| Dynaudio Upgrade? The Focus 160 is a fantastic sounding speaker and may be worth buying at a good price if you're going to keep it for the long haul. The downside is your resale value will be very low. | |
| Is there any difference between a phono cable and a regular interconnector? Let us know if this works.Also, the capacitance of the cable used for a TT/cart/phonostage needs to be low. So changing to a new phono cable may not only have a different sonic presentation, but possibly might not be a good match for your cartridg... | |
| Is there any difference between a phono cable and a regular interconnector? You need a ground wire to use a TT. A typical phono cable has a pair of RCAs with a thin wire connected to them on one end; and the ground wire connects to a ground post on the back of the preamp or integrated amp.Since you are able to plug the Ki... | |
| I Dislike new format There still may be additions and changes to the new site. I’m sure the new software allows for it, also notice the FORUM logo still says BETA.I don’t like the high contrast background on the forum. I also prefer sans serif. | |
| Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k rose...When speakers are so wide apart (14'), you will not get the true "imaging" or "mixing" of the music. If listening to stereo while at your easel, speakers need to be closer together to hear the complete musical soundstage. Just a bit of ad... | |

| New format, dislike..... Well, this post is where is should be. Maybe it happens when adding to existing threads from the old forum. | |
| New format, dislike..... When I post an entry to a thread, it does not follow in chronological order. It seems to be placed randomly into the thread. | |
| how can I make the back wall transparent? Many thanks, williewonka, I appreciate you sharing your research. I did not realize that vinyl could absorb sound waves.I've seen some types of acoustic curtains, as one of your links points out, they are made of fabric with a vinyl layer. But w... | |
| New Tube Amp Use EQ or not Hi Broadstone, good move trying the EL34's. They'll give a different colour to the sound of your system.But, if there is still a problem with annoying frequencies, ask your tube dealer if a change in one of the small input tubes, such as the drive... | |
| New Tube Amp Use EQ or not Broadstone, I've been following your posts (I have hyperacusis). I've changed interconnects many times and tube preamps with different sonic signatures to pair with my SS amp to make digital more listenable for me.Changing to the Cary tube amp is ... | |
| Static from tweeters, preamp? Are you plugging in the preamp with the Furman PC power OFF?You should be. | |
| Philly Record Store Day fail Roxy, Third street Jazz is gone. I would have to say that they were THE BEST record store in Philly. | |
| Philly Record Store Day fail That's too bad. I haven't been to the Phila. Record Exchange since the 1990s when records were in good condition. It always was a dimly lit cave and I think it was mostly a store for rockers and DJs. The best stores I've found in the Philly area a... | |
| Philly Record Store Day fail Isn't Record store day in April?Anyway, the best shop is Philadelphia Record Exchange and had to move from 5th & South to Fishtown due to rent increase. |
