| 6 core speaker cable? Kermit- you will have to get a volt/ohm meter and check the continuity of each of the colored wired to know for sure what goes to what. There is no standardization as to what any particular manufacturer will do, much less from model to model.Good... | |
| Audio Desk Ultrasonic Record Cleaner Onwers? I have had an ADS Vinyl Cleaner for 5 years now and use it regularly. I remove the filter and rinse it about every 25 lp's or so and change the fluid every 120-140 lp's. The only time I ever get excessive "crud" in the machine is when I clean an... | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT I agree with the majority of the posts- the acrylic platter is NOT what is holding you back - the Scoutmaster is a good table and arm. NO reason to go with the s/s version platter- spend the money on the outer ring clamp and you WILL get better p... | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp HI Milpai - I too know Bob for many years and have found him to be a gentleman of the utmost character. His preamps are wonderful and an absolute bargain in terms of what they sound like and how they are built. Phase inversion is not a problem- ... | |
| BEST SHIELDED XLR CABLES Sacresta- to answer your question- MOST balanced interconnects have a shield that is tied to pin #1 at both ends. The exceptions are cables like Kimber which never use shields of any kind. Good Luck! | |
| I am looking for a XLR Digital Cable to connect my music server to my DAC I would look at the Acoustic Zen MC2=Zen AES/EBU cable- it has been the standard cable choice for reviewers for the last decade or so and is priced at around $350/1M. Great cable for this purpose! | |
| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings I have a VPI SSM and use the outer ring clamp on every lp- the extra weight "bonds" the lp to the platter very effectively and the peripheral mass seems to even out even the slightest speed variations. I have a wooden thread spool on the side of ... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Do yourself a favor and try and listen to the T+A R1000E integrated with DAC and streaming services. It runs cool, has a very high SQ DAC and will easily drive the Kefs. Should fit right in with your tight and fast bass with great musicality and... | |
| NRG Custom Power Cables ? sounds to me like a company that Audioquest ought to be looking to sue for name/copyright infringement | |
| Looking to upgrade from a Plinius 9200 integrated HI Wturkey - I would take a look at the R1000E from T+A. IT is an amazing all in one (amp, dad,server) which has an optional MC phono board. Quite astonishing sound quality no matter what the source. | |
| Need Discontinued Cary CD306 Repaired HI Krkno1- sorry to hear about your player. Before sending it out, try cleaning the laser lens, which is the most common cause of the "no disk" error. Rat shack used to sell a lens cleaner disk that worked well, but I am sure there are others. ... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? Even more humorous - here is the description of that power cord from PS Audio's website:" Inside the AC5 is one LCC hollow conductor for the treble region, a large LCC rectangular conductor for the midrange and multiple gauges of LCC bundled toget... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? jea48 - hate to digress, BUT.... the PS Audio cord is made with thicker than normal STRANDS. Solid core would be simply 3 conductors ( one hot/one neutral/ and one ground). Since the PS Audio has multiple conductors per leg, it is NOT a solid co... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? jea48 - I applaud your efforts, but NEITHER of those power cords have solid core conductors. I know you were just trying to be helpful...Zuio - there are VERY few solid conductor AC cables out there that I know of and certainly none of the 3 you ... | |
| Direct Servo Subwoofer Suggestions HI Seadogs- RYTHMIK subs are likely the very best direct servo systems available. They are available thru direct sales - just google Rythmik.... Good Luck! |
