Sometimes it's just your GD router flickering out!! I'm hardwired Erik. One time I WiFied after a critter chewed threw the Cat 5 cable to the back rooms. Hard wire is better.. No doubt. I BT a bit..

Building a New Listening Room on a Budget 10K, or WAY less, I’d say. 1 20 amp dedicated and an outlet every 4 feet @ least two different circuits on the SAME rail at the mains.. Three total 1 20 dedicated..I’m not much of a studio look kind of guy.. I use HEAVY retractable curtains and I’... | |
Infinity RS IIb L. F. Equalizer I own a pair. I still have the bass contour here somewhere. I quit using that pile of crap 20 years ago. A Mac C20 has a bass contour built in that is much better. The issue was the bass bloat.I went to a servo system, then to a full blown dsp on ... | |
Equipment Maintenance/Cleaning Victrola HERE... YUP works perfect..I have a pair of red center co axle drivers in Teak enclosures, pre WWI. Work perfect, 32 ohm speakers.. Silk surrounds, probably last another 100 years...The 100+ year old solid Teak boxes are worth how much? | |

Conrad-Johnson Discolored (rusty?) Allen screws on side of MF-2550. OP a little dab will do you. Put a little light oil like 3 in one or lighter WD40 on a soft fiber or even brass bristle tooth brush size brush. Gently brush the heads of the cap bolts. Just get them wet.. Leave it alone. Let it set for 20 min or s... | |
Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! OP what happens when you move the adjustment to the other end of the 3 groves? Does the tracking get worse or better?

Why not more popular? OP so we are clear the NX-Oticas are a long ways into Dannys speaker making career. Some of the early OB that GR had dealings with, it took a football field to get them to sound OK. The later stuff and Danny’s personal growth has certainly helped.... | |
Decoupling for Cornwall IV's I looked at the isolation pad, it’s pretty specific, 63 hz. If your looking for complete DE coupling you need to go with springs, shocks and sorbothane gaskets between the suspension parts... Just like a Rolls Royce.. :-)Regards | |
Equalization for vinyl nirvana You know Master M has a point.. you can EQ a room mechanically too.IF the dynamics are GONE on one recording and not on the other it pretty obvious that’s a recording issue. If it’s lacking in the vinyl playback ONLY, there is a gear problem. If y... |
