| Burning a CD To obtain better results, on my computers in the past I slowed down the read speed to 1x and the recording speed to 1x. But with my new computer, I seem to have no control over the read speed and not much control over the burning speed. Does anyon... | |
| Review: David Berning Co MicroZOTL Tube amp This is going to sound silly to some, but most of the time I use my micro-zotl in my study to drive a pair of Spendor LS3/5a's, which have only 83dB efficiency. I admit freely that this combination does NOT get loud, or even close, but the sound i... | |
| Need Help AR XA Turntable The Grace 707 is a terrific arm for high compliance cartridges, especially the Shure V15. You could get one used for $150. I have seen a 707 mounted on an AR and it looked pretty sharp. | |
| Paragon 12 preamp; need to know tubes in linestage Here's what I would do. Play your source. Keep gain set low on amplifier. Turn off preamp. Take out one tube. Turn on preamp. See if source still plays. Repeat process one tube at a time and see which ones can be removed without stopping the sound... | |

| Grado SR-225 or Sennheiser HD580? I stepped up from the Grado 80 using the headphone jack on my Radio Shack Optimus CD-3400 to the Sennheiser 600. Everything got much better, although I might like a touch more bass. I am now using the Berning micro zotl and the sound is simply ter... | |

| In Memory of Henry Kloss I remember a story that I am not quite old enough to confirm. When I bought my first pair of Large Advents, I was told that Advent, under Henry Kloss's leadership, had bought back one of its early products from every purchaser who wanted a refund ... | |
| Anti-skating: how to set You should understand that any anti-skating force you apply will rarely be exactly the "right" amount. The spinning record pulls the stylus in a direction of a tangent to the groove at the point of the stylus. If the cartridge is restrained by the... | |
| The new line of Sony DVD/SACD players I purchased the NS-500V about 2 months ago, mostly for the DVD video. I hooked it up briefly to make sure the 5.1 SACD was working, and it sounded pretty darned good with the enclosed demo disk. I have also listened to the SACD demo disk in stereo... | |
| REL strata III vs Spendor Sub 3, which to use with S3/5? To answer one more point made by some comments, the Strata III has a crossover of 12 dB per octave, whereas the Sub3 has an 18 dB per octave slope. That makes it important to set the REL crossover at a lower number.thanks for your comments and help | |
| OTL amps on Dynamic Speakers No one mentioned the Berning ZH270, a reliable otl tube amp. | |
| A question concerning ethics Yes, Sean I think you are right. Anyone with a financial interest in the product or related products being discussed should reveal that financial interest in the course of making comments. And I would hope that anyone who finds out that some revie... | |
| REL strata III vs Spendor Sub 3, which to use with S3/5? To answer some questions, the Spendor sub has a bit more power, 130 watts instead of 100, has a continuously adjustable crossover from 50-90hz [instead of 22-90hz on the REL], has a vented box instead of a sealed box, and costs $1169 instead of $1... | |
| 8 channel volume control? Thanks to both of you for the information. I was hoping for something cheaper. I can make the box for it myself. Thanks again. |
