| Anyone know the dimensions of Basis 1400? A cool thing about the Basis, i don't know if you know, is that there is flexibility in the orientation of the motor to tthe table. It can be to the side, in the back... | |
| SS amps. Why so much power? 1)A true audiophile, i think, buys the amp that will allow their speaker to best do what it does, including decent SPLs. My speakers as well as others' just require high power to really do anything at all. 2)The mid-phile will buy the most powerfu... | |
| Alice and Chains Very sad. I thought he had a great voice.Actually, no studies I have seen (more than a few) show that faith itself correlates with depression. I am a psych major writing a thesis with a small part pertaining to the correlation between affiliation ... | |
| Beginner in Vinyl - How far should I go? A cheap TT like the TEAC will wear the records more than than the entry hi-fi TTs due to lack of cartridge/arm adjustment and maybe b/c of the poorer quality cart. A well set up rig with a decent cartridge goes a long way in avoiding wear. And i a... | |
| Audio Electronics Supply PH-1 The only tubes i have used are RCA red base. I have not made any comparisons between the ph-1 and other preamps. If i change the caps or tubes i'll let you know the results. | |
| Who's hip to the Nottingham line of Turntables??? Hip? The 'gon is more meat and potatos.The the asl web-pictures make the TTs colors brighter than they are in real life. I'm not a big fan of the aesthetics either, but the effect is a bit more subtle than the pics make you believe.Why are you not... | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? All right...I have my drapes overlap at the exact center between my speakers. I acutally measured, its sooo sad. The center of the window is to the right of the center of the soundstage, creating an optical illusion that the stage is off. | |
| Audio Electronics Supply PH-1 I'll just say that it is not exactly a low-noise design, at night or day. | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? Rlwainwright - I used to work at a used CD store. Your need to have the label oriented with the case is surprisingly common. | |
| Free turntable speed check strobe Yep, 60hz for US. | |
| What is the best Table/Arm combo for 2000 or less I really think the Nottingham Interspace is a significant step up from the Rega 25. It has a high-mass platter, a low torque motor (you have to push-start the platter, no 'on' switch) that is fairly well isolated and plays with more solidity and f... | |
| How do you decide on new music to buy? Notice how no one mentions conventional radio. (Now, maybe instead of 'radio', we should just call it 'ClearChannel'.) A decent number of my finds came from an AP 'best 100 albums of the 90s' article/thing, including My Bloody Valentine's fantasti... | |
| Good Audio System for Living Room You may like the LFD Mistral integrated amps. For SS, they fit your description very well. Not bit of grain or harshness or brightness, real easy, good color, and the unit is compact and attractive. I don't think there is a remote availible, if th... | |
| Quality recordings that make you want to dance For me,Doors - Morrison HotelTalking Heads - all of 'em. Lords of Acid - Voodoo-U, the funnest album ever,and too many butt-rock albums to list. | |
| Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits? I forgot...when i get the time i am going to copy my rare cds and just play the copies. |
