| Neotech NEI 3001 III I know a guy who has been building his own for over 30 years. Interconnects, power cords, speaker cables. Whole basement work bench devoted to it. Built all the designs. Dissected, torn down and reverse-engineered more different designs than you c... | |
| Platter wobble So let's see it sounds like the platter when removed lays flat. The bearing when you check it turns true. So the problem is probably what teo_audio outlined, the platter got bent, probably somewhere near the center. What you need then is some way ... | |
| PRIMA LUNA DIALOGUE PREMIUM - 20 minutes and then loud pop and buzzing in 1 channel Sorry to hear. Especially since Prima Luna is on my very short list of amps if I were to replace or upgrade mine. You've made all the right moves to narrow it down to something internal, like caps or transformers or wiring. The 20 minutes makes me... | |
| What is the least compressed signal? Well, not just the source but everything matters. Everything. It is literally endless. Just for starters consider that your speakers are "hot-rodded" which means someone figured out that to get the most out of those speakers you first need to chan... | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? g_nakamoto asks:what does 'spiking' mean?This goes back to a misconception a lot of guys have about how cones work. When we don't understand something very well we reach for metaphors which in this case watch for 'grounding', 'coupling', 'sink', '... | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? Set em on some Cones.You will have to experiment to find which works best. None need to be fastened, the weight of the speaker holds everything just fine. Also experiment with placing different things like MDF about 3" to 4" square or round direct... | |
| Helmhotz resonators for audiophile at almost no cost and without calculus... It could take a while to accumulate all those wine bottles. Could I just use a keg instead? | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Ridiculous: Stereophile's Jonathan Scull. Tie between the time he said the cleaning lady moved his carpet and it sounded better with the fibers going one way than another, and the time he said his CD player sounded worse after some work being done... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Just wondering if we can get a little clarification- is the question what do you think (imagine, fantasize, hope) or are we talking about tweaks we've actually tried? | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? ricred1 asks: How do you isolate the amplifier? It's a system and every component, including the room impacts the sound. Well the customary method is you disconnect it and swap it out with another amplifier. Just be sure to swap only the amp. Y... | |
| If some is good, is more better? You will get advice, and boy will you get advice. But the only way to know for sure is try it yourself and find out. Other than that let me congratulate you for cleaning them at all. Most never clean. Then when they change cables they notice it so... | |
| Used vs New vs Vintage vs Floorstanding vs Bookshelf vs ..... OMG! 1. Read. Read reliable solid info like Robert Harley's Complete Guide to High End Audio. Study that book like your life depends on it. Literally decades since my first read and still not a day goes by I don't see questions here that are answered i... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. That was pretty much my experience exactly. Kept reading comments and reviews, couldn't find anything locally worth buying, read a bunch more then finally called Keith. Never recommend anything but in-home audition but sometimes you just can't. Ho... | |
| et-2 damping trough-good idea or not? According to their own instructions its attached by adhesive, which if you apply only light pressure can be repositioned. So you could try it and then if you like it press it more securely. http://www.eminent-tech.com/Manuals/ET2damping.pdfActuall... | |
| Blow dryer causes audible buzz from power amps in two audio systems... erik_squires writes: One possible easy solution is to move the bathroom circuit to another phase. May work if it happens to share the same phase as the two amps. Right. Easiest would be if there's another same amp breaker directly across just s... |
