| Price for ARC PH3 SE and PH5 The new issue of Tone Audio has a review of the new ARC PH6, but he also has on hand a PH3SE and a PH5 to compare with the PH6. It's a very well done review.I have both a PH3 and a PH3SE and both are superb. I agree that tube selection is pretty i... | |
| What will be the data storage method of the future Maybe the Rolling Stones had it right years ago:"Hey, hey, you, you...get off of my cloud". | |
| MFSL Silver label Vinyl-English Beat- I have every single one of the MOFI Silver Series releases so far. I have not listened to this title yet, but everything else has been superb.I'll try to listen to this one this weekend... | |
| What the heck is "reverse polarity" ? Clark Johnsen wrote a book called "The Wood Effect". It is considered by many the ipso facto of phase and polarity.A good read, if you really want more answers... | |
| Best used VHS player.... I have a Sony 4-head, hi-fi unit that is very good. I hardly ever use it anymore. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Sorry, I also might add to try some different interconnect cables too. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP You could try to dampen the wall behind the speakers and the side walls. You could also get a 2ohm or even a 3ohm resistor and try that, but normally dipoles need some type of acoustic treatment. | |
| 2ce sig ii tilt and listening height The only answer is what sounds better to you? Almost all systems will shift the image and soundstage as you move up and down and side to side. Find the sound you're looking for and "listen to the music". | |
| USED VINYL It keeps the album from shifting inside the jacket during shipping and cutting the jacket (seam splits). | |
| Your best chair you listen to your gear If you have the bucks, Ekornes Stressless Chairs are probably one of the best. Very comfortable and cool looks.BTW, I've seen Theo play his "air" instruments...it isn't pretty. | |
| Classic records reissue - very disappointing I agree with Schipo. I own a lot of the Classic stuff from very early on to the final end. Some of the best are the 45RPM boxsets on Clarity Vinyl that came out right before their demise.I do have a few that are pretty weak, but overall, I've been... | |
| Anybody in Denver go to Audio Unlimited yesterday? John Barnes, the owner of Audio Unlimited, past away a couple of weeks ago. His wife decided to close the business that was run out of their house. He was pretty prominent in the Denver audio scene and with RMAF. | |
| My system is too loud Most MM cartrides need only around 40-42db of phono preamp gain. You need to add in the line stage gain of course, which is listed as 12db for your dehavilland. That gives you a total of 62db. That's quite a bit. I think your 50db setting on the K... | |
| Capacitor Help As long as you go higher in vac value, you're fine. I think the Solens are probably better caps than the Daytons. | |
| Difficulty determining cartridge specs for preamp The specs I found for the Samba indicate an output of .38mv, so I would recommend up around 60db or so, but as Viridian said above, it also depends on the gain of your preamp added in. The load impedance is stated at 10 ohms and usually moving coi... |
