| MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns? Hi, I've never demagnetized a cartridge in over 35 years and haven't experienced anything that would lead me to believe I needed to. I don't have a clue as to whether such a device is needed or if it's another dose of snake oil. Then again, maybe ... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Albert,I don't have a clue how somebody can put together a car of that wieght. I know it can be done but I can't do it. Get this, I started out with a car that already had a V8 and weighed 2850 lbs. So, it's got aluminum heads, intake, radiator, f... | |
| What is the purpose of any kind of upgrade........ Mamba, I've upgraded my turntable through the years as the improvements bacame available. I'm glad I did. I've owned the piece for almost 20 years and it performs equally with what is available new today. Upgradeability is a strong reason to buy a... | |
| atabites and/or other speaker fillers Mark,While lead is indeed a dangerous material to ingest I believe that lead shot is perfectly safe. A gazillion hunters have been using lead shot and continue to do so without any harm to themselves whatsoever. There have been studies done on peo... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Zaikesman,It's a '67 and a 406 small block Chevy. It is my garage but neat'n'clean is a sometimes thing!! Thanks for the kind words in your reply email. Regarding the windshield wipers, or lack thereof, I can pop them on easy enough but they lift ... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Onhwy61,When I tool around I don't need any. The car is very quiet. When I race it is loud at wide open throttle (still through the mufflers) but with a helmet and the windows up, which is mandatory, it's so muffled it's like wearing ear plugs. My... | |
| LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ... Alexc,I'm in the same boat you are in. I don't have a dealer anywhere close. I've never had my belt ride anywhere except in the middle of the pulley. The VTA adjustment is a pain but I only do it once and never feel like I need to make changes due... | |
| whatz up with hi-end speakers near walls? Well, I'm going to step up to the pump and say what needs to be said. Fire back at will boys.The essence of the thread as posted is that there are no speakers designed to be placed near the rear wall and anyone that does this should buy their equi... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Zaikesman,Send me an email and I'll send back a photo or two of the car.What we need here is to line up and have a heads up audio race. Seriously, I wish we could have a small time convention of Audiogon members, perhaps on a regional level. I wou... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? What a thread! The collective intelligence of the posters is really something. I've enjoyed this a lot and NO, my tongue is not planted firmly in my cheek. It reminds me of an event in my personal life that has nothing to do with audio but it appl... | |
| Please Describe your Music Collection Hi,I've been into vinyl since about 1965 and was lucky enough to have a relative that was a dj. He taught me how to handle records and gave me a watts record brush which was band new to the market at the time. I have a handful of damaged vinyl tha... | |
| LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ... Alex,If I were to move up it would be the Teres. The Ekos doesn't have VTA adjustment? My Ittok does. Also, if the power supply is working then the speed should be dead on. Unless of course, you wanted to tune a record to your guitar or such, why ... | |
| whatz up with hi-end speakers near walls? You are quite wrong. Some great speakers are designed to be close to the wall. | |
| Linn Ninkas now Aktiv but a couple questions. Stuart,I concur with Tim about moving the speakers farther into the room when going Aktiv. Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I also agree that music at lower volumes had more detail than prior to Aktiv. The only area I disagree with Tim on is findi... | |
| Linn Ninkas now Aktiv but a couple questions. Stuart,I have an all Linn Aktiv system. I did experiment with other interconnects but the Linn black ones were better than all others except for the Linn silver which I couldn't jusitfy. I'm not much help here but will say that my Wakonda has two ... |
