| azur 540c new or a different used cdp for 350? You are starting to build a new system, you've got to start somewhere, so a new cdp seems as good a place as any to start. You are right about your current receiver limiting your appreciation of a new cd players potential. However, if you had a ne... | |
| Grado Sonata pops out of grooves during crescendos Yup, I definitely have had intimate familiarity with the "wobble." Several lps with slight warps on the perimeter excite the cartridge suspension and the wobble dance starts. I'll look closely while playing the suspect record & see if there's ... | |
| Grado Sonata pops out of grooves during crescendos Doug, the reason VPI suggests that owners add an additional .1 gram to the cartridge manufacturers specified tracking force is because VPI arms do not incorporate any anti-skating mechanism. If I understand their design philosophy, they feel that ... | |
| Source & specs for LP poly outer bags For all things to help you archive & protect your collection of anything: www.lightimpressions.com .I believe their bags are 3mil. | |
| Cartridge for Gyro SE/ Rega RB300 &Slee Gold Era V I'm not sure what type of music you listen to, but if you favor anything other than the classical spectrum, do a Google search for the Reson Reca. It's not available as far as I know from any US source, but is available readily from UK dealers. Or... | |
| Turntable Choices I chose the VPI because of better resale, product support, upgrade paths available, and the fact that is made in the USA. | |
| Advice Please : DIY acoustic panels Ok, go to Jon Risch's website: www.geocities.com/jonrisch/index2.htm . There you will find every thing you need to get you started. I too have Maggie 1.6's and found the addition of these diy panels to be a very significant upgrade to my system. O... | |
| Need help with problem burning cd's with Mac G4 Again, thanks to all. Yes I'm running Panther 10.3.3. This morning, I tried burning a cd at 2x speed, rather than the preset default which is several times faster. The same playlist which had numerous audible dropouts now sounds error free. While ... | |
| Need help with problem burning cd's with Mac G4 Thanks for the suggestions. I have been using Memorex cd-r's to record music on a different G4 Os9.2 system with Toast flawlessly, so I was surprised to discover such error ridden burns with Itunes. I find Toast faster & easier to work with an... | |
| Getting more from my DAC I think I'd start by looking at the cd drive/transport. I had been using a Cambridge cd4se player as a transport for an Sonic Frontiers/Assemblage 2.7 Platinum dac. When, on the advice of a dealer, I tried the new Cambridge Azur 640c as a transpor... | |
| My Belles 150 is buzzing when I turn it on.. I owned a Belles 150a Hot Rod for a couple years and it hummed anytime my power supply was polluted by line noise from appliances, etc. This amp seems inordinately excited by such noise! Try to see if you can trace any correlation to lights, motor... | |
| Stereo system Too Bright With all due respect to those suggesting solutions which involve cables, wires, etc., replacing the cd player & preamp first would be much more likely to yield "big bang for buck" improvements. The cd player is quite old now and you can do muc... | |
| Stereo system Too Bright Chris, having auditioned the Marantz cd-63 in my system some time ago, I remember it sounded rather bright and grating. I ended up buying a Cambridge player and found it much smoother and musical. Not familiar with your speakers, but I've owned Ad... | |
| What is the correct cabinet height for a 50" TV? My own personal preference is to have the center of the screen at about the same height of my eyes when seated for viewing. So, seating height is a factor, as is your posture when viewing. This is at a seating distance of 10 feet. If you are farth... | |
| What would be considered Tops in Digital Amps? I think "the best" is a question too system dependent to answer without equivocation. You'll find proponents of Bel Canto & PS Audio, each singing their praises. The PS has been a revalation in my system, very good synergy with my Magneplanars... |
