| Repairing MDF shelf finish Plastic wood should work also with a magic marker for color. Of course you could also turn the shelf around if the chip is on the front. | |
| FM Reception -Car Antenna vs. Home Antenna Modern car tuners are much better than home audio tuners but your Mac should be a good one. A car antenna does not work well at home because car antennae use the car as part of the antenna. A rooftop antenna is the best and one with a rotor is eve... | |
| Best sounding SACD disc? John Lord/Beyond the Notes is beautiful if you like classical with a little jazz thrown in. It also has a cut with Frida from Abba on vocals. It's a little hard to find but worth it. The DVD is great too and is also hard to find and only available... | |
| Drying sand in the oven- anyone try it? I have done it but you need to do it in small quantities and stir it often at about 200F. You could go higher with temp I suppose. You won't burn it. | |
| AC polarisation. Does it matter? I should point out that some devices use polarized plugs for safty reasons and if reversed could cause shocks, fires or damaged equipment. One such episode happened to me with the afore mentioned cable box where an electrician had wired the recept... | |
| AC polarisation. Does it matter? (The AC polarity could also be off on the wall plug. No reason to believe the crew that installed the outlets in the house got all the wires put on the plugs the right way. They work very fast.)They had better get the polarity correct or it can ca... | |

| What is better turntable? Thorens TD127 or TD520? The 520 is a beautiful table with a 12" arm. | |
| Acoustic Progressive Rock I bought Into the Witchwood a little while back and it is great. It also has Rick Wakeman on keyboards. You may like Barouqe and Roll also which is mostly acoustic I believe. | |
| KRELL KSA 50 100 150 0r 250. I would look at the KSA 80b instead of the KSA 100. It is a newer design and has heatsinks instead of a fan. It can also be converted at the factory to mono if later on you wanted more power then it would become a KSA 160. | |
| What is better turntable? Thorens TD127 or TD520? The 520. | |
| XLR-RCA-BNC sonic quality differences The main thing about XLRs is the lower noise floor and less potential for hum. When used in a truly balanced system you also have the advantage of 6db more of gain. An XLR uses three conductors. The positive and negative have there own conductors ... | |
| New ARC Preamp ?? There will be an LS-26 soon. |
