| Pay Pal Protection? I purchased some records from an Audiogon member several years ago, using PayPal, but never received them. I thought PayPal would protect me, but their response was "there are no funds in the sellers PayPal account so we are so sorry ...." If it's... | |
| I need a current exclusive disc promotional code. Do you mean Elusive Disc? Just do a Google search for Elusive Disc discount code or just code and if there is one you will find it. Or, just wait a few weeks, they have regular 10% off sales. Don't expect much more than that though, not gonna happen. | |
| Is there a minimum length for power cords? The unnamed manufacturer is LAT International. Found it with a quick search on part of the quote. | |
| Father's Day For An Audiophile The only audio related item I got gifted was music. I've got an LP or two (pre-CD era) and a few CDs from my direct family, but they were all at my recommendation. I've bought my wife several CDs over the years, but has she ever bought me one, noo... | |
| Audio Research D70 mark1 + schematic I wasn't inferring Audio Research service isn't good, just that I doubt they would "give" you a schematic. They may be more than willing to sell you one, if they have it. I assumed Stewen1 was looking for a quick and easy freebie, so that's why I ... | |
| Audio Research D70 mark1 + schematic Take a look at the Audio Research Corp. Database (ARCDB) at http://www.arcdb.ws Look under Amplifiers, then D-70. At the bottom of the D-70 page are a couple of schematics. Can't be sure which model, Mk I or Mk II, but the date is 1982/1983. They ... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream They are supposed to ship this month, PS Audio is saying in the "third week", so none have shipped to regular customers. I think some dealers have one for demo, but they are probably under restrictions on selling them right now. Strangely one is f... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream You're a bit premature, no units have been shipped to us ordinary folks. Go to the PS Audio site and check out their forum, there is one Beta tester with a unit, Gordon is his username, and several people who have heard the unit in controlled circ... | |
| Have Good DAC, Will This Work A Transport? Highly doubt you will find a better transport than the Sony for less than $1000. I hope you realize the digital out from the Sony will not pass the SACD signal, only the CD layer if it is a hybrid disc. | |
| Lower volume with some XLR's? Not sure how improper termination or different connector would make that much difference, at least with not sounding awful as well as quieter. No idea what equipment you are using, but some preamps have different input sensitivities for different ... | |
| First Foray into Internet Radio USB should work good, just keep the length as short as you can and no more than 5m. If you don't have a USB cable to try get a Belkin Gold in the appropriate length. It's a good low priced starter. Your call if you want to spend more (probably a l... | |
| Building an audio room - 12x22 - electrical plan? Running 220/240 single phase into a dwelling is not an issue, but there are probably restrictions on the type of room, e.g. a bedroom, you can run it to. This should be checked with the local building inspector. I concur with S7horton about the av... | |
| VPI Ceramic Platter Stringreen- is the platter officially available? I just looked at the website and there was no mention of it. I would have to assume it is retailing for more than $800, since that is what the standard Classic platter retails for. Do you know if th... | |
| Do I need WX2 crossover for Vandersteen Subs? YES! The filters roll off the response to the amp and the subs are set to compensate for that roll off. If you don't use a filter you will overdrive the subs and damage them. I would recommend getting a fixed crossover rather than using the WX-2, ... | |
| ARC preamp Voltage convertion from 110v to 220V? Not to be a stick in the mud, but Audio Research states on their web site "Audio Research does not convert products for use with a different A.C. line voltage." Best bet would be to get a step up transformer. |
