| Stylus not tracking and sounds terrible So its always been crooked. Sounds like you've had a bad cartridge for a long time and just didn't know it. Probably the whole motor mechanism was improperly installed, or knocked out of position somehow. But for a long time although it was crooke... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? You can relax and stop worrying. There is always something you are missing. Always some upgrade that will make everything better. Always. So relax.Also in my experience audio buddies are absolutely no good whatsoever. At least not in terms of help... | |
| A "How To" question on Sunfire SDS 12 set up. Any advice welcome. Age doesn't matter. Connections don't matter. All that matters is finding locations and settings that allow the subs to reinforce and extend bass response smoothly. The more subs you have the easier this becomes, which is why the best method is a ... | |
| Connector system between 12 GAUGE speaker wires The customary solution with plain old wire like that is to strip about a half an inch and twist the ends together. | |
| Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax nonoise,What's the name they give to the fallacious argument that says you have to prove what you hear to anyone else? | |

Don't conflate the two. Which you ... | |
| anyone have experience with "replacement cost" insurance, and Allstate? Hard to believe they won't be able to fix and restore it to better than new for a lot less than replacement. If Allstate balks in any way I would show them a few listings from say eBay or here, and the current Levinson model prices. Then when they... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? Here's the one thing Skoff said that really matters: there's no way—other than by listening to it—to determine which direction a piece of wire's "preferred" direction of signal flow may be. Exactly. | |
| DIY 'rack' made from dead tree brances ? I built one of these, entirely by hand, best rack ever. Some fallen trees, some freshly cut, a little bamboo, with a nice big flat piece of driftwood on top. The hardest part is building the electronics. Was still digging for ore when the plane ca... | |
| ATI AT6007 amplifier hum Well you can always hunt around for one. However I seriously doubt that you really need it. 20 amps I mean. | |
| ATI AT6007 amplifier hum If the hum is coming directly from the power transformer in the amp itself then its caused by DC offset. Other current draws on the circuit can sometimes cause this, in which case you may be able to eliminate the hum by turning different things of... | |
