| Removing odor from LP jackets, liners, etc I've read of this method, but not tried it myself. Get yourself a big plastic tub with a lid and pour a layer of either deodorizing cat litter, baking soda, or a mixture of both on the bottom. Now devise some sort of suspension rack above the deod... | |
| Recommendations for classical MFSL recordings I should have been clearer. I was referring to purchasing older aluminum cd's, not vinyl. The brain's too fuzzy at 5:30 in the morning. Thanks for the suggestions so far. | |
| Pre Amp Help You're asking a question that has objective and subjective answers. Objectively, there's no doubt that separates will offer better performance. However, I think you're going to have to step higher up the audio chain than Adcom and B&K to have ... | |
| Best reasonable Phono preamp for Marantz TT15SI Ken, your three phono preamp choices are all over the place as far as gain and sound. The Bellari is moving magnet only and kinda warm with slightly loose bass. The PS Audio is a crisper, more modern and articulate sounding piece that has moving c... | |
| Has Anyone Tried RAM'S Rega Saturn Mod? Ozzy, you might be thinking of the "issues" that occurred when RAM east (Doug Jesse) and RAM west (Kyle Takenaga) parted ways. There are numerous threads over at Audioasylum about this and the fallout. I don't want to fan the flames about somethin... | |
| Has Anyone Tried RAM'S Rega Saturn Mod? GTLO, believe me, I don't have a grim view of modifiers products. I do have realistic one IMO. The comments about low resale value of modded equipment come from looking a Audiogon ads every day for years. If you buy a product used and have it modd... | |
| What is the best SS used amp for $1k or less? Cbman, you've got some really esoteric speakers. Those were built in the early to mid eighties as I recall. What a efficiency are those monsters? Do you know how benign the impedance curve is? Do they still have their original woofer surrounds?I'm... | |
| Has Anyone Tried RAM'S Rega Saturn Mod? Tom doesn't say why he'd avoid the RAM mods, but there are good reasons to think hard about doing it. I've had two RAM modded products, first and second generation modded PS Audio HCA-2 amps. Kyle is decent, ethical guy who has a real talent for e... | |
| What is the best SS used amp for $1k or less? Unsound is correct. without knowledge of your speakers, advice you seek is suspect. For instance, I've had a Belles 150 Hot Rod and it was mediocre at best when paired with Maggie 1.6qrs. I'm sure it warranted the good reviews it got with other sp... | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD Amen Jorge, you are so right. The discs look immaculate, but they are such big a PITA to use. I'm just trimming off the flap of the outer sleeve and removing the goo with alcohol. BTW, I'd never bought their first two discs as they were never revi... | |
| Kimber Kable 8TC vs Audio Art SC-5 dilema ? I don't think there's any reason to change your mind. There are any number of reasonably priced cables that will serve your system well. At the current level of resolution your components provide, it's just not worth obsessing over cables. Not try... | |
| My soundstage is terrible. i need help bad. For starters, sounds like you've got large expanses of reflecting surfaces which are creating problems. I would suggest you are likely to need some acoustic treatment to solve your problems. You can contact GIK Acoustics (see their website or foru... | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD Of the new SACD's, I'd suggest starting with their live '94 album, "Toward the Within." It has many of their best songs from their first six albums plus new tracks (at the time.) It's a nice long collection of very well recorded material. It might... | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD Yeah, you're getting a fancy package and a number for $90.00. You'll not likely lose money on it if you buy it and ever resell it though. DCD fans are often some of the most rabid collectors of rare and arcane issues you'll ever meet. If you do a ... | |
| Grado Cartridge questions..... I think Stringreen is giving good advice. The Grado/Vandersteen combo has the potential to be a bit too polite and rolled off. Another cartridge I happen to like would be a Goldring 1042, or even better, a Reson Reca. TNT-Audio.com has reviews of ... |
