| Standalone VU Power Meters? Many thanks to you Mrd. The quest is on for an Onkyo U-30 System Unit. But holy cow, the few on google seem to have gone for hundreds of clams. Just my luck.Tp: everybody knows nothing says stereo maniac like a pair of large, lighted VU meters. Ac... | |
| ProAc response 2 and 2 `S` Either is sure to sound wonderful. The 2 is front ported, the 2S is rear ported. Not sure but I think they both use foam woofer surrounds which fail periodically. | |
| On or off question... If it cost a bundle and you want it to last forever because there's a good chance it just might, leave it on. If you can afford to replace it when it dies and it is likely to fall apart anyway, turn it off and on. | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Paranoia using a record brush made belt drive a non-hunter for me. A real drag, haha. | |
| Who was your first Yeah I can appreciate the cultural myopia that might conclude that jazz is an answer to social ostracism or that musicians who must work for a living never tire of complaining about the competition. But of all the genres jazz is the one solely abo... | |
| Analog Noob: I have a few questions Never fear, every noob on the block used to have a working TT setup. For a new cartridge go to garage-a-records.com for a Shure M97xE. For a new TT get one somebody on here suggests that fits the Shure and has an understandable installation manual... | |
| John Klemmer Am glad Jwong spoke up. If you enjoy pretty sounding sax try Grover Washington too. To hear something a little different scoop up a Charlie Parker album. | |
| Who was your first Interesting thread. Back when all I listened to was mind bending rock like Hendrix, King Crimson and Procul Harum I bought Miles Davis Bitches Brew for the cover art. Man was I disappointed; it sounded like incomprehensible, unmusical noise. A sho... | |
| channel cutting in and out If the volume control is scratchy you could also try polishing the contacts by rapidly spinning the knob all the way up and down several times with the preamp off. | |
| "Fun" Speaker As An Alternative To Revel Salon I Second for vintage, perhaps some redone EPI 100's with way cool inverted dome tweeters. It stops being fun when you're afraid to rest a potted plant, cold drink or lit cigarette on the cabinet. | |
| What is meant by IMPORT? In the USA the large scale manufacture and release of compact discs is performed by huge distributors like Universal, BMG and Sony. Same title releases made anywhere else in the world independent of these distribution agreements are imports. Likew... | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? ECM Records for the top quality sound on every release in the catalog. | |
| Which is better longer xlr or speaker cable The $15 fifteen foot Hosa's are well made with silver contact Neutriks. When I had them I always felt shortchanged somehow. Now using long Kimber XLR PBJs with no urge to change them. Wire characteristics are typically described by the linear foot... | |
| House Wiring Defect? Thanks Barry, yep I took apart my Kimber PBJ's overcomplicated Switchcraft XLRs to check their wiring before I figured out everything needed to be on the same outlet.For the record, although the outlets are wired with three core wire, the electric... | |
| how to clean nasty, dirty finger prints on LPs Try pure 99% isopropyl alky if you can still find it or straight 90% if not. Put a drop on the print and lightly spread it to cover with a corner of your record brush. Let it sit a few moments. Then brush it round with the brush as usual. Try agai... |
