| LP flattening service? Thank you Dave,I posted a response but it never went through.I will go through my collection and get a few together for flattening. | |
| Is my CSNY De Ja Vu a bad pressing, or lost cause? For that album you need to see 1841 Broadway New York NY printed on the very bottom of the label in a circle for the original pressings.I have several pressing of Deja vu.That is the first pressing which sounds the best from the originals.I alwa... | |
| Rega Planar 3 upgrades help. I have run a Planar 3 for 15 years.My best upgrade was the Pete Rigglo VTA adjustment which houses the arm in bronze.The ability to adjust the VTA to match an LP is by far better than all the other upgrades I installed but you have to drill out th... | |
| Best Drum Solos The Sheffield Lab Drum record.Entire LP nothing but drumming about the best Drum sound I heard.I also like Terry Bozzio on Zappa's the Black Page. | |
| KLH Model 6 Tweeter. I just got a nice pair of KLH17's sold with one bad tweeter.I pulled it out,didn't want to get involved,put it back in and it worked.Must have been a bad wire connection.I was going to replace both with a pair from parts express.I saw no original... | |
| New Member Needs Help Yes I agree with djohnson to start with a total contact cleaning.I use Deoxit red first and then follow up a second time with Deoxit Gold.I retreat with Gold every few months my speaker,CD and TT contacts.It's Amazing just how much better my syst... | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? Norman,I found a nice pair of KLH 17's,just picked them up sunday for 50 bucks.I put them upstairs on the econo rack I call it.My main system is downstairs.I have them hooked up to the Harman Kardon after taking the B+W's down.They sound good.I re... | |
| How do you spot an overplayed used lp without obvious scratches etc I've been stung too like that.LP looks great at a show.I don't know how to spot a bad one unless play graded.Just last week I was giving my friend some extra Streisand LP's and had what appeared a mint copy of her Broadway LP,which is a good sound... | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? Norman,my Harmon Kardon is HK580i 45 watts per channel early 80's vintage.I barely remember searching for info on it when I bought it but found one for sale and the owner of the store said it was the best bargain in audio for his asking price of I... | |
| Golden Ear Triton One Speakers $$$ I heard a set of them,I believe the $2000. models and was very not impressed what so ever with them at all.After hearing them they must be the most over rated piece of equipment to date.To be fair though I didn't have time to position them as th... | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? I only run a P+E turntable in my main system as 2nd table next to my Rega but it sounds remarkably well for over 40 years old with my Signet AM50 I bought over 20 years ago.This post makes me want to replace and get a set of KLH 17's I had bough... | |
| Yamaha R-S700 2 Channel Stereo Receiver My brother just bought the same Yamaha as yours I think,he loves it.It's his 3rd or 4th.I bought a new Yamaha 3090 in 1997 when I was heavily into home theater.I still use it now in my secondary system. | |
| Getting phantom image perfectly centered I forgot to mention also to check with a level the tops of the speakers so that they are perfectly level with each other.That bubble is dead on exact same on both my speakers. | |
| Getting phantom image perfectly centered Have you measured tweeter height on both speakers from the floor?I found they need to be exactly the same height,not a half inch off but dead even.My brother was having problems till I went over and found his tweeters were a half inch off,that cle... | |
| wow...playing vinyl again on major market radio st I remember in the 60's a record would keep skipping and replaying the same few second piece over and over again on the radio untill the DJ realized it and got back to his seat and lift the tone arm off.This happened often on rock and classical sta... |
