| Damping sheets work Dont know why, Tbromgard, but the cdp lost it's open, airy sound. But wow, what an improvement on the wood shelf. (already had Herbies under the TT). | |
| Damping sheets work I'm glad the damping worked on ur Jolida preamp, but there is such a thing as overdamping. I covered the top of my Jolida cdp and took the life out of it, so I quickly removed the material. BUT, I too have found a major improvement in sound by dam... | |
| Crappy sounding "audiophile" LP's? Rebbi ... First of all, Chesky is top of the line as u have found. Secondly, I have been taken in too many times by these "new" audiophile records and will never fall for their sales pitch again. These newly pressed records are not up to the quali... | |
| Tube Monoblocks in the 5-7K Range " I read the stereophile review of the Rogues and the only thing that gave me pause was the fact that the reviewer says he could have sworn it was a ss amp. That's also my concern with the Carver."I've heard the Rogue's and there is no mistaking t... | |
| Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers Zydo, Thanks for the detailed info. I've bought demos before and saved a great deal of $$. But "B-Stock" is such a nebulous term, the dealer should always declare it during the sale. | |
| That's not right - but what's wrong? Jetson, I've read about people using that diagonal wiring approach. I still think it's a possible impedance or gain mismatch between the 2 amps and preamp. Try only using one amp and let us know. | |
| That's not right - but what's wrong? "speakers are wired diagonally"? What does that mean? Easiest way to diagnose the prob is to do what Elizabeth said; remove amp # 2 from the system. Maybe it is an impedance issue. | |
| Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers Marakanetz...that's funny. Wish I had a LIKE button. | |
| Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers "Can someone please define the term "B stock"Thanks Zydo, you answered my question. But if a unit is returned as defective, then repaired by you or the factory for resale, is that B stock or refurbished? | |
| Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers Can someone please define the term "B stock"? I thought it meant that the product had a blemish of some kind, but was fully operational or the item had been discontinued. Also if it was opened to look at by the store and customer."B stock can some... | |
| Correct way to burn in a new CD/SACD player "Or just that the manufacturer is smart enough not to enter an arena of audiophiles with too much time on their hands and nothing better to do than discuss what to me is obvious."I believe this, Newbee.FYI, Rogue Audio includes a statement that al... | |
| iMac no longer reading/playing CDs " iMac no longer reading/playing CDs"Happened to my iMac, also no writing to CDRs. Needs a new disc drive. | |
| Is McIntosh really Hi-Fi, finally MC452 I assume you have been reading reviews of the 452 as have I. I have not heard it, but it seems that it delivers a sound to compete with the Parasound Halo JC-1, Plinius, PASS LABS and has departed from the McIntosh house sound.An excerpt from a on... | |
| Good entry into R2R Since nobody has answered, I would say forget about the Telefunken since most of them for sale are from the 1960s and you need to pay for a rebuild to bring it up to spec.In EU keep looking for a Studer or Revox, both excellent IMO. | |
| RCA output on a turntable? NeedleDoctor (online) is a good place for researching the different tables on the market today. If you have a local HiFi shop, they would be able to put together a package deal for u. Table, cart, and phono stage. |
