| How could High End audio be improved? Tom,First on my list would be the need for less hype about sonic improvements. Hey, I'm not saying that improvements aren't happening but it's difficult to tell what is real and what is simply promotion.More care in the recording studio. It seems ... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Maxgain,The BPS is just great in the noise department. I've used it with my older Naim gear and my Linn. I know that few audiophiles that frequent this site think highly of Linn but I've got to say that the phono stage is superb in my Wakonda. It ... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Maxgain,I have an all Linn Aktiv system, LP12/Ittok/Valhalla, Wakonda, Genki, (2)Lk100's, Keilidh. I've had the LP12 since '84 and owned a previous version bought in the late '70's prior to that. I previously had a modest Naim kit consisting of 42... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Hi Tom. Maxgain, I just have to ask since you seem to be an older guy too. How much vinyl do you have? As Tom mentioned, getting quality vinyl isn't that hard to do but requires a little work. It doesn't need to be expensive either. I'm with Tom o... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Maxgain,Don't bail on the analog thing! Nice thread guys.Patrick | |
| Linn; Benefits of Tri-amping an Active System Marc,I'll share with you what my plans are since I'll shortly be listing my Linn Aktiv system for sale here. This has been a very difficult decision since I do love what I have. I'm even going to the extent of seriously downgrading until I can bri... | |
| Unheralded Sideman ZaIkesman nailed it. Prior to his post I was considering nominating THE GREAT Mr."Donald Duck" Dunn with Brooker T. & The MG's in the capacity of that band playing with Neil Young on a few of his records and most importantly LIVE. Patrick | |
| Foolish Ain't it nice to feel like a kid again? Congrats! | |
| Digitally remastered vinyl? Many of the early digitally mastered vinyl recordings sound harsh and thin. There are some gems from this era also. Like I've said so many times before, everybody along the chain must care a great deal to arrive at a great finished product. The co... | |
| OK to use curtain to obtain the optimum room size? Ake,A well-designed tri-fold panel on each side could do what you want although a consultation with Rives about the materials used in it's construction would be wise. I think it's a worthy idea.Patrick | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? I remember John Cleese in the Monty Python's Flying Circus tv shows coming out in the middle of a skit saying, "Stop the skit, this is silly". This is one of those moments.Cars have vehicle identification numbers, electronics, cameras and guns hav... | |
| Linn; Benefits of Tri-amping an Active System Jeff's,The Keilidh is a two way speaker. It does however have two mid/bass drivers in each cabinet. What is described above is indeed an Aktiv system and NOT passive bi-amplified. The Keilidh speakers can be configured for Aktiv use via the jumper... | |
| Standard Color Coding for Cartridge Hookup Peter,If it's an Ittok:Red - Right PositiveGreen - Right GroundWhite - Left PositiveBlue - Left GroundIf you need a copy of the Ittok owners manual and a very good exact copy of the Ittok mounting template let me know through the Audiogon email.Pa... | |
| Flipping the LP over ... Since the late 70's I've never stopped my LP12 to remove an album. Never, ever have I had anything that came close to a bad event. Other turntables would likely be a problem. | |
| Black Diamond Racing products under speakers? Maxgain,For an interim solution try wrapping as much teflon tape as possible around the bolt threads. If you can find the bolt specs I may be able to forward enough bolts of the nylock variety. Contact me directly for this. Good luck.Patrick |
