| Good turntable equipped for about 700 dollars? Hi,Here is some further info with regards to buying a used Linn. There are only 4 screws on the base to remove if one wanted to inspect things. Should you consider an LP12 from a distant seller, I would want a photo of the innards, so to speak. Th... | |
| Stand for turntable...... Your cars suspension has a rigid surface that it rides on and the cars suspension controls the irregularities in the road surface. If the road was not rigid but was continually flexing, would your cars suspension work as well? For suspension turnt... | |
| Testing-ever get fed up? This may not work for everybody but has served me well through the years. If I insert an upgrade for evaluation I live with it for about 2 weeks playing music that I know well and thoroughly enjoy. Long listening sessions are mandatory and at the ... | |
| Great Imaging Speakers Working against a wall? Deaden the walls behind the speakers and the listening position. Relocate any "stuff" you might have between the speakers. | |
| Help: Audio Gremlins Hi,I'm familiar with that sound also. Although I've never had this happen to any of my systems I have isolated this phenomenon twice for other people. One time it was a switch and the other time it was a potentiometer. Just a couple of ideas worth... | |
| Are your used items selling? Subaruguru,"And the bushman hides his illegal tradings by starting a war"????? Come on now, don't be so vague and cute. Spit it out. Step up to the pump Mr. Car Salesman and tell us what's on your mind. Can we pronounce Nevill Chamberlain? | |
| high-end vs. ultra high-end amplifiers There really isn't enough information given to respond acurately. What speakers were being driven and what were the other components? Were the differences noted in the same system with just the amps replaced? Was this noticed in the same room? I'm... | |
| How do I bi-wire and bi-amp? Edesilva,Thanks for the reply to my question. I hope I wasn't misunderstood as being critical, it's just that I couldn't (can't) grasp a benefit beyond a single, larger amp. I can certainly appreciate making the most out of a couple of excellent d... | |
| 2000 for turntable and arm..... I agree with Ivanj. You'll have money left over for vinyl. | |
| Where are you at on the curve?... I've suffered the consequences of money induced pragmatism from the onset which were actually blessings in diguise. In the long run software is where it's at. Watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan really got the ball rolling but at 12 I could only a... | |
| How do I bi-wire and bi-amp? Hi,Could someone enlighten me a little on this subject? If one is using two amps which run independently to the high frequency drivers (ie. one amp to the highs) and one amp to the low frequency drivers, what happens to all the low frequency signa... | |
| The "coolest" looking system? I laughed so hard the cats went into hiding. Max, I've learned to take a leak before reading posts by Clueless. Clueless, please show up if I ever get a chance to buy you a drink. | |
| Going SACD or analog? Marakanetz,I envy you being able to find near mint or new vinyl for an average of $5. My experience is that desireable recordings by preferred artists in near mint or new condition are a minimum of $10 excluding shipping costs. Please share with u... | |
| Going SACD or analog? Hi,Maybe I'm missing something here regarding what you would like to accomplish on a $3000 budget. Get a used LP12 (Valhalla) with an arm (Ittok) and buy a Denon 103 cartridge. Get an SACD player and have it modified to excel at Redbook playback a... | |
| Should preamp be left turned on? I've been leaving ss electronics continuously powered up for 35 years through three systems and have yet to need a repair. |
