| Teres installation questions How long have you waited for the spindle to sink? I remember waiting about 24 hours, impatiently! | |
| ipod and dac? On some of the headphone sites, where they spend alot of time talking about portable audio, people seem to say that the ipod is not the top of the group in sonics. One that is purportedly better is the Rio Kharma, which holds 20 mb and can be had ... | |
| subwoofers: the bigger the better? I agree. I listened to the top-of-the-line TBI commercial offering, an 8" subwoofer that combines bass reflex and transmission line concepts. It was fast and tonally balanced, and integrated well with the main speakers. I think it is the best sub ... | |
| Proper Use of Record Research Lab Cleaners Thanks Brian. That clarifies it. I do find the text a bit confusing, in that (to me) it implies that the record is already wet when you first apply SVW.Can you recommend a soft brush to use as the applicator? Also, would you recommend creating a s... | |
| Proper Use of Record Research Lab Cleaners Hmmm - the directions say apply RRL fluids to "fully wet record". I'm still not clear how to achieve that. What about getting triple de-ionized water somewhere and using that first? | |
| Harbeth/Musical Fidelity: Good Match? I know that the Harbeths like a good amount of solid state power, atleast 100 wpc, and even more like 150 wpc. The Musical Fidelities fit in that range. There is a web forum for Harbeth users on www.smartgroups.com. See http://www.smartgroups.com/... | |
| opinion on electronics for Vandy 2Ce Sig One really nice combination I've heard is the Vandy's with the BEL (Brown Electronics Labs) 1001 mkII and an Audible Illlusions Modulus II preamp. You don't see the BEL's come up that often, and if one did, I might be competing for it! It's a Clas... | |
| Best Portable Sound I've been hearing alot about the Rio Karma played, which is 20 gb, does not insert gaps between tracks, has a very fast access to tracks, and can be obtained for $264. It has a digital equalizer that you can customize or not use at all, and is sup... | |
| pre-amp that's balanced with remote volume control I don't know the value of these two preamps, but most all the BAT preamps have very comprehensive remotes, and the new Aesthetix Janus also has a remote (but is on the order of $6k). | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k I chose the Stratos over the HCA-2 on my system, and love the Stratos alot. I heard the Aragon on some totems, and it also sounded very good. I'm now running the Stratos dual mono with a N.E.W 12AU7 preamp using Mullard tubes, and it sounds really... | |
| Recapping amps I know there are several types of capacitors, in terms of the materials used to make them. Are some types more stable than others? Are some types not a problem at all, regarding time, disuse, heat, etc (i.e. they are very stable over many decades)... | |
| German Re-issue: Joni Mitchell "Blue" LP Eddie - what is a WLP? | |
| Jolida JD302B - Speaker Choice Matthew, I've had that combination, and I have to admit that I didn't really like the Tituses! I thought that their high end was too harsh, even with the Jolida, which tends to be pretty laid back (atleast with EL-34's). I don't know what to recom... | |
| Any bluegrass fans? For some great harmonies, and maybe more modern subject matter, check out Hot Rize. They are excellent!!! My favorite of their CD's is "Untold Stories". | |
| CES is almost upon us. Ed, the Harbeth's are great! I've got them here in my office system, powered by an Odyssee Stratos Dual Mono, a N.E.W. tube preamp, the Jolida CDP and a TT. Alot of fun.I would be happy to compile a cell phone list and circulate it before the show... |
