| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! I had a lot of records to do so drove down to my local Home Depot paid a couple day workers $20 each to pressure wash em in the drive way. Lost a label or two for which I docked each one $5. They were more careful after that let me tell you! All... | |
| Working with Audio Salesmen No its not normal, and the CCP virus is no excuse. He should have told you up front. Same thing happened to me buying my first high end turntable many years ago. Dealer sold me a Graham arm then didn't ship it. Eventually found out he never had it... | |
| Upgraded turntable - is my current setup sufficient? There will be a huge improvement, for sure. Whether you hear it or not.... ; The Marantz weighs in at 19.6lbs. You want to know that because one of the best things you can do next is put it on springs, and springs need to be tuned to the weight of... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? bgoeller, good answer. I'm gonna be watching you. https://youtu.be/k9DO26O6dIg?t=135 | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? I don't know that the music is any more important than the gear- or the other way around. How could it be? As Robert Harley explains in his so excellent it should be required reading The Complete Guide to High End Audio, music is unique among comm... | |
| Name the most recent album that has shaped your musical world Roxy Music Avalon. The euro pressing, the cover is a little taller than usual, had to change the shape of my musical world to fit it on the shelf. | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question Well, I can’t find, much less afford, a second run of Golden Presence but I’m haunted that I might not be getting the best from my Treos. Can’t help out with bi-wire, I think its a poor use of funds. But relax, there’s no point letting this haunt... | |
| The Right Stuff Yeah but pretty enough to be played by Sam Shepard in the movie. Plus he still has that fighter pilot gleam in his eye even at 89! Not sure how much dramatic license Tom Wolfe took, he is known for his incredible research but still has to make a ... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! That's a good one. Mine's even threaded. Thanks! | |
| NAD C275BEE break in period? Tin ear got the first post. Golden ear gets the one that counts. Don’t need experience with your particular amp. Which you will understand after you do this enough, because they all go through pretty much the same process. Right out of the box the... | |
| The icing on the cake Synergistic. Big sound, plenty of bass, beautiful midrange and wonderful imaging. The more you pay the better you get. The newer are better, but the older ones are so good I simply search around for what is in my price range and try and get the ne... | |
| The Right Stuff In his book The Right Stuff, Tom Wolfe writes about the impact Chuck Yeager had. His accent, style and speech patterns, the whole thing about staying cool as a cucumber under pressure, the way all pilots talk today, Wolfe goes into incredible deta... | |
| Best 2channel amps for my speakers. Subs can be connected any of a number of ways. If you have two channels out you can run one to each sub. Regardless of where they are, because sub bass is all mono. L & R both the same. You can split them with a splitter. If one sub or amp has... | |
| Do I need bi amping? Thinking about the ins and outs I would go bi before I would go trans. | |
| What does ‘balance preamp’ mean? Seriously. Get the book. Read the book. STUDY the book. The whole book. Unbelievable what you will learn. Introductory is newer than Complete, but there are current updated editions of both so you cannot go wrong. |
