| Dedicated Power Line Project Been there, done that. Almost exact same distance and scenario. Originally, wired to code, the system circuit daisy chained like yours with my system near the end. This was replaced first with a direct run of 12 ga. Then this was replaced with a d... | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) Look at it this way- from what you have to something like say a Prima Luna integrated isn't really simplifying. Its really an upgrade. | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. What amazes me about threads like this, even more than Ted's incredible ability to continually best himself, is how eager and diligent some are to tell us all in no uncertain terms just how awful they are at listening and remembering what they've ... | |
| In search of DIY Audio Equipment Rack Materials @miller: Yes, prices for 3-shelf and 4-shelf run from $3K to $4.5K. I'm in the wrong business. That's nuts. See my post on the recent stable turntable rack thread for a rack that is a whole lot cheaper, works a whole lot better, and even looks... | |
| Vinyl Users - Best/Favorite room air cleaner You know your furnace filter? Change it. | |
| Sturdy Turntable Stand mijostyn: Way to go millercarbon:) Thanks. If the OP builds one of these he will not be disappointed.The best rack is of course no rack at all. For years my turntable sat on the floor. Try it, you will find it is very hard to do better. Very hard... | |
| What is wrong here.. on Audiogon? Maybe this is just me, but I go by quality not quantity. As long as you get one helpful answer, does it really matter how many fart jokes the other people get? | |
| Sturdy Turntable Stand Right. That is pretty much what I did. DIY. Next step up from what uberwaltz built, incorporate a sand bed into the shelf the turntable will sit on. Next step up from that would be what I did, cast the shelves from concrete with a sand bed cast in... | |
| Synergistic Research Power Cell One Haven't heard that particular one, but all the Synergistic that I have heard (and that is a lot!) carries their signature sound (big, bold, deep, and detailed) in evenly impressive across the board increments as you go up the line in price. Power ... | |
| In search of DIY Audio Equipment Rack Materials "Specially made" ha. Good one. Its called threaded rod. Sold by the foot all over the place, in whatever diameter, whatever thread pitch, whatever material (brass, stainless, etc) you want. Even the round brass nuts with set screws are probably of... | |
| Amps with meters ... Yes no doubt amps with VU meters are better than amps with LED. Unless maybe lots and lots of LED. Whole bunch of them in rows by frequency. With dials. And sliders. Lots and lots of sliders. | |
| Who remembers audio from the time when ... In Jr High back in 1973 I had a paper route earned me enough to buy my first system. Today everyone has access to everything. Or at least you know its there, even if you can't afford it. Back then though unless a friend tells you or you happen acr... | |
| answer for beginners, pls Most economical and best sound quality is to connect the earphone jack on the laptop to the amp using an RCA adaptor. | |
| How have I missed out for soooo long!!!! If you like it now, wait till you hear it with a decent phono stage. It sounds like you were using a turntable that had a built-in phono stage, which would explain your comments as those are crap. But now you are using the stage in the Marantz rec... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen The only speaker that can satisfy kenjit is unfortunately unavailable, as it is being used in the Bose Wave Radio. |
