| Rediscovering the Joy of Digital? Great replies! This is turning into a fun thread; keep 'em coming.Newbee you make some very good observations. I'm happy that I got out of that analog thread yesterday with my skin intact. Some of those guys are scary; they should learn not to tak... | |
| Rediscovering the Joy of Digital? Dougdeacon, now you've done it -- giving me yet another variable to think about and fret over... To suspend ... or not to suspend.In NJ I had a concrete floor because my listening room was in the basement. I did end up using a fixed suspension on ... | |
| Just a regular guy with questions It's no problem to run the 88 on the 4-ohm taps with 8-ohm speakers. I think you get a few less watts of power this way but also less distortion and a higher damping factor. It is the preferred way to go in many instances. Also, if you haven't alr... | |
| Dare I admit? Low end speaker confusion - help Well, it could be that the old speakers just work well in your room via some coincidence of acoustic synergy. I wonder if the magic would be lost if you took them into a different room or location?Then again, it just might be that the speakers hav... | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? The InnerSound ESL amp will drive one-ohm loads comfortably, sounds very good, and has plenty of power and punch... | |
| Problem with start up motor on Aries?? If you have the directions for the unit, I know there is a way (some way to program the display via the front panel) to increase the start-up voltage in cases such as yours...If not, perhaps someone else here will tell you exactly how to do it. My... | |
| What do audio shops need to do to survive ? Corona, you hit upon a good point -- I know of quite a few small audiophile companies that do not and will not budget adequate funds to market their products. As you say, the products may be great, but if no one knows about them they won't buy the... | |
| What do audio shops need to do to survive ? Another thing I thought of is that brick and mortar shops can take advantage of the Internet as well. They should try to set up and maintain a good interactive web presence and maybe employ a clerk who's sole responsibility is to maintain the webs... | |
| What do audio shops need to do to survive ? Normally, brick and mortar specialty stores survive by providing services that can't be matched on the Internet or by mail order suppliers. Their overhead is higher, so their prices need to be a bit higher for them to stay in business.What they no... | |
| New Guy asking for help Oh--I think Nrchy has best asvise; maybe next time I'll be better advice... :) | |
| New Guy asking for help Kubla, the answer to your query is, "yes, absolutely!" Other than that I advise you to look in the dictionary or a book on English grammar to learn how to properly use the words "advise," and "advice". How do you like my advice, so far? Is it all ... | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along Hi Ed,Yes, you just remove the ball and thread. I left the rubber o-rings on the post because I figured it might damp any tendency for the metal post to ring. I was surprised that removing the antiskate didn't seem to affect the tracking force or ... | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along TWL, what you said makes sense. Right now, I think not having the anti-skate hooked up is working for me. But I'll live with it for a while and see if I still feel the same way next month. I don't think it's as critical an issue as some make it ou... | |
| Which SS amps sound like a tube amp? Your Parasound amp has the power and control you need, so what about simply buying a decent tube preamp. It'll probably do what you want and cost less than a good 200 Wpc tube amp... | |
| Did you know that Audiogon... Yes Charles, you, and folks like you are the reason why a very high percentage of formerly audio-only salons are now forced to carry home theater equipment just to survive in the marketplace.I think there's a place for both, and I have a dedicated... |
