| Are you mass less dig, I wind the end of the stranded speaker cable pretty tight and tin it first. Then stick it into the "wire end" of the BFA banana plug and apply a bit of solder. I'm guessing my iron is medium heat, but not sure. I finish with red/black shrink ... | |
| Cheap $88 Sony SS-CS5 Speakers - Awesome So, the Sony speakers I purchased from Amazon on 12/14 have still not arrived and they are showing "possibly lost" in the tracking system. If they don't arrive soon, I've got a line of a couple of really nice used speakers on Craigslist. The Craig... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Spencer, are you having a Talking Heads day? | |
| Are you mass less I have no idea if cheaper interconnect ends will be "as good". However, I started using low-mass BFA style bananas after I bought and used a pair of Nordost speaker cables with their Z-Plug version of the BFA style low-mass banana plugs. I think t... | |
| Are you mass less @digsmithd - Are these RCA interconnect ends or speaker cable termination? Not familiar with them, other than KLE banana plugs. BTW, I use low mass BFA style banana plugs whenever possible. They are fantastic. However, I used much less expensive... | |
| upgrade rec from meridian 508.24 I owned a 508.24 years ago. Nice player. I've also owned lots of other similarly priced players. For the last 3 years I've been using a Rega Saturn-R and I've had no interest in replacing/upgrading it. It is a fantastic CD player. It is actually a... | |
| Unidentifiable popping sound @andbaron it's definitely coming from something electronic, it's not from or through the speakers. I would think that would make it easier to find as you may only need to have one component powered up to hear the sound. So, sometime when you ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bruce Springsteen - "High Hopes" Last of the Christmas/Birthday present LP haul. I know this is not one of Bruce's best sellers. However, it's a solid album and having Tom Morello as special guest didn't hurt. I saw the 2014 Springsteen High Hop... | |
| Do you use a preamp in your HT system to improve sound? @emergingsoul What components do you have in your system now? What is HT and what is 2-channel? I don't currently have an HT system. However, several times in the past I had combined HT/2-channel systems and they worked well. If configured corr... | |
| Unidentifiable popping sound Pretty easy to rule out the DAC. Turn it off, disconnect the interconnect cables at the pre-amp input end and listen to vinyl only for a few days, or until you hear the popping noise. If you hear the popping noise with the DAC turned off and disco... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @sbank and All, The Intervention Records 2xLP of Matthew Sweet - "Girlfriend" is available on eBay right now. I don't know the original MSRP, but they are selling for $56 plus shipping right now and they have multiple copies available. I do not ... | |
| Musings of a Budget Audiophile @mceljo - Happy New Year! Enjoy your tweaked out system. Your upgraded Maverick DAC looks like a fantastic bargain in a budget priced DAC. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pete Townshend - "The Iron Man" - The Musical by Pete Townshend | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Matthew Sweet - "Girlfriend" Intervention Records - IR-021 Man, this is a great pressing. 2xLP, so it has all 15 tracks from the original album, plus 3 bonus tracks. OK, so here's a good use for the 2xLP format I complained about a couple of ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? David Gray - "Mutineers" Again! What a great album. Glad it's available on vinyl. |
