| Custom Plating for amplifier faceplate......any possible problems Raw copper will oxidize to have a satin brown color. Unless you don't mind the color or polishing your face plate at intervals, bad idea but only from a cosmetic stand point. You could have it clear lacquered after plating I suppose or you could h... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital Absolutely Mike, it is the music that counts. Quality is secondary but it always helps. When it gets down to brass tacks it is the quality of the final end user material that counts and one magic thing about digital is that it does not deteriorate... | |

| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? Heaudio, stay away from Schwalbe. I had too many punctures. I have run Hutchinson Sector 28's and 32s with great results. Orange Seal is the absolute best sealant. I ran one 28 down to casing 500 miles after it punctured and sealed. I never took t... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Larry,it is all a matter of priorities. Geoffkait, look in the mirror:)Absolute polarity does not matter much. I can change it at will by remote control and as hard as I try I can not hear the difference. But, delay a subwoofer 0.3 ms (about 3 fee... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital Thank Mike. Very interesting. How many titles do you think are available in 1/2" 15 or 30 ips? | |
| Dumb break in question... Break in? Brakes require break in as do motors and girl friends. Mechanical devices like cartridges maybe. Electronic components? Only in your dreams. djones has it right. Just play the darn thing and enjoy the music. | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital sdr, he does not know and you will confuse him by asking:) I love R to R.I grew up with an Ampex in the days when you could get prerecorded tapes for just a little more than the vinyl. But when you have to pay $350 to $500 for just one title and w... | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering ct0517, raw BS I'm afraid. Just what is that horizontal bean going through the air bearing? A perfect vacuum? It may have less horizontal mass than other linear arms but there is still a marked discrepancy. It is IMHO the best design for an air be... | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering Actually,the best air bearing arm is the Walker. It had the lightest horizontal mass. The air bearing is stationary and large. It uses a lower pressure (less noise). The arm is made out of some type of very light composite. The turntable section i... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Women have smaller ear canals than we do. They are more sensitive to frequencies above 3000 Hz. They are also more sensitive to what they hear. At night the tiniest of noises will wake a woman up while we continue to snore on. I think in nature th... | |
| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? It is great to see so many cyclists. It is undoubtedly the best aerobic sport for aging humans.I also had a Bianchi Infinito. Great bike. It had Campy Super Record EPS. I had to sell it. Mountain biking destroyed my right wrist. I am now the proud... | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering Terry, you are using the best cartridge for a linear tracker, very low compliance. I be very interested in what your vertical and lateral resonance points are if you have a test record that breaks them up. The HI FI News record does this. Of cours... | |
| Ok guys Halcro, I have a decibel meter. My SOTA does 18 db down, the SME 25 dB. It has a thicker cover. The difference does decrease a bit with louder volumes. These figures are at 95 dB. Most good hearing protectors come in at 25 to 30 dB and what are t... |
