| Smart power supplies for turntable I am the OP for the earlier thread mentioned above for the Clearaudio Smart Power 12V supply. I eventually bought Clearaudio's very expensive power supply. I wouldn't stake my life on it but I believe I am getting a little quieter signal out of ... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It Back in 1999 I got the idea to build a DIY fully horn loaded system with folded corner horns back in the corners and wide range horns (Oris 150 horns with AER BD3 drivers) and Fostex t900a bullet tweeters out in the room where they would provide a... | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! I use a DEQX HDP 4 preamp/DSP with my fully horn loaded tri-amplified DIY speakers. The room correction software in this component does an excellent job of producing a sound free of most room problems in the sweet spot, but I have to admit that i... | |
| Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas? I am not getting a Degritter for Christmas, but barring financial catastrophes I plan to get one to celebrate the Vernal Equinox. | |

| Supply chain affecting anyone? I ordered a Clearaudio 12V smart power supply for my tt on 10-22-2021. It is scheduled to be delivered day after tomorrow. In late September I bought a new turntable, arm and cartridge. The dealer had them all ready for me to pick up within thr... | |

All have been acquired since 1983 after a major burglary at my home got all my LPs. The goofy fool burglars go all my LPs and left the much more valuable st... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? My Toyota Tundra has the upgraded JBL stereo. I use it to listen to books on CD. Recorded music listening is strictly an at home activity. | |
| Possibly Dumb Question re:Battery as a power supply Well......I almost feel that I got weak and wimped out, but after playing twenty-five or thirty LPs on the new Clearaudio Performance DC Wood turntable with the Clearaudio Tracer tone arm and finding them to sound damned wonderful I decided to sti... | |
| Clearaudio Maestro vs Ortofon Cadenza cartridge? kongensfelt, I can't do a comparison with Clearaudio cartridges, but I have the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze on a Clearaudio Performance DC Wood table with the Clearaudio Tracer arm. I love it. It is fast, musical, balanced and remarkably quiet regar... | |
