ProAc ER1 sub connections to Aktiv Amps
Sorry, I've never encountered a Neutric connection. Any line out RCA from any amp is the same as one of the two RCA line outs from your preamp. That means it is a full spectrum line level signal. Based on your opening statement I assumed you had t... 
ProAc ER1 sub connections to Aktiv Amps
Your Wakonda has two pairs of RCA outputs. One pair would go to the sub and the other would feed any of the amps. Daisy chain the other amps from there as each has an RCA output as well as an RCA input. 
Who has made their own LP cleaning solution?
You're going into controvertial territory that has been covered many times in the archives. Most of us old timers have mixed our own cleaning solutions but have abandoned using them because the commercial cleaners are clearly superior and don't co... 
Tweaks That Don't Work
Great question. I'm pretty sure you will get a lot of input and maybe some interesting discussion amongst members. What I have found is that there is a hierarchy of tweaks. Proper set up is kind of a no-brainer but often overlooked. Start there. I... 
Is the Teres a
4yanx,My LP12 is not the be all and end all in analog. Far from it. It is a solid performer though and in my system it is not the weakest link in the chain. I still have it after all these years simply because I have no compelling reason to replac... 
Is the Teres a
Sometimes a turntable manufacturer steps up and really compares their own product to (aruguably) a better source. Back in the mid 80's I was invited to a comparison between a maxed out LP12 (hooked up to the best system in the store) versus the fi... 
For Lugnut & Barb (Patrick & Barbara Malone)
Well, after playing with a whole lot of new stuff I've got to comment on a small bunch that really tripped my trigger. First, the Ridge Street interconnects and speaker cables are so good it's spooky. I'm not going to go into a bunch of audiophool...

Alex,The stories you tell about your personal experiences with cancer are heart breaking and, sorry to say, all too common. As I have said before I am one of the lucky ones. I was diagnosed in 1988 with mixed cell nodular lymphoma. I didn't respon... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
I've been invited to a members home to listen to some tonearm/cartridge comparisons with some other guys and maybe catch some rays in the process. I might not want to come home until May or so. ;)Dean, I've found a pastel t-shirt. Think that would... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
I don't own any pastel colored clothes guys. I don't know of anyone in real life that has any clothes like that to borrow either. Hell, I've never seen them for sale in stores. About all we get to choose from around here are a few different colore... 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
Rsbeck,I'll give you this much after reviewing your systems. You don't spend much money on speaker cables. So, I guess you don't put your money where your mouth is. (meant as a compliment) Obviously, you believe what you say as do those that oppos... 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
I really don't get it. Not only my ears but the ears of every friend that stops by my house comments about how wonderful my system sounds lately. And, it's because of new IC's and speaker cables. I don'd much care if anyone else thinks that zip co... 
vintage record albums
I'd check the closed eBay auction prices too. Also, listen carefully to what Zaikesman said. Even sealed records rarely deserve a mint rating. 
Where has the respect gone?
Ezekiel,You're correct. My suggestion is to kill them with kindness. I actually have seen this work recently. There is a certain poster that is very knowledgeable but very argumentative and insultiing with highly respected members here. In this ca... 
Early Beatles album question--
I'm pretty sure I'm right on this, at least concerning US release. European realease dates may be different. "Introducing The Beatles" was released in 1963 with "Meet The Beatles" being released a year later.
