Can you build a transparent XLR selector box? I know that the answer is yes, as in every professional recording studio employs patch bays. So if every professional recording studio does it, then it must be transparent. Interesting. | |
How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? What a freaking waste of time and money. None of these people will find anything wrong, because from their point of view there is nothing wrong. Multiple electricians have failed to find anything wrong with my electrical system or electrical pane... | |
How many dealers do you use? None. Haven't used a dealer in more than a dozen years. Oh, I've gone in a few times. But the only thing I ever bought was some nuts and bolts to mount a cartridge. Even getting that was like pulling teeth. There was one good one I knew, but he re... | |
amplifier with volume control What you want is an integrated amp. Preferably one with an actual pre-amp and not just a trim pot. Which is what you are talking about. What you call a volume control is really nothing more than a variable resistor. Quality in audio is everything.... | |
And My Budget Is... rather than just setting a budget of X, maybe the better way is to listen to something you really love, that is not ridiculously out of your price range and then decide whether the difference is worth it to you. That is pretty much what I do.... | |
Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers Winning friends and influencing people, you really are Italian. Unless I am missing something here the party you should be going after is the carrier. They are the one contracted to deliver. Tekton tendered the shipment, it is the carrier now you ... | |

Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! The lava lamp started out as a lava lamp. But look close you can tell it is now a magma lamp. Either way, seismic, like the sink, that became the Townshend Pods. Look closer, the magma lamp is on a pedestal, precursor to the Podium. Cable elevator... | |
Up grade to a new turntable He didn't just say it is overrated, he said it is detrimental. VTA on the fly is highly over rated and can be detrimental to the performance of the tonearm.Fremer never said any such thing. There are various methods of implementing (designing, bui... | |
Cartridge leads? The search bar is your friend. Don't be a stranger.https://service.shure.com/s/article/color-code-for-phono-cartridge-wiring?language=en_US | |
Is your now then? What was your first significant experience with quality audio (then) and how does it compare with your present system (your now).Do you think we strive to return to the past and remain in those influential times? Are our choices psychological,... | |
Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! Good eye. Classic red lava lamp. Perfect amount of light, endlessly interesting patterns. Takes about the same amount of time to warm up as the system. ;) stuartk- you seem to think I was addressing my remarks to you. Thanks, always enjoy a good ... | |
Stone fireplace wall effects on acoustics? Not trash, no. Random bumps like that can be viewed as a sort of diffuser. Better than a flat wall. There's no such thing as a perfect room, especially not in a case like yours where it has to balance with sweet spot listening, background in the k... | |
Premature gear defenestrations To share a clip, click "Share" and select the time you wish the video to start. Like this. https://youtu.be/4Evc60MwXL4?t=3527 That is some movie you got there. Why am I not the least surprised this is the sort of thing that would leap to mind ins... | |
Should we pay more attention to delays in sound? I waited a couple weeks to get my Herron, almost two months to get my Moabs, and now waiting on DHL to deliver my Origin Live Sovereign turntable. Oldhvymec waited even longer on his Decware ZP-3. And that is nothing, after saving for more than a ... |
