| Do all tubes char inside when they die? Newbee, I guess I should have qualified that comment.I didn't mean that if a tube has been behaving it should never explode! And if it does it could just be random failure, but I just meant I'd look elsewhere too, especially if it's been giving go... | |
| How To Store Record Collection? I'm about to order some LP storage units from this fellow:http://www.tonyswoodshop.com/They are beautifully made from hardwoods, and very reasonably priced at $35 - $45 per module depending on the wood (includes shipping). I've talked with him on ... | |
| Do all tubes char inside when they die? I basically agree with Jeff, but as a precaution, it might be advisable to have the unit checked out to make sure that some passive component (like a bad resistor) is not causing tube failure.If your tubes were all placed in service at the same ti... | |
| Please, DON'T TOUCH George has it right! Fageddabout diplomacy or psychology or instruction-giving. UNLESS YOUR VISITORS ARE ALSO AUDIOPHILES, lock off the living room, or lock up the equipment in a closet. | |
| Turntable Stands Nudge is right. The best stand/rack, even on a concrete slab, will never outperform a good wall shelf. And if the wall happens to be masonry (brick or block) you are a truly lucky audiophile. | |
| Next on the list for Mahler.... My favorite Mahlers (on vinyl) but listed numerically, not in the order of listening preference.:Sym. #1: Carlo Maria Giulini / Chicago Symphony / Angel Performance ***** Sonics ***** I always use this this recording to introduce people to Mahler ... | |
| AC line conditioners Martin Glasband, of Equi=Tech spent years cleaning up recording studio power. Then in 1992 he introduced the use of balanced power units on which he holds several US patents. Until 1996 (I think) they were only used professionally in studios while... | |
| Installing a dedicated AC line First, go to the forum search field and type in "dedicated." That will being up an extensive list of threads. If you still have questions, come back here and ask. | |

| Always on ? This has already been extensively covered in these forums. A quick search should find you more than you really want to know ;~)) | |
| MAM-A Mitsui vs. Taiyo Yuden - Which One? Avideo, what exactly did you mean when you said,"if the FIRST CD disc is burned at regular playback speed."Is that somethin that had to do with using a professional duplicator? Thanx | |
| XLO Cables Thomas, I'd go with the Venustas. But if you're going to use an RCA to RCA (not an RCA to DIN) make sure you get the tonearm version and not a "regular" RCA pair. And if you have a separate phono preamp, then get a "regular" Venustas RCA pair to g... | |
| equipment on cones Thanks hoover. BTW, there is one device I know of that combines the properties of removal (cones) and absorbtion(rubber) and that is Stillpoints. But they're pretty expensive. | |
| equipment on cones To determine whether you put the single cone in front or in back, take two cones and place one at the midpoint of each side and see whether the component wants to tip forward or backward. Place two cones in the direction of tip (usually the back b... | |
| sub-woofer with ML Summits I use a single Depth w/ my ML CLSs and it's amazing in all ways. Seamless and fast, organ music is real again. It's better (faster) than he Descent too, a conclusion shared by many people now.However, I've heard the Summits, and I honestly can't i... |
