| Best roof antenna for vintage tube fm tuner You will need 2 antennae. For digital TV most stations are now UHF. FM is in the middle of the old VHF band. Go to antennaweb.org to get info on the TV antenna for your address and you can see if you need a rotor.For FM at 45 miles you may not nee... | |
| Oppo 105 and Power Amplifier Input Sensitivity @atmasphere is correct if the output impedance of the Oppo 105 is greater than 2000 ohms, but it is not specified by them in the manual, and it is quite routine to specify 47 Kohms as a suggested input impedance.It will cost you nothing to try it ... | |
| Warm/Forgiving AES/EBU digital cable less then $1000 OK on the Matrix, I guessed it might be something like a M2TECH.I still say not to spend $600+ on an expensive cable, unless you try something like a Mogami (I built mine for $20) and don't like the results.IMHO asking a digital cable to "warm" a ... | |
| Warm/Forgiving AES/EBU digital cable less then $1000 What kind of laptop has an AES/EBU output? | |
| Warm/Forgiving AES/EBU digital cable less then $1000 Buy the Mogami and spend the $950 on the upgrades. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Now, I'm getting confused. Nearly every post on a dedicated breaker that I can remember has cautioned that a separate ground rod is a code violation? What gives? | |
| How much difference do lower mass cartridge clips make in playback? I can suppose no reason why a "low mass" clip would improve sound (rather the opposite).I like the Mitchell clips better than the Cardas. See if you can stick a round toothpick in the loose clip and squeeze carefully with small pliers to regain te... | |
| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey I recommend for you to pursue a really good headphone system. | |
| Good 5-pin DIN to RCA/XLR phono cable? Go to audiosensibilty.com. They can custom make for ~$200. | |
| Headphone Amp for Focal Utopias? I'm driving Focal Elears with a used Schiit Jotunheim.. | |
| Heresy's II Finally Sound Right-sorry if there's a place i should have put this post.... Cool! Think about selling the Rotel and getting something like the Schiit Saga preamp for $399. It has 2 pairs of rca outputs so you can connect the sub. | |
| MC Cartridge Ideas My present go-to recommendation for cartridge questions, is to call Soundsmith with your system info and budget, and listen very carefully. You will get a quality US made product with a reasonable stylus replacement cost and spectacular imaging. | |
| XLR connectors I agree with erik & bob! Also, unless you plan on replacing the chassis connectors on your electronics, it would seem pointless to plug a $100 xlr cable connector into the $4 Neutrik on your device. | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable If you are often fiddling with the speed adjuster, you may have created a "flat spot" in the 10 turn pot. Go to USAM, look for dealers on the right side and contact hyendaudio. He can help you with advice and parts. I replaced the pot and my Delph... | |
| Replacement motor for Oracle Delphi turntable Again, go to USAM and look for hyendaudio in the dealers section. He will not charge you to answer a question. For me, I simply needed to replace the 33 rpm 10 turn pot on the regulator board. |
