| Problems with a Vortexbox Power Supply Going Bad? Given what I've seen after a brief Google, it looks like the PSU is 12 VDC at 25 watts. Since the unit uses a switch mode power supply, any generic unit with the appropriate specifications should work without a problem - they're easily obtained fr... | |
| Best beer Ptm,Bell's is widely available here in upstate NY. Try their Two Hearted Ale - quite nice. | |
| Best beer "I like cheap beer, so I can drink more of it for the money. Pabst Blue Ribbon gets my vote."I can no longer tolerate insipid lagers, especially at 4.7%. That's a lot of trips to the toilet without much reward. | |
| Basis 2200 Bass Issue You should also try to mass load the Vibraplane such that the system is supporting around 225 lbs (including the turntable). The Vibraplane is most effective (and sounds the best) when loaded close to its theoretical load maximum. | |
| Brinkmann Bardo and Tri-Planar VII-U armrest issue You can remove the flat head grub screw that fixes the armrest in position, thereby freeing the the j-hook/clip arm rest assembly to swing up or down on its metal support rod. Be warned however that removing this grub screw will be difficult - eve... | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings 11-30-2009 was the date of my original contribution to this thread. Likewise, you're welcome for an unabashed statement of fact. | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings "I'll never again touch anything(remixes/remasters) that Kevin Gray, or Steve Hoffman, have had anything to do with"Seconded. I'll add most Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab LPs to that as well. The latest Dylan "Blood On The Tracks"? Nice job thoroughly ... | |
| NIN hesitation marks In the same vein, try out the latest Gary Numan release, Splinter: Songs From a Broken Mind. Yup, that Gary Numan. A worthy contender to the latest NIN in my opinion. | |
| Viagra for Your Ears? Tgrisham,www.groommate.comThese work extremely well (just a satisfied owner). | |
| Who Can I send my dynakit ST-70 to for a rebuild? It depends on what you're looking for from the amp. If you want to preserve its original circuitry and tone, I'd say Will Vincent does a nice restoration of the original with a few small upgrades; for a bit more modification of the circuit the Cur... | |
| Help with a Projector. Most of the time I see this, I carefully check the optical path for an unglued polarizer, integrator or diffusion assembly; they often come unglued with age and heat especially considering that particular unit is somewhere around 10 years old. The... | |
| My Music Hall CD 25 just died If it won't read the disc, I'd obviously suspect something in the optical/laser head assembly. At this point given its age, I wouldn't sink any crazy money into it - if you can have it evaluated cheaply, maybe clean the lens then I'd give it a whi... | |
| My Music Hall CD 25 just died "Just died". Can you be more specific? Dead, as in no power, no display, no drawer, nothing? If so, it's the power supply, and any competent technician should be able to repair the switch mode supply used in this type of device for $30 or so (time... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 While I don't think you could classify him as 'rock', I will nonetheless highly recommend Pokey LaFarge's new LP on 3rd Man records. If you enjoy Dan Hicks and Leon Redbone (and frankly, who doesn't), you find this a top notch performance and reco... | |
| Burn in Step up transformer with ipod. Get an inverse-RIAA device from Jim Hagerman. It does exactly what you're looking for, and it's a bargain. |
