| Recent sound deterioration shrillness, ringing Al...thanks as usual for your insight. I always learn so much from your posts.I have a comment and a couple of questions that I hope you can answer.I find it hard to believe that in this day and age that a manufacturer such as Peachtree would sell... | |
| Suggest budget CDP to use as transport Rotel RCD-1072 is an excellent CD player and just as good as a transport. Very well built. They run used around $350 or so. The Pioneer Elite PD-65 is also a nice unit. The CD goes in upside down in this unit.Actually there is a CEC TL-5100 listed... | |
| Recent sound deterioration shrillness, ringing Broadstone...I've been following your dilemma on some of your other posts.Why can't you hook up your sub via the high level inputs and use your amp to connect it? You just parallel the speaker wires coming out of the amp. Or you could even run a s... | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport Alex...nice unit. I'm sure you'll be happy with it. | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport I've never owned an Esoteric, but have had several CEC units. I currently use a CEC TL-2 and find it to be the best transport that I have ever owned, (and I've owned LOTS of them).I'm sure either one would be an excellent choice. | |

| Jazz Club In Your Living Room I'm waiting (patiently) for an in-home Holodeck :-) That would be sweet! | |

| Solder for ank legend monoblocks? I have some WBT solder and it's fine. I think the Cardas flows better. | |
| Turntable issue Sounds like a ground has come off or broken somewhere. Could be as easy as the ground from the tonearm to the phono stage, or worse, a broken ground inside the arm-tube.It could maybe a bad tube in your Phono Box S or a tube that is starting to go... | |
| Solder for ank legend monoblocks? +2 for Cardas. Have used it for many years. Never a problem.It's a Quad Eutectic solder. Quad Eutectic solder contains a proprietary blend of silver, copper, tin & lead.It flows better than any solder I've tried. | |
| Is my stylus damaged ? Tracking force on that Shure cartridge with the M35X stylus should be between 1.5 and 3 grams. I'd set it at around 2.5 grams. | |
| Is my stylus damaged ? The stylus is "sliding" across the record because you probably don't have enough tracking force (VTF) applied to the arm.Here are the instructions to do that. It's a different model, but the procedure is the same. This is a BASIC way to do it. Usi... |
