| Review: Star Sound Technology Sistrum SP-4 Audio Rack Stand Hi, in answer to the question about placing a turntable on the top shelf (points, actually) of the Sistrum rack, I do just that with my Linn LP-12. Complete isolation from footfalls, both human and dog. Plus all the improvement in sound that the r... | |
| McIntosh Tuner Alignment If you just get an alignment done at Audio Classics (which I did instead of the Modafferi mods) Richard aligns and cleans it and checks out all the tubes etc. and it "only" costs $300. I went that route instead of the mods and the tuner really tun... | |
| Digital Stylus Force Gauge: Which One?? Thank you, Rshak, I will try contacting him directly. Do you have a website or phone no. or email for him? | |
| A to D to SACD to A: A Natural Progression? I had a bunch of shelves to fit CDs and LPs built into the back wall of my rec room/listening room (click on my "All tube system" under system to see it), which uncluttered my rooms immediately. But I still collect a lot of ordinary redbook CDs an... | |
| Which stands are recommended for ProAC 1SC speaker My stands for the 1SC's are Sound Anchors, heavy, spiked and stable. I use Ensemble cables, both speaker and interconnects. I find nothing bright about the 1SC's in my system, in my system (with ARC CA50 45-watt tube integrated) they sound just li... | |
| Digital Stylus Force Gauge: Which One?? FYI: Since Wally of Wally Tools is just one guy, there is a backorder waitlist of approx. 8 weeks on his stylus force gauges! I just called Music Direct and got this info. Also, as others have noted, the guy at Music Direct uses the Shure $20 scal... | |
| any good tweeks for marantz sa 1 sacd player The only tweak I've done to mine is place it on a Sistrum rack. It sounds wonderful, along with all the other equipment I put there. There are mods available from Reference Audio Mods that I've seen advertised here, but I haven't gone for that exp... | |
| Looking For High Quality Equipment Rack I have owned many many racks and now own the Sistrum 5- shelf (plus Sistrum stands under my floorstanding speakers). You can use the discs under the spiked feet on your hardwood floor, as someone else has pointed out. I think the looks are stunnin... | |
| Purchasing used lps on Audiogon I have bought a number of used albums from audiogon sellers such as Kaleidakol, Albumhead, LPGal, and emil_anghel. I have been extremely pleased with my purchases, none was very expensive, and all of the albums were as represented--excellent to ve... | |
| Jolida, to modify or not... Muralman, what marvelous tubes are you using in your Jolida? I'm thinking of getting one and definitely want to invest in better tubes for it. | |
| Tiny bubbles do not make me happy, Help. But I should say, the bubble was in the black part of my faceplate! I don't know what your C22 looks like. If it's clear, why not a piece of regular clear cellophane tape? | |
| Tiny bubbles do not make me happy, Help. I put a small piece of black electrical tape on the back of the glass, over the bubble, on my MR-67 tuner and can't tell it's there anymore. Or else you can order a new glass faceplate from Audio Classics for about $100. | |
| $2000 CDP for Rock Music???? I would change the pre before I sold the Cal Icon (I am biased because I too have the Icon), which I think is a great-sounding, smooth, non-fatiguing CD player. You can get a similarly sounding, smoother preamp than the one you are using for $2000... | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Phasecorrect, you are as usual, correct about REM. I found a website that had the lyrics to all their songs once, and even translated, the lyrics made no sense at all! Michael Stipe just did a stream of consciousness rant. Sounded good but was unt... | |
| How to handle Clicks and pops When i had my Meridian CD player system (500 transport, 566 DAC, 518 DSP) i would occasionally get the ticks and pops you are describing. I had to power everything down, wait a couple of minutes, then power up again and the problem was gone. If th... |
