| “BLOCK” Function? That's already what happens here. There's a distinct group of alcoholics view every thread as a bar, and they are like Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas out to drink themselves to death in the virtual pub crawl to end all virtual pub crawls. The... | |
| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl paulgardner- @millercarbon Can I ask where you got a carbon fiber outer ring clamp? I need one! Everyone does! Took mine to CES one year, compared with a bunch of em, its a great clamp. DJ Casser must have been impressed, he copied it, and so his ... | |
| Glue from inner sleeves leeching onto records Wow, thought I knew all the reasons to avoid "audiophile" reissues, and now one more! Tom Port looking better and better all the time. Glue calls for chemical removal which calls for research and testing different chemicals. Xylene, toluene, etc.... | |
| “BLOCK” Function? Exactly. Threads about nothing, that's what we need more of! If only we had enough of those, then maybe all the people with nothing to contribute would gravitate to them and have all their virtually meaningless virtual non-conversations on the thr... | |
| Turntable choices What do you mean "lost an output channel"? This is pretty basic stuff. Either a cartridge pin pulled out, or a phono wire somewhere lost connection. You know which channel it is. That narrows it down to like 3 feet of wire. If you're not going to... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) Come on Oz, you know the answer. Right? You have read the DBA threads, right? So you know that with subs more is always better. Right? And they don't have to be the same. And the more you get the less it matters what and where they are. Right? | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice EL34 are a bit warmer than KT88, which are very slightly warmer than 6550C. But these are gross generalizations, and its a mistake to focus on the tubes. In reality the transformers are equally as important, as are the quality of caps, power supp... | |
| “BLOCK” Function? How're we doing? Would think all you junior Marxists would've figured this one out by now. No? Nothing? Come on, man! | |
| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl Wrong on all of it. You tried three different clamps. If none of them are designed like I said you could try a hundred more and it won’t prove a thing- other than that a lot of record clamps are of poor design. Which is why I made my own. There ar... | |
| Q acoustics harsh high end The fact that some manufacturers use burn-in to delay returns long enough for people to get used to it and decide to live with bad sound is no reason to conclude its not a real thing. Burn-in is definitely a real thing. But what also is a real thi... | |
| “BLOCK” Function? Its also nice to be able to read a thread that doesn't go completely off topic. Something maybe the OP is only now beginning to relate to. Or not. Reading comprehension, self-awareness, both in short supply. Virtue signaling, that we have in abun... | |
