| Cambridge Audio D500SE vs Arcam CD72 In these days of cheap and good DACs, who wants to spend a lot of money on a CDP?I have a Cambridge D300SE hooked to a Soundstream DAC-1. The CDP is plugged to the digital outlet of my Tice A/V Solo with an Absolute Power Cord and the DAC's to a P... | |
| A'gon transactions: When is it legit to quit? TK4: that guy is a jerk. When one commits to a purchase one is committed--that's it. I doubt someone will go for such a business practice. | |
| High-end tweeks for a vintage Technics Tuntable If the 1600 does have VTA with a ring like the 1200, then the tonearm fluid damper will probably fit (call Kevin). I used to have a 1700 and it did not have VTA adjustment--I thought they were the same except for one being semi-auto and the other ... | |
| High-end tweeks for a vintage Technics Tuntable Listen to the Psychic...but first you've got to read the post: "in my home office system." Having an automatic TT is a great convienience--you're *supposed* to be working and might be on the phone with a customer or vendor when the album is over..... | |
| Which works/sounds best, PS audio 300 or PwrCo 400 My latest noise control tool is a used ONEAC 3000W isolation transformer (220V in/ 110V out). It has a patented "virtual ground" feature, so it's like having a 220V dedicated line with a step down and isolation transformer plus its own dedicated g... | |
| Which works/sounds best, PS audio 300 or PwrCo 400 Richard Gray has an audition program through their dealer network. They are 'supposed' to let you borrow one. However, my local Barrett's store wanted me to 'buy' one 30 day risk free. I bet if I e-mail Richard Gray that would be squared away in n... | |
| Receiver Help for Neophite The Psychic is also one of the Kings of Bargains...I have successfully blended CAT5 and Carol silver plated copper speaker cables--it's a 30 ft run and it sounds fine for less than $60. They are both relatively inexpensive. I use Radio Shack "audi... | |
| My first and last DIY project "A do-it-yourself speaker project by Thorsten Loesch."Need I say more? | |
| Receiver Help for Neophite Listen to the Psychic...If you go for the Outlaw you will have money left to invest in a line conditioner ( for your DVD player, VCR and TV ), a few Highwire Wirewraps and decent interconnects, speaker cable and audio grade power cords. Don't skim... | |
| Contact Cleaner Interesting...Like someone from these forums taught me, "Never pass up an audition."! | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 1. Sony 27SF13....5 Stars....$600 That's my Sony! Plain Vanilla 27" WEGA--and a Swans M1 and RPG Pro Foam panel to either side...you can get it for much less and interest free for a year. | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? My current 2 channel set up does not compromise stereo imaging. I have a near field rig with a 27" Sony WEGA on which I attach a RPG Pro Foam panel when listening to music. It really works.Avideo's got a point regarding all those formats...crazy, ... | |
| analog gurus, please help, cartridge too light? Technics has a flat weight specifically designed for headshell mounting... | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 I used to work at a high end video store--my advice is to find a salesman you can trust and choose TV size considering the distance you will be from the set. The general rule of thumb is 4 times diagonal picture, so (4 x 27" = 108"); 108"/12 = 9 f... | |
| Nobody doing thier own experimenting or research? Why do you think Rega's and Music Hall's are so popular in this site? At the same time, my threads on modding the Technics 1200 got trashed..I wouldn't trade a Rega or Music Hall for my modded 1200. I had to buy a new tonearm assembly cause I mess... |
