| your thoughts on wireless signal transmission. On the recommendation of Duke I am running ordinary 14g PartsExpress wire. I was skeptical. But, Save your money for where it matters, he said, basic wire is fine for low bass. Sure seems he got it right again. Another one of those things where wh... | |

| VPI Prime or Prime Signature? You can never have too much turntable. Or cartridge. But while the cartridge is a wear item a good turntable is pretty much forever. A good arm though is even more forever than the table. You are getting into a price range where it makes sense to ... | |
| Bi-wiring? Bi-wiring works best with lamp cord or really cheap wire. The improvement/cost ratio is pretty good then. Technically its not that good even then, it just feels like a better deal when its only $2 more than when its $200 or $2000 even though in ev... | |
| Replaced CDP w/ Transport; Now, Soundstage Changes Dramatically w/each CD. Why? The idea with high end audio is not to have a system that "sounds good" but rather to have a system that sounds like nothing. No two recordings are ever the same. So if you are hearing them all the same it can only mean your system is imposing its... | |
| Moderately priced audio I am curious to see if you people are out there that love the music and get great joy out of listening to your moderately priced audio equipment. I've posted about this before. It was well enough known at work that people would come up to me f... | |
| Naim anomalies!? Let's just say, there's a reason "Genuine British Crapsmanship" is a thing.But, the wires don't have to cross in back. What you do to avoid this, simply reverse L/R on all your inputs. Naim would have thought of this, except being British and all.... | |
| Preamp Question I was just looking at your amp. There's plenty of room on the back for another pair of RCA inputs. And no you don't have to mess with the face plate all you need is to be able to switch between the two so you put a simple switch right there in the... | |
| DIY is not all about saving money At 13 I built 6" reflecting telescope and mount, and a Dynaco ST-400 when I was 14. After college I built transmission line speakers, which sounded great with my home brewed beer. In between I rebuilt my 240-Z engine and suspension. It'd be a bit... | |
| Nht binding post The owner's manual doesn't say anything about oversize, they don't look oversize, and the vast majority are the standard 1/4" post. Not like its gonna make any difference- you can bend a small one bigger as easily as a big one smaller. But if you'... | |
| Cheap Plywood stands VS expensive manufacturer's stands I have. Ideally like everything else you would try several and buy the best. Usually hard to do.But if you do then here's what you find: with your speakers on the really heavy, solid, stiff and stable stand the sound will be more solid, dynamic, a... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice By the way, what is so terrible about a 70db S/N ratio? For vinyl, that shouldn't be too obtrusive.This^ | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice Up the gain. For when you really need the volume.The other idea, putting a very low voltage and RIAA equalized cartridge signal into a device designed for line voltage, not to mention adding another interconnect to screw things up, and I'm not eve... |
