| Ukulele, anyone? Good thread - I'm suprised nobody has mentioned Cliff Edwards, aka Ukelele Ike who was rather popular in the 20's and 30's; I have a few CD comps of his work and they are quite good if you care for early jazz/ragtime/vaudeville/saloon-type music, ... | |
| What Silenced the Ground Loop? You might try using a cheater plug to "float" the ground at the AC plug(s) of both components; I'd also try leaving everything as is (with the RCAs connected per usual) and connect a wire between both units to effect a chassis ground. There is NO ... | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? Agreed. In the pantheon of legendary rock LPs, this has to be one of the most poorly recorded of all time. However, why does "10th Avenue Freeze-out" sound so good compared to the rest of the album which is all murk and muffle. I'd be curious to h... | |
| Armboard recommendation for Linn/Cetech subchassis When I owned my Cetech-ed Linn LP12, I drilled straight through a "standard" Linn armboard, and left the bolt heads exposed on top - quite handsome actually, as they were rounded stainless-steel Allens. This also provides for a much more rigid mou... | |
| New TT ideas please Galibier. Of course, I'm gleefully biased.-Richard | |
| Zeta tonearm serial number You might want to post this on the Pink Fish Media site. Since it's a UK site, several folks over there use the Zeta, and might be able to steer you toward the necessary resources to accurately date your arm. Good listening,-Richard | |
| Top turntables? Cytocycle,I tend to think it is all in the ear of the beholder, meaning absolutely relative anyway, but I'll make a brief response to your query. Indeed I have had considerably more expensive cartridges on my Galibier (in the $1-2K range), mated t... | |
| Top turntables? Dgad,I'll disagree - I think $300 will get you a great cartridge IF it's mounted on a table/arm up to the task. I'd spend the most on a table, then the arm, and place the cart after the horse...say 55-65% table, 10% on a cart and the rest on the a... | |
| Why does New York radio station sond so good? Klystron tubes are used primarily in television broadcasting, microwave transmission and radar. The modulation level from a Klystron would be too high for radio broadcasting.I'd guess the station in question has a good, clean processing chain coup... | |
| Refurbished Projector Lamps--Experiences??? While I'm not completely certain of the method of remanufacturing, my thinking is that "recycled" lamps reuse the non-expendable portions of the lamp assembley (the metal hosuing, the wiring harness and the reflective outer glass shell), replacing... | |
| Refurbished Projector Lamps--Experiences??? As a technician at a sizeable northeastern engineering university, I can say our experiences have been less than stellar with "recycled" lamps. I'd have to guess it's kind of like "recycled" ink jet printer cartridges: you get what you pay for. -R. | |
| Should I Brush My Cartridge After Each Use? Hi folks,So the Magic "Green" Linn paper has always bothered me (I know it works - I don't dispute that in the slightest; I've used it for years in an emergency capacity, and have seen the before and after results under a scope). How can the relat... | |
| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar Tom,I'd guess most Galibier users site the table on a floor stand, especially if you have the added benefit of sitting on a concrete floor. From there, I'd say the field is open - Thom favors building a sandbox with an aluminum top plate that beds... | |
| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar Tom,I think you'll be out of the optimum weight range of the Neuance shelf if you're considering placing the Gavia on it (or the Target wall mount shelf for that matter). IIRC, the weight limit for the Neuance shelf is around 35-40 lbs - the Gavia... | |
| Rega p-5 power supply ubgrade I might add that if you have an older Rega Planar 2/3 (and I believe the 25), the Heed Orbit power supply is quite a nice upgrade as well - somewhat rare on the used market, but quite affordable new. |
