| 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. | |
| Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits? I got one for Xmas 20000 and have used it twice. They take too much time (especially off the computer, that sucks), i'd rather have a real copy with an insert, and i don't find copying moral. I also am not a 'best of..' guy, so i have not found a ... | |
| Has anyone had trouble with stereophile magazine? My girlfriend renewed my sub without my knowledge, and the Jan-March issues failed to show. I haven't bothered to email or anything. They aren't worth any hassle to me. I like reading the magazines to see what is coming out/going on, but Stereophi... | |
| stacking speakers? I overlooked Sean's good point. I assumed the monitors would be removed when not in use. Resonance is more likely to be a greater problem for music than HT in your situation. | |
| stacking speakers? Have you not tried it yet? You're probably in the best position in determining the implications.The only real possible problem i can see would be a compromised tonal balance due to the height of the placement and placement relative to the walls, b... |
