| Experiment, Experiment; What have been your most successful finds? modulate AC system. Wire preamp to fusebox and have big watts for shimmy shimmy shake. Me like for dance party with neighbour.. | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? gonna go braze some copper pipe over my distribution box right now.. | |
| How many turntables have you owned? for those interested US patent 1,663,884 to H.C. Harrison (Western Electric), granted Mar. 27, 1928 Moving coil mono cartridge Blumlein was granted a patent for a moving coil cutter in 1933 | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? when I forget about the system entirely | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? @big_greg the jvc QL-F6 is a real sleeper too, seen off some pretty high flyers. Would have to include my Townshend Rock MkIi snd Dual 701. All still very capable | |

| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? But if I can pick up a CD for less by an artist I really like.... I like the idea of owning music too.. | |
| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? most of all, use your own ears and decide for yourself. You can read all the reviews and theory in the universe, but in the end it‘s the sound that counts.. | |
| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? I have an older Sony ES and a Yamaha that have far better built drive assemblies. and if you go even further back, you have the “mechanism that doesn‘t wear out“, the grandaddy of them all, an engineering masterpiece that still eclipses anythin... |
