| What's wrong with my VPI motor? One other thing to note. Make sure that there isn't extra talc stuck in the motor spindle groove. My belt was riding up and down the plattyer, like there was a turn or a kink in it. I found this extra talc, picked it out with a toothpick, cleaned ... | |
| How does good analog differ from good digital Not a lot. Getting an old Thorens turntable and a decent $300 MC cartridge would probably get you there. You would need a phono stage too, and I highly recommend a decent record cleaning product like Disk Doctor brushes & fluid. Figure $500 or... | |
| Where do I go from Eva Cassidy? Have you heard Eva Cassidy's live album? If you like that then I recommend checking out Dee Dee Bridgewater's live album "Live at Yoshi's". The studio releases sound dull by comparison - nothing like a live recording to show how these artist's ent... | |
| How important is a flat response? Most people won't have a clue how flat or at what frequencies they have peaks & nulls, even with some kind of oscilloscope or Rives-like device.Just mode the mike up, down and sideways by 6 inches and you will see significant changes in the re... | |
| Can anyone compare the Shure v15VxMR and Denon103 C123666 - I have a DV20XH and am interested in the differences between it and the DL103R. can you please elaborate?Thanks,Bob | |
| Best of Home Entertainment 2004 NY ? Here's a link to my pics of the show. MBL RoomThe MBL's are there and looked very pretty in a shiny black and gold and huge and expensive kind of way. Yeah, their sound always impresses me every time I've heard them. Now I need to find a friend wh... | |
| Are Martin Logans considered polite? Not polite at all. Very analytical and precise. Even if others think the top end is rolled off a "polite" speaker will sound warm and inviting, not razor sharp and unforgiving like the ML's. ML's can sometimes make vinyl sound like digital - that ... | |
| What kind of music did you/will you get married to I wrote my own ballad/song and worked with the wedding band in the studio to learn it and get it right. Male and female singers in a duet with word representing each of our viewpoints and love for each other at the time. Came out beautiful at the ... | |
| Merlin Room at 2004 HE Show in NY Merlin's always seem to sound good at these shows. Not necessarily the best, but consistently good. That's your first indication that they will probably sound great in a home environment. Enjoy,Bob | |
| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 The SIlverline amp was so new on Thursday that it was still throwing off fumes - perhaps from the trannie paste or perhaps from flux - who knows. It sounded damn fine then but better on Sunday after breaking in.WHen we asked the name of the amp &a... | |
| Anyone visit the VAC display at the Home Th. Show I wasn't too impressed, but then again show conditions weren't ideal. They were sharing space back to back in a large room with a cloth blind set up between them.Enjoy,Bob | |
| Best of Home Entertainment 2004 NY ? JM Labs was impressive - big speakers in a big room with pronounced, defined bass. Don't try these babies in your average audiophile space.I also thought the VR5's were very good, contrary to opinions expressed elsewhere.The Wisdom/Halcro room is ... | |
| Cinepro system at HI FI 2004 The room was just too full of speakers and too small to do any justice to these speakers. But the girls outside the door on Thursday were well worth watching. Wine & cheese inside too.Enjoy,Bob | |
| Want to add more airy, liquid high for my system Try cleaning your contacts, meaning everything including power connections, if you haven't already done this. Then apply either Silclear or Walker's SST product. Lots of reviews of both, all being generally positive, especially in the area that yo... | |
| Best "small" sub for Joseph Audio Rm7 speakers The RAL Strata III is fairly small and very nice looking in a wood finish. Damn fine sounding and easy to integrate sub too.Enjoy,Bob |
