completely dual mono with two tranformers, much higher current delivery and able to drive low impedence loads. |
