| do you need to tweak a tape deck??? My God, I've owned my Nak CR-7 for 12 yrs and all this time it has sat on its stock feet, no tweaks, on the MDF shelf of my Salamander rack. The tapes I make for my car or even--I am loath to confess--to play back during dinner parties on my big r... | |
| Need Help with New DAC Get the Bel Canto 1.1 used for around $750, or pay $1350 for the new model 2.0. The 1.1 sounds GREAT! I am not the only one who thinks so. Another option is a California Audio Labs Sigma 24/96 or Alpha 24/96. These have tubes and even without the ... | |
| Why do dealers email you when your selling? I've sold tons of stuff here and never had that happen, even once. I hope it's not the wave of the future. | |
| Have you ever collected on insurance???? Three claims, and three successful collections within 6 weeks of the claim, from FedEx Ground. But you MUST follow through, fax and refax because they always lose your first 2 claim forms, make phone calls to Claims Service to check on status, wri... | |
| Quality recordings that make you want to dance Los Super Seven, either of their CDs. I cannot sit while listening, and I also can't stop shrieking "AY! AY! AY!" These are both great recordings too. I think I shriek more to the second one than the first. | |

| Audio Research is looking to sell the company And if they aren't, as others have said, their equipment runs for years and years without a hitch. Still have an SP-14 from 1987(?) 88(?) Anyway, it's super. | |
| Power cord to use on Marantz SA-1 SACD player ? I use a regular Ensemble MegaFlux power cord with my SA-1 to great effect and with no ill effects from the fact that the SA-1 only has the two-prong inlet. There's just one female part that isn't used on the cord I guess; it doesn't make any diffe... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Thank you, Ghostrider! I have understood your explanation, and it makes sense. I only pray that I can remember it for the next time I wonder why the hell my BAT preamp has that "phase" switch on it, and what I'm supposed to do about it. | |
| The road to insanity... Piglet, it only gets WORSE. After completing and tweaking and twisting and turning your main system to your satisfaction, you discover that you cannot stand to listen to the radio in your bedroom anymore. Or the little leftover system you placed o... | |
| AC-3 output and outboard DAC Hi, I have a Pioneer LD/DVD player too, the DVL-91 I think it is, and the AC-3 out to the RF demodulator I bought here (a B&K unit) does not decode anything but movie soundtracks, no CDs. | |
| Tubes with Gold pins have issues in some sockets? I am not a tubehead so I don't know. But I love my tube equipment and have changed and used many different small-pin tubes in my tuners (Mac and Scott), CD player (Ah Tjoeb), preamp, phono preamp, and integrated amp (the three latter all by ARC) a... | |
| Recommendation for amp & pre combo +- 3,000? Get an Ayre V3 and K3 preamp, avail. at your price used. | |
| What has blown my tweeter???? I also would refer you to several recent threads regarding the known hazard domestic cats pose to stereo equipment. Cats have been observed lying on amplifiers and sitting/crouching on top of speakers. If a cat or pair of cats has had access to yo... | |
| Easy way to find that hard to get import. Sugar, try Amazon.com.UK (I'm not sure I've got the wording right, maybe it's AmazonUK.com) also! I got a CD from an English artist 5 days after ordering online, faster than if I ordered from Amazon USA. |
