| Ethics: To what degree? The "protection" alluded to aspects of this "community" has always interested me. In virtually any other venue, we see no reason not to announce that we had a "bad" meal or "bad" service at some restuarant or voice some complaint about something (... | |
| Cartridge Leads First, I do believe the leads make a difference. I use the AQ Litz/w cotton leads. I have read somewhere about some dissatifaction with the Cardas spring clips themselves. I would imagine that VDH silver would make a difference, just like copper v... | |
| New Cart? Best all around performer...MM or HO Although I curently use a ZYX R100, it replaced a Grado Sonata, which does midrange very well and HF/LF adequately for a MM. My friend uses a CA Maestro and has nothing but great things to say about it, especially comparing it to MC's he's had in ... | |
| Does a good sounding surge protector exist? Another APC H15 user. | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? Tvad- Wiring into the upper post and jumping to the bottom is something I've been doing (and suggesting) for quite a while also from recommendations by Tannoy and Stuart Marcus (Vampire Wire). It's good to hear others using this technique. | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? If you don't believe that splicing a four-inch piece of inferior wire into your primary speaker cable run will effect the sound, then no, jumpers made from the same cable won't make a sonic difference. Use the brass bars. Whether using expensive j... | |
| Power conditioner plugged into computer battery I use an APC H15 (non battery backup) in my HT and it works great. It does not limit the current to either mt B&K receiver or ART of Sound sub. It enhanced the video picture also. With voltage regulation and surge protection, it has been terri... | |
| Dimmer noise When I bought my house, it had nothing but dimmer switches. I changed them all. | |
| Sales: truth in weight? When I did question shipping cost regarding an LP being shipped by Media Mail (THE cheapest and slowest form of delivery), I was informed that the inflated cost was for shipping AND handling. This was not part of the ad and nothing that I know of ... | |
| What a voice Funny thing, last Sunday I was just pulling vinyl and listening to various LPs and I played Frankie Laine's hits. On Tuesday he died. Just a lucky appreciation of a great voice before he left us. | |
| HiFi lacking social recognition? Crap! This was my only chance to get into Forbes. Oh well... | |
| Mitsubishi LT-30 specs needed I'll see what I can do when I get home. I may have a manual, or at the least provide you a name of the person I bought my LT-30 from who might be able to help. | |
| What cable would you choose? Outlaw PCA's are made with continuous cast copper, which should sound pretty good. The only thing holding them back are the cheap connectors. Before break-in, they do sound just as described above, harsh, etc. I use CCC cabling from Vampire throug... | |
| Anybody still using soft rubber isolation devices? I've gone from Sobothane to brass cones to (finally) Myrtle wood blocks (with a thin layer of Sorbothane on the bottom between the block and the shelf). All under the amp. | |
| Sealed Loudspeakers? NSM and Role Audio speakers are generally sealed. |
