| So what sub are you using for your Home theater? While my HT mains each have two 12's per cabinet, the center channel has two 8's and the rears have two 10's per cabinet, i'm also running two good sized DIY sealed and stuffed subs. Each cabinet houses a 12" driver with a Q of .5 at resonance. Th... | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? How many of you folks have ever compared identical models i.e. one Pioneer TX-9500 vs another Pioneer TX-9500 etc... against each other ? I've done this on many occasions with as many as a half dozen identical models at one time. My findings ? Eve... | |

| What do You listen to? Audiophanatik: I know of and listen to quite a few different bands that you mentioned. Having said that, some of what you did list is utter crap : )As a side note, Satanism is the worship of Satan. The name says it all. As to what your "definition... | |
| Other "silver" spk cables..... Goertz AG series product line are silver, not silver plated copper. At this point though, you are starting to get pretty pricey. Sean> | |
| Getting started, need amp recommendation While this might fly in the face of a lot of "audiophiles" that will read this, i would suggest taking a look at thisYamaha M-80 or this Yamaha M-80 listed here on Agon. While this is strictly an amp without a means of multiple source selection, i... | |
| Thoughts on the Vintage Adcom GFA1A 200WPC I can't remember too much about this amp other than it was very small and marketed as competition for the "Carver cube". If my memory serves me, i think that this amp actually clipped at about 280 wpc @ 8 ohms, making it a stout little performer, ... | |
| So what sub are you using for your Home theater? Do they have to be just for an HT system ? What is the limit for how many subs you can have or list ? : ) Sean> | |
| Record clamps Take a look at them for yourself. Here's a link to a selection of record clamps that are available from Jerry Raskin's Needle Doctor. The Sota is more costly, but it is also more rigid and offers better clamping action in my opinion. I have both t... | |
| Does it matter what gauge power cord that you use? Heavier gauge cables typically have a greater amount of dielectric around each conductor. As such, this can change the impedance of the cable as a whole. Dielectric absorption may also become a bigger factor as you have more surface area of the la... | |
| Can the 16.5 record cleaning machine clean 78 RPM? I don't see why the VPI couldn't clean a 78 other than you might have to be careful in terms of the cleaning solvents used. If you have a lot of 78's to clean, you might want to think about buying a separate brush and solution tube just for use wi... | |
| Does removing the plastic covers on caps help? I agree with some of the points that you bring up Mbhcid. The plastic covering is more of an afterthought by most manufacturers to say the least and is primarily used as an insulator and as a means of identification. Having said that, that does no... | |
| Voltage Regulators & Sound Quality Jayarr: I'm not familiar with those devices at all. Having said that, I will only add that a toroidal based product will always perform to a lower level than an old "iron core" I-E type transformer based product IF built with "top quality" in mind... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Muralman: There is NO way for anyone to know exactly what is on the disc or what it the "most correct" interpretation of what one can hear. That is, unless they were involved in the recording / mastering process of each and every recording that th... | |
| Does removing the plastic covers on caps help? Two sides to this story. Both of them have to do with capacitors ringing and / or being microphonic. Leaving the plastic on may reduce ringing and damp the level of microphonics that a cap is suffering from. Removing the plastic will raise the fre... |
