| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? For $600 I would second a used "power conditioner" like the Runnings Springs Haley. The Haley has six outlets, does not limit currents, and provides great black backgrounds. | |
| Upgrade Audio Aero Prima with mods? Portugal11, sorry for the confusion...looks like in my previou posts the quotes were missing. I have tried to quote Dawgcatching from his last post: It should be here in a few days. If it is working well in my system, then I will give Steve a call... | |
| What does a vinyl record groove look like? Here is a thought: The difference between the two grooves could be just the difference in the recorded signal in these grooves. The microphonia look like close to only a sine signal while Mark's picture could be featuring a pink noise or dense cla... | |
| Buzz/hum from amps, NOT from speakers Most likely you have a strong 120 Hz noise riding on your lines. One hint: I had a similar problem on one of my amps: The problem was caused by a dimmer that caused the transformers to buzz at 120 Hz. A good way to diagnose the offender: Shut off ... | |
| What does a vinyl record groove look like? Good comments about the making of vinyl records. A small movie I found helpful that explaings the cutting and pressing process can be found here:How Vinyl Records Are Made PART 1 OF 2Enjoy! | |
| What does a vinyl record groove look like? Great thread and nice responses!A quick clarification of the stylus motion in a grove: The left/right signal is encoded in +-45 angle plane. Vertical or horizontal motion are additions/subtractions of L and R signal. A good picture of cutting moti... | |

| Upgrade Audio Aero Prima with mods? It should be here in a few days. If it is working well in my system, then I will give Steve a call and see what he says, or check out the Prima DAC. Why not wait, live with it for a few month. You might like it so much that no upgrade is necessary... | |
| Upgrade Audio Aero Prima with mods? Which version of the Prima is it since there have been many many revisions (MK I, early MK II with mirror finish, latest MKII with XLR outputs, MKIII with new Sony transport.I own the Prima MKII CDP (XLR version) and don't see the point of modding... | |
| set integrated amp...$1000 or less..n/u Also, one more comment: Listening to a friends Altecs, the Altecs might require much more substantial amps (with larger power supplys and output transformers) that most 1K amps will not have. The Fi and above mentioned are excellent, but might not... | |
| set integrated amp...$1000 or less..n/u Larry, you might want to post your general question on the SET asylum. As for Fi: Don has no website, but his email is: dgfi@earthlink.net. He will mail you some information. Be patient he is very busy since his amps are hand built from scratch: S... | |
| set integrated amp...$1000 or less..n/u Fi X integrated - you can't go wrong with Don Garber's amps. It will take about 3 months to be finished but is well worth the wait (I think prices went up a little to about $1150). Used they rarely come up and sell for around $700-1000On a pair of... | |
| DAC under $1K As far as sound, dynamic bass, transparent mids & smooth highs + analog sound, leaning towards the mellow side, definitely nothing bright. The Lavry probably has the most natural smooth highs, I have heard from digital solid state. It is overa... | |
| DAC under $1K What sonics are you looking for? Different DACs gow quite in different direcion. (Take a look at the reference DAC thread for example) I find myself being very selective about sources in general.Here is a list of DACs I considered recently for abo... |
