| How about a soldering thread? I did it! Got two pair of Homegrown Silver Solution kits and made cables. Quite easy but very repetitive/boring like making legs for chairs, if you can relate. I have some tips for other beginners: first, ignore the instruction to solder all the c... | |
| Cambridge D500SE ?? I bought the 500 se a few days ago from aa at $399. it's back ordered. will post the sound as soon as i have it. hoping my big adventure is over. | |
| Best sounding CD of Brass? Any of the march compilations on Mercury with the eastman wind ensemble conducted by Frederick Fennell. Also used to have an LP of "Hail To the Chief" a tribute to Emory Remington of Eastman (brass instructor) by their trombone choir.Wonder if it ... | |
| Best Classical Music Conductor Why is there no such thing as history anymore? No one mentioned Reiner or Szell? Cleveland is cleveland but whenever the orchestra went to New York, the critics raved like Bernstein played for the Mets. And Reiner, no one handled soloists as well ... | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well Spent an hour and $30 yesterday threading nuts onto 5/8" threaded rod to capture 4 mdf shelves between aluminum fender washers, no neoprene. BIG improvement in soundstage but my favorite female vocals became unlistenable: harsh, edgy, grainy, 1986... | |
| Hospital Grade Wall Outlets I don't doubt for a minute that you're all hearing something different with these various outlets and plugs. After all, I just assembled a threaded rod and mdf equipment rack and it made an astounding difference in soundstage as well as tonal bala... | |
| How about a soldering thread? How about a recommendation for a high quality soldering iron? What about some sort of a vice? (for holding parts, not the other kind) Heatsink? Will the hairdryer I use for spot repairs of lacquer work on shrink tubing? Can I undo a bad joint? How... | |
| How about a soldering thread? Dacostab- never new there could be a hazard from the fumes although plumbing solder has lead, yes? Anyway, many pro woodworkers and some hobbyists wear a powered mask made by Airlite, Airlite 3, about $250 which pushes overpressure air through the... | |
| What time do you wear? I will admit to having a Rolex with a pink gold bracelet and diamonds at 3,6,9 and 12 circa 193? which only comes out of the sock drawer whilst listening to classical(eat your heart out CWLondon). For pop, rock and jazz it's the $29 Relic I bought... | |
| Best Music Review Resource I second this site. Thanks everyone for Diane Krall, emmylou, Patriot Games and Cowboy Junkies. But Lucinda "I'm moaning at the ceiling" Williams? C'mon. Best performance by trailer trash. Here's one back at'ya. Vivaldi, the Four Seasons,etc., Che... | |
| BEST A/V RECEIVER MARANTZ SR18? Still the Outlaw Audio 1050. Apart from the 6.1 surround sound, which is excellent, beyond the rated 65 watts, I have used it with my Sonographe amp as a pre-amp at times so I know the front end is credible. The internal switching makes video as g... | |
| Conrad Johnson CJ26 Sonograph Pre Amp?? The only "review" I've seen is on AudioReview.com as a reference to the combination with Sonographe Sa-250, which the SA-250 owner liked. Of course, everything on audioreview less than several thousand dollars gets 4 or 5 stars. | |
| Wanted: Exceptional preamp w/remote Sugarbritches- obviously not a CAT to be taken lightly, but I can't help wondering about Rec mating Placette with his CAT. Would Placette have to be a champion as well? Is there a stud fee involved? | |
| Wanted: Exceptional preamp w/remote Sugarbritches-exactly what title does she hold? | |
| Speaker Enclosures gmkowal-check the threads under diy and look for northstar audio |
