| Vinyl LPs To CD I understand that I can transfer vinyl to CDR's using either a professional CD writer. I assume that this can be done either on 24/96 or 16/44. My questions are:1) can one transfer a whole LP onto a CD at 24/96? I assume not, based on inference fr... | |
| What about South America and Antarctica? Barfff! You must be joking. | |
| What are your thoughts on the Dragon tape deck? I just spoke with a certified Nak repairman, who told me that the mechanisms on the RX, BX, CR, MR, and DR series are inferior relative to other Nak series. He said that the best Nak tape mechanisms last for decades (still yet to have an endpoint)... | |
| What are your thoughts on the Dragon tape deck? Speaking of investing and Nak decks, let's go back a few years... I've got a 582, which was top of the line in 1980, that I've been nursing along all these years. It has 3 heads, adjustable azimuth, etc. Sent back to Nak 3x, and the third they did... | |
| What is a "transmission line" speaker? The labyrinth increases the distance that the backward firing woofer soundwaves must travel to exit the port of the speaker. So it's like a bass reflex speaker with a very long (in distance traveled) port. | |
| Looking for Silent Fan Cooling f my ARC Tube AMP I don't get it. ARC's VT100 mk2 has a fan mounted inside the chassis. It's on the bottom of the amp, and I haven't checked to see if it is blowing up or down. However, what IS that fan doing besides bringing new air into the chassis for cooling? I... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? How important is control of the rollof slope of the subwoofer? I had a REL (Q150e) that allowed me to control both the Xover frequency and the rolloff slope (6, 12 db, etc). That seems like a great advantage - is it really??? | |
| Good & Inexpensive Amplifier Stand for ARC VT100 Yeah Timo, that Sanus stand is nice for the price. Audio Advisor was my answer on this one. I got the Standesign Base 2000 for $99, which is exactly the right shelf size, is made of one-piece welded steel, and can hold 150 lbs. Thanks everyone for... | |
| Budget Balanced Interconnects The InnerSound XLR cables use professional studio cables, and you can't beat the price! | |
| Best Way to Use Turntable with System Cabinet TWL - that is a cool idea that I will look into. I'm thinking of seeking out a local cabinet builder to make a custom cabinet. The rigid lightweight stand would need to have a relatively simple leg design. Anyone have any to recommend? Bob - I lik... | |
| Need Advice: Which Headphone Amp? I've been doing a little research too, and the Cordas HA-1 amp by Meier audio seems to be highly recommended on the headphone pages: headwize.com and headfi.com. It comes with variable crossfeed and is solid state. Good luck. | |
| Budget Balanced Interconnects Pardon all, but my search abilities were not up to snuff. It really helps when you choose to search on "match all words" rather than "match exactly". Anyhow, I found the answer I'm looking for at [this thread ]. I'm going to try out the Innersound... | |
| Best Way to Use Turntable with System Cabinet So TWL, you are saying that optimally a suspended turntable should have its own stand. What about wall mounting of a shelf. In the eventuality that two stands are one too many for the system in the family living room, what is the best compromise (... | |
| Need Preamp Advice ARC VT100 mk2 Thanks John,Given that I don't have any true balanced sources, wouldn't the preamp need to apply a transformer to the signal somewhere? Is it the same problem all over again? Is it only worth going to a balanced preamp if you have balanced sources... | |
| Electrocompaniet ECI-3 vs Classe CAP-101 I've got a CAP-101 and I find it to be a really good amp. Good resolution, good bass. Not quite as engaging in soundstage as some higher priced seperate amps I've used: e.g. Pass Aleph 3 or a modified Jolida I own, but a pleasure to listen to and ... |
