| Help Wadia wt2000 tray's paint I don't want to guess what the best procedure would be, so I recommend you call or write to Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound Companyhttp://www.greatnorthernsound.com/Steve was in charge of Wadia's service department when the WT2000 was in pro... | |
| Help Wadia wt2000 tray's paint I've had my WT2000 since new (almost 20 years!) and it's been to the factory once (for the transport upgrade) and to Steve Huntley at GNSC for a lube & oil change. It's as clean as the day I bought it. What exactly is the problem with your tra... | |
| DIGITAL OUT: Optical Cable vs. Coaxial Cable When I referred to "variations in the 75ohm interface" I meant variations in the ability of different types of connectors to maintain the integrity of the RF signal across the interface; and not the quality of construction. Sorry for the misunders... | |
| DIGITAL OUT: Optical Cable vs. Coaxial Cable Richard, I agree there are differences in Toslink cable construction; but I wonder if you compared the MIT Toslink cable with an equally "better" metal one?My earlier point was that Toslink performance can be pushed only so far until it runs into ... | |
| DIGITAL OUT: Optical Cable vs. Coaxial Cable The main reason Toslink is crap has nothing (or VERY LITTLE) to do with the cable quality. It has to do with the cheap transceivers (the device you plug the cable into at each end) used in Toslink systems. It's convenient and sometimes necessary w... | |
| what a speaker and power cable needs my system I agree with everything JWP said except I was going to recommend Purist Venustas (a little more expensive than Aqueous.) | |
| Purist Audio vs. Synergistic Research ICs I you can only afford Aqueous, the similarly priced SR will give you more bang for the buck. However, if you can afford a little more (for the Venustas) you will have the best cable value in audio IMO.I was considering SR, Transparent, and Straigh... | |
| Vinyl to PC Wadia makes a couple, and for Wadia, rather reasonably priced, too ;-) | |
| Question on a Levinson 27.5 amp Ading, I have a Madrigal schematic for a 23/23.5 voltage change. I don;t know if it would apply to your 27.5. It's pretty simple though -- a few jumper changes to the input board. So if your board is identical, it probably works the same way. Or y... | |
| McIntosh MC-75 in unknown condition, what do I do? Nikki, it wont't cost you anything but patience and vigilance before you come up with a second one at a reasonable cost (or no cost!) It's just a matter of time and watchfulness. At that point (and it WILL happen) I bet your speculation about what... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Bicicyle_man, in fairness, I have seen "museum quality" TFK 803S's go for as much as $1400 a pair on eBay (before the financial meltdown!) They ARE rare, and if one is a collector (and has no intention of using them - which blows my mind ;-) I sup... | |
| What the most musical power amp for under $1K? Louis - I'll send you an email. Neil | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Bicycle_man, isn't that queen just too much!? It cracks me up every time I see his auctions!Bob, I applaud your reminding us all of this:. . . but making sure to go back and see if a change is ultimately an improvement, or just a change.Human bein... | |
| Help in isolating a TT with spring suspension. Chris, if you can't do a wall shelf, you have only one alternative and that's to secure the floor. The easiest way to do that is to put two or four posts (depending on the joist spacing) in the crawl space to support the floor joists right under w... | |
| What the most musical power amp for under $1K? The only person I agree with is Sit -- buy preowned equipment. Remember, it's going to be used when you sell it; so it might as well be used when you buy it!Now, bearing in mind you own a pair of Von Schweikert VR4 SE's, along with some other very... |
