Walker High-Def Links v. Cell Phone EMI-RFI
If you think this is a problem through your home system, you ought to hear what it sounds like through a bank of wireless microphone receivers connected to a PA system. Always fun...-Richard 
Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment?
Jonathan,Thanks for your PS reference. I think you are referring to US Patent #4,351,045 - I tried a search on the number you gave and it spit out a result from 1875 - a bit before Max's time. This sounds like quite the fascinating tool/idea; I've... 
Art Audio Vinyl One & RHB Sound Dezigns?
I'm curious as to what was done, how long it took, and (obviously) the cost. 
Suck out at 165 hz...can't find the cause
I suspect it's something in your room, or as others have noted, something in the speaker positioning. Also, while you confess some degree of confusion regarding room-mode calculations, I'm curious how you arrived at the exact frequency you cite? D... 
Best Live Recording on LP
No offense Tzh21y, but the Allison Krauss Live LP on MoFI is so painfully digital, thin and brittle sounding that a great bunch of tunes are left utterly stripped of life leaving behind a mere skeleton...too bad because I've had the pleasure of se... 
Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far
Just acquired Jenny Lewis' "Acid Tongue" and gave it my first spin last night. In a word: excellent. Stellar performance and recording on 3 sides. Again from late 2008, but what the hell. Also have been enjoying the latest Marianne Faithful (great... 
Precision Fidelity C7/A: To modify or leave as is?
I recall the C7A-Revised being a fantastic sounding preamplifier. If you have merely a C7A, perhaps investigating what exactly the "revised" referred to would be an excellent starting point. Perhaps some generous "revised" owner out there would be... 
What is "rich mans" DL-103?
Having owned one, I feel the Zu-103 rather fundamentally changes the sound of the cartridge - yes it cleans up the sound of the 103, but also removes some fundamental aspects of its soul. Personally, I didn't care for it all that much, but many wo... 
Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake?
One thing the 103 family isn't is bright; suspend judgment until 40-50 hours or so have passed and the cart settles in - personally, I've always found anything in excess of 2.55g (or so) to be detrimental as it stomps on the cart's suspension lead... 
thin, very flexible, warm sounding interconnect...
Dennis Boyle's Chimera Labs Advantage II ICs are pretty nice... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Glory,I'm still holding Art's modded AES PH-1 phono stage hostage in the closet of my listening room; it's a little honey! I know he'll eventually come around for it...he he.-Richard 
Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far
Unsound,I think you might be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Jesse Sykes (I can only speak to the vinyl issue however).-Richard 
DC motors and outboard power supplies...
I'd have to guess that you have a thermally related issue - power on, current draw, and component 'X' drifts out of spec. Tracking this proverbial needle in a haystack can be very frustrating without a working knowledge of electronics. That said, ... 
Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far
Dgarretson,As a big M. Ward fan, I'm a bit underwhelmed by Hold Time. I like the tunes, but the recording is not in the same class as previous efforts, especially "Transistor Radio" or "Transfiguration of Vincent". Maybe it will grow on me.I've be...
