| Double up on speaker cables might be interesting. Many years ago a friend of mine read bout hooking up positive poles of Left and right channels into a center speaker to bring out detail recording engineers managed to drown out on master disc prior to pressing vinyl. We la... | |
| Speaker Slip Covers Have bought 3 digital deck covers so far for turntables and a REVOX B77 RtR and couldn’t be happier. I like the padded fabric but they have other choice. Give ‘em a call. Digital Deck Covers - Fabric | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. Michael Hedges’ “Aerial Boundaries,” Jeff Beck “For We’ve Ended As Lovers,” El Ten Eleven “Thinking Loudly” and/or “Fanshawe” King Crimson’s “I Talk to the Wind,” Nora Jones “Come Away with Me.” All on vinyl, all original pressings, are just ... | |
| Suggestions for testing a never installed, 20-year boxed amp. Many years ago I rebuilt a handful of very old (circa 1870-75) Acoustic Control Corp. solid state guitar/bass amplifiers. I had this same question. Yontz, at Mad Scientist Audio (? - been a long time) suggested using a light bulb current limiter,... | |
| Looking For Technicans That Would Rewire A SME V Had mine done two years ago by Alfred at smetonearms.com using ceramic bearing and the Cardas Litz wiring. More than happy with results. Thing about the bearings is, what may seem smooth enough to you - isn’t. I replaced the steel BB at the bott... | |
| When Was The Audio Golden Age? Reading through some of the comments and I gotta agree there ain’t no time like the right time and that time is right now. Or, to translate and simplify from a somewhat Kamala-esque word salad response: Now. It’s ALWAYS been “now.” | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I found a MINT copy of this LP a few weeks ago which didn’t break my monthly vinyl budget (much) and have been playing it a LOT. My son, a multi-instrument musician and drummer (ahem) has also given a listen on several occasions despite it bein... | |
| Running Springs Audio Duke PC for phono stage? @jafant I’ve asked that same question on other sites and am still awaiting an answer. Seems like the Dimitris come up for sale from time to time, maybe an occasional Duke, both in the $2k-4k price range. Either people are keeping these or they’... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? Wow. And here I thought I was the only one. To start, let me just say I LOVE cats. Can’t ever eat a whole one though… (ba-DUMP-dum-CHING! I’m here all week folks, two shows on Saturday nights. Tip your waiter) Cat dander is a much larger p... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A MINT match to the Saturday Night show I’ve had for years. 1961. | |
| New Audiogon URL restrictions are too much Thanks to the OP. Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Good to know. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? @danager Thanks for posting the link. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? @ortodox 02-29-2024 at 11:56am I went from 87 db speakers to 94 db speakers. Much better sound at low volume and less power needed. **** I had a similar experience with going from 85 dB sensitivity (84-86 depending on whose numbers one ... | |
| PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound No. I have not (yet) tried any of these devices, although the Puron intrigues me, even more so that I have yet to see them popping up in the used ePay or usual used audio component sales sites. They either work, work well enough to keep, or are s... | |
| PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound FYI: Compliment NOT the same as complement. Just as AFFect not the same as EFFect. Or, as the pundit said to appease the grammarian: there, their, they’re. |
