| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtabl&1279157656Above is a 1 yr old P7 w/o cart.Does that meet the requirements? When the OP auditioned a P3, that didn't make the cut. Is the P7 a leap over the P3? | |
| How is there Apple Lossless Debate? Darkj,That is a very good question. What DOES happen when you use an AE?Does the confuser convert everything to say.......MP3@160 than transmit, as some kind of reconstructed full bitstream to an external DA via the AE?I don't think so. I HOPE tha... | |
| How is there Apple Lossless Debate? Hellofidelity:Thanks for equalizer tip. Just turned it 'off'....it was set to flat.Does that effect recording or just playback? | |

| How is there Apple Lossless Debate? Since you can re-create a bit accurate copy of the original from an Apple Lossless file, the difference must be somewhere else. | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables I had an S2000 for about 50,000 miles / driven daily in all SoCal weather.I don't get it. It was picky about tires, and didn't like wet weather, even with 'all season' hi-perf tires. Had to keep an eye on the oil, too. (always synthetic). If drive... | |

| tube damper help Arm,I stipulated that it would be Very unusual for this to actually happen. Fact is, Silicon O-rings have a silicon oil binder in them. Period. If you saw evidence of this on a preamp, it would probably be WAY too hot. Output tubes? I don't know h... | |
| Listening off grid with batteries Don't current solar panels each come with a small inverter? Isn't it easier to move the AC around as opposed to DC? Won't there be less loss this way? You can re-rectifiy it at point of use....for battery charging.All the listening room needs is a... | |
| longevity of good speakers Speaker electrical characteristics change as the drivers are heated. Maybe a heated speaker....say running 50% of 'redline' for an hour or so may be even easier to damage. Caps in crossovers also deteriorate with age. Letting them just sit in a cl... | |
| tube damper help I don't know specifically which compounding we used at work. Here, however is a link to a site which shows 2 different silicon compounds with way different max temps listed.I would say the higher temp one is to be preferred. At least for output tu... | |
| tube damper help I have no idea how hot a well-driven power tube can get. That's why I suggested the Kalrez. That'll take anything, short of a meltdown. For preamps, most anything should do. The reason I specifically do NOT like Silicon is that they are made with ... |
