| Aurios under JC1 monoblock's? One way to get glass to quit ringing is to put another piece of glass (or marble, or granite) on top with a thin sheet of foam (or sorbothane, or blue tack) between them. | |

| Wall mount rack options for all components Well G, if you can get into your crawl space without too much contortion, you can always what I call "spot stiffen" the floor where your rack or speaker will sit.This is done fairly easily by any builder (and a lot of handy homeowners) by using a ... | |
| Cable Break-in....again? C5150, I enjoyed your trancendental view of this hobby. I smell a new book in there somewhere!As for cables, my understanding as a result of reading many interviews with various cable manufactures, and studying the explanations of engineers and sc... | |
| Aurios under JC1 monoblock's? You should put the JC1 on top of the rocket ship instead of under it!Seriously, if you want to kill two birds with one stone (the 2nd "bird" being to kill any ringing in the glass) thenI'd recommend a number 4 Vibrapod under each foot of the amp. ... | |
| what is the best amp $3000.00 can buy I think you have to narrow your question to either tube or ss first. And maybe you have no idea right now. That's OK. The Ref3 will perform respectably with either kind, but you'll quickly discover you like them better with one kind vs. the other.... | |
| How long do speakers last? Rich, I thought the table you referred to was very interesting. Mainly, I was surprised to see such relatively short lifespans for materials that I thought lasted much longer (like silicone rubber and neoprene.)Might be a good reason to get new ca... | |
| Power cord 15amp and 20amp Jim, yes, and yes. I totally agree with you about the desireability of floating the shield at the component end. A friend of mine, very knowledgable (formerly of Wadia) instructed me on interrupting the shield at the IEC end of an OEM PC to make i... | |
| how to remove video noise on my plasma? DESPERATE Swamp, how can we find out how isolate our system ground from the cable company without messing up digital channel reception? I could write to whoever makes the current crop of isolators and ask them (follow the money, which they're about to loose... | |
| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 John, that's interesting. Mark Levinson, in their highly acclaimed 32 and 320s phono stages does something similar. If you go to their website and open the pdf owner's manual for the optional phonostage cards, it talks about how/why they achieve a... | |
| How long do speakers last? You could contact DCM directly and get heir advice. Their phone is 877-326-5683, or thru their website: www.dcmspeakers.comI'm sure they still work on older speakers, You could perhaps just send them the drivers for rehab. I'll bet they can even s... | |
| how to remove video noise on my plasma? DESPERATE If you're not getting audible "hum" as well, then I doubt it's 60 cycle emf. It sounds (looks?) more like RFI which might be coming from a digital device.Also, I understand it's not cool to put a CATV isolator (like the ones sold by Audio advisor)... | |
| Power cord 15amp and 20amp Hi Jim,You are quite right regarding the UL certification. And I was referring to the fact that not all vendors are entirely candid in their descriptions (which is why I said, " just so you won't be confused/misled")And while we're on the subject ... | |
| Review: Sony MDR-7506 Professional Headphones Tweak I sent Grant the following instructions (if anyone's interested) but he beat me to it, brave soul that he is!Hi Grant,It's pretty simple.To get the old one off, place your index and middle fingeragainst the interior edge (hole side) of the pad (al... | |
| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 Speedy, my suggestion? Get out your checkbook!For some time though, I wished I'd had a chance to hear the Silver Breeze before the Venustas (accidentally) came my way, fully broken in and about 2/3 off retail. Which I mention only because that's t... |
