| What ever happened to Krell ? None of these comments stopped me from just purchasing a recently recapped & serviced FBP-300 amp which should arrive from Krell in a few days. It's been over 20 years since I sold my KSA-50. After recent searches led me to 30yr old Sound Lab ... | |
| Power Cables for Krell FPB300 Guys, thanks for those suggestions. As a renter, adding 20amp line is near impossible. I am in old house with fuses not circuit breakers. Somebody mentioned that since the outlets are on opposite side of house from the fuse box, extra resistance w... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? @bdp24 I feel your pain, with both HD & Lowes the inventory often doesn't match what online says is there. A frequent time waster. Your plan sound solid. If you do want more low freq absortion (i.e. bass traps for those front corners, rock woo... | |
| Best value record cleaner/cleaning system @nkonor, Rushton's thread links to an article that details all the chemicals etc. and where to buy them, all for ultrasonic, not steam. I use that method and then do 2 wet rinses & vacuum using a manual DIY spinner made from an Ikea lazy susan... | |
| A Question For All You VPI Prime Owners Vinh Vu at Gingko Audio makes & sells more VPI dust covers than anyone. He is stand up guy and offers nice value. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Building an all analog system around Magnepan .7 for 4K and under Rogue/Maggie is a frequent combo, and should work nicely. Have you heard the .7s and listened to plenty of basscentric music? They are small which limits low freq ability and although many don't miss it much, since you are both bass-knowledgable a... | |
| What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp?? @fluffers Congrats, awesome gear & match. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Why no tube loaner/testdrives--It's hard being an audiophile Tequila-loving cartridge rollers have it far worse. Cheers,Spencer | |
| What to do with old LP inner sleeve? If the original ad sleeves make too tight a fit, sometimes I slide them in the outer sleeve behind the album cover. Those old ads are an entertaining read sometimes. It's not every day that you can read promos for England Dan & John Ford Coley... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? That's correct about Aqvox, from 2CI manual: "uses RIAA equalization with Neumann time constant because almost all records are cutted using this or similar extension. uses Neumann extension, providing extended high frequency range and a correct ... | |
| What is the "best" cartridge a Technics 1210... @lordvampire,Your upgrade plan sounds solid, but you didn't mention two of the most effective: bearing upgrade & KAB fluid damper. Here is a good resource for you: http://theartofsound.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?46-The-TechiepediaAlso, FWIW, I... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? I have a number of Owens 703 panels (with Oxford transparent cloth) and wood frames. They are very effective and haven't degraded over time, including having been moved to a couple of different homes. In lively rooms w/dynamic driver speakers they... | |
| What is the "best" cartridge a Technics 1210... @chakster Nice post, good advice. @lordvampire , "all the good headshells I see are 12g". No. Yamamoto makes a number of lighter ones including 7g Boxwood. Cheers,Spencer | |
| What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's I love the last three posts and earlier on suggested a Technics 1200 with mods to the OP. The Jelco arm being a perfect example of such upgrade. The audiomods arm is another interesting design that I haven't had a chance to hear but looks worthy o... | |
