| Results of Installing "Porter Ports" in system... I had not posted before about my experience with the Porter ports. I really liked the difference they made for me and it was a rewarding experience. What I thought was so funny was that, I have this light for cleaning records and seeing what I am ... | |
| Groove Glide usage question....why 2 pads? I clean a lot of records and end up going thru both pads. When it has been used too much it is not as effective. After I clean the record, I use a lint roller to remove what it has picked up, and change adhesive in the roller frequently. They chan... | |
| Amp heat sinks are ringing I don't know if I'm in the ballpark on this one, but I had a resonance problem with the motor on my hot-water tank system. I found these magnets at a surplus store about the size of a domino that I strategically placed on the offending ringing are... | |
| "Parts upgrade" on crossovers -Any experiences? I actually have heard of and have used a similar approach to speaker basket ringing that Sean was telling about with the "Liquid Nails". Basically the only difference is to use"non-hardening" childrens modeling clay. In 10 years time it still has ... | |
| Review: Forte Model 4a Amplifier Thanks for the review. I happen to have a Forte'6, which I have heard is identical to the 4, but runs class A/B, with the voltage rails "turned up". It was my first good amp and it is now running my 4-12" subs. I have on occasion tried a few other... | |
| Drawbacks from selling overseas ? I recently shipped a tubed product to France. There was a "shipping size" regulation (with USPS) that severely limited the amount of protection I could provide for this item. Fedx did not do ground to France. I'm assuming that I could have sent UP... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Well, I see a lot of different tweaks here, and will try some new ones. I think my favorite substantial one was to add these lead-shot filled "pillows" to the top of my speakers and most components. My system is in the baement on a concrete floor,... | |
| What do you think about this cable company? One of the oldest scams, drawn out to look like it's a "change of policy". This one is usually done with books, videos, septic tank additives, etc. I would never look back. | |
| Cleaning Cary chrome amps... what works? I have checked on this, and second the Mother's recommendation, using a soft cloth such as a baby's cotton diaper. | |
| How does the Phase Linear 400 compare? Although in my opinion, it can not compete with current low-budget amps, I have heard quite a few and tried to help friends with different problems with this one. Again, the important thing is, if you like it, it does not matter at all what anyone... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Well, my experience with MIT goes back over 10 years ago andit was only with one interconnect. I'm sure MIT makes some fine products. I got a pair of interconnects thru Audio Advisor, and they sent the MIT's, even though I had ordered another bran... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? When I lived with a roomate about 20 years ago, he had a GAS Son of Amp, and some speakers that someone made. Well,they just didn't have the midrange that my Fried speaker's had so I hooked them up too. Well, back then the revolutionary "Polk spea... | |
| What to do when buyer claims sellers item broken? This indeed is a sensitive issue. Something similar happened to me, where I shipped off a small amp. I believe I got a phone call from the gentleman claiming the unit did not work. Well, the unit was working when it left, and I reminded him the me... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Almost 25 years ago I got this speaker kit by a company called "Fried". Designed by a gentleman named Bud Fried.Well, I have listened to a lot of other speakers over the course, and these do everything right. The voicing and midrange is excellent.... | |
| Caught in a squeeze Just thought I would add my 2 cents...I'm not sure where you're located, but check your local paper under Electronics/home entertainment. If you find something interesting you can go check it out. Often this stuff doesn't sell real well, and you c... |
