| Hooking up my JL sub @millercarbon. Thanks BTW. Stupid question: is there a decent grade LOC unit that you recommend? Also, a few I saw online have a bunch of color coded wires sticking out. Which wires connect to the R/L of the amp speaker output. Hard as this is to ... | |
| Tracking Matters Most Pretty standard fare. The one comment that stands out to me comes at 13 minutes when he says that groove noise is not cleanliness but "majorly" comes down to stylus jitter, which in turn comes down to vibration control in the moving mass of the sy... | |
| Best home remedy for paper cone woofers cleaning the dust off? I might wipe them every once in a while with a clean sponge, barely damp with water. No cleaner. No conditioner. Won't do any good. The ozone that is responsible for most of the degradation of rubber or foam is generated inside the cabinet by the ... | |
| Theoretica Applied Physics BACCH-SP adio 3D Sound Processor Holy gimmickry, Batman!Yes, Robin. These marketing types have no shame.But Batman! How can they stay in business? Only a fool would buy such nonsense!Yes, Robin. But one is born every minute. A sad fact of our human condition. | |
| Hooking up my JL sub Yes. But a Line Out Converter might be a better solution. The LOC connects to your amps speaker out and drops the signal down to line level allowing you to use the subs RCA inputs. Parts Express has one for under $10. | |
| Harry Nilsson The 5th Beatle comes out with a white album. Fitting. | |
| Turntable adjustment Am I reading this right? You put a $100 cartridge on a $70 turntable?Anything around this level the turntable comes first. Live and learn. | |

| Budget of components What's your total budget?Because even imaginary budgeting, if you're gonna do it right, the things it makes sense to budget for change completely depending on the budget. At $1500 it makes sense to budget for a turntable that will come in a packag... | |
| Prima Luna Prologue Premium or.... Its a shame they use such cheap plastic terminals. And no sub/pre-out? Oh well. At least its not made in China. | |
| Sub advice needed I prefer accurate, tight bass without boominess. Me too. The importance of having four cannot be overstated. Ported or sealed, driver size and wattage all pale in comparison. Nothing I ever heard anywhere comes close to what I have now with my d... | |
| Please help me decide... Well first off don't do anything until you get some decent speaker wire. And please don't tell me you're using the black plastic freebie power cord junk they threw in the shipping box? Patch cords, I shudder even to think... | |
| Audio hobby is like tasting wine. Also there is one aspect of wine that doesn't translate to audio, aging. Au contraire, mon frere, they do compare. Allow me to clear the air! Both a NOS 2004 Dunham Cabernet Sauvignon and a vintage 1953 Westinghouse 300B are worth more now than ... | |
| Help in minimizing hiss Some audiophiles think its all about being able to hear the music. But as we all know its really all about the hiss. As a great audiophile once said, "If you hear the hiss, you must dismiss." | |
| Another Music Direct Catalog observation Music Direct. Symptomatic of the undeniable waning of "hi-fi" as a hobby. Good one. |
