| Itching for better sound Leemaze -Just curious, what speakers are you driving with your Yamaha A-S801. I was thinking of getting one to simplify my office system. I did a listen a while back and was pretty impressed with the amp. | |
| Itching for better sound I would go for the Yamaha, it has the most power of the three and the lowest price. The Marantz seems a little under powered. The Cambridge does not have tone controls which may or may not be an issue for you. Of course the sound quality is the mo... | |
| Itching for better sound Your receiver really will be a limiting factor with whatever speakers you choose. The Klipsch are very sensitive and your receiver will drive them. The KEF LS50 requires a good amp with sufficient power to get the best out of them. These speakers ... | |
| Vinyl cleaning and alcohol elliottbnewcombjrI don't know what is in that Fisher Scientific Versa-Clean formulation but I believe it is designed for glassware. Personally I wouldn't use it on LPs but if it works for some people it might be ok.I wouldn't worry too much about ... | |
| Vinyl cleaning and alcohol Just to clarify, alcohol is a generic term and there are thousands of alcohols. I believe most people are referring to isopropyl alcohol although one poster mentions using ethanol. I would recommend isopropyl alcohol and not ethanol.Another generi... | |
| Adding storage to a MacBook Pro The early 2015 13" MacBook Pro and mid 2015 15" MacBook Pro are upgradeable. As "sfar" has pointed out the instructions are available at ifixit.com. It is a straightforward process and takes about 1/2 hour. I have done both a MacBook Pro and a Mac... | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters I am not aware of any sealant on the bottom panel, but I have never removed mine. I believe there is a gasket on the panel or the cabinet itself which may have softened over time and caused the panel to stick. | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters The bottom panel is not glued in. It is a very snug fit and can be difficult to remove. I read somewhere where someone used the spikes as leverage to remove the panel.Did you decide that the trouble with your muffled sound is with the tweeters? Di... | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters The mid range drivers are an integral part of the enclosure and cannot be removed. You should be able to tell from looking at the front of them if there are any issues with them. Did the previous owner replace the foam donuts? Perhaps he connected... | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters I wouldn't get into the caps yet, there are a lot of them in the crossover. When you removed the front enclosure to access the tweeters, did you clean up the slip-on connecters and check if they have a good connection? If you didn't, I would check... | |
| Alternatives Software for iTunes on Mac We tried Audirvana a while ago and after considerable listening on my 3 systems and my wife's system, we could not tell any significant difference with iTunes. This was only with our AIFF ripped CDs streamed wirelessly. We do not use any internet ... | |
| Alternatives Software for iTunes on Mac joscow The dropouts may be related to your WiFi. If you are on 2.4 GHz band try to change to a different channel or if you have a dual band router, try 5 GHz. The freezes and hangups are a different matter. Perhaps you need to reinstall iTunes, or... | |
| Alternatives Software for iTunes on Mac @joscow, What problem are you having with iTunes? Maybe it can be resolved. Like you I have been using iTunes for a long time. I still use it to wirelessly stream my AIFF ripped CDs to an Airport Express or Apple TV and have not encountered any pr... | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters The ferrofluid is available from Parts Express. It doesn't take much. The ferrofluid comes in little tubes for different size tweeters. Each tube is enough for one tweeter. You need 2 tubes for 1 inch tweeters. They are about $6 each. | |
| KEF 104/2 tweeters As georgehifi says the KEF T33 is a great tweeter. Once cleaned up and new ferrofluid applied it will be as good as new. It is a straightforward process. There are several online videos for the process and plenty of discussions on Audiokarma. The ... |
