| Dirt on my stylus.....what to do? I've got and use the Record Research #9 fluid that Albert recommended. I purchased this after talking to Josh at Music Direct. He told me that out of all of the vinyl products that they sell and the others that they have tried out, he likes this t... | |
| OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1 I tried re-installing it and things went "fine" this time, at least so far. I'll give it a try and see how things go from here. If they bottom out, i'll be switching back to Win2K. Sean> | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? Mwilson: My Klipsch are VERY far from stock. I really should not even call them "Klipsch" any more. I intend to do a complete re-design with all new cabinets this coming winter. This should extend their bass another 20 Hz or so according to my cal... | |
| Re-wired to 30 amps? Regardless of what the books and theory tell you, 12 gauge is NOT sufficient for a sustained 20 amp load over an extended length of cable. Count on using 10 gauge for a 20 amp circuit. I have measured sizable voltage drops with the resultant loss ... | |
| Linn or VPI Phil, i went to the auction that the bank held once they had assumed Avant Garde Audio. I knew that they had Linn products, but did not know that they were located where the old Linn store was. I did think that it was kind of "weird" that Linn wou... | |
| Should Class A Amps be left on?? Leave them on and make sure that they have adequate airflow. Sean> | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? I told my live in girlfriend of 6+ years that she can pick the decor so long as it does not affect the acoustics of any room that i have a system set up in. With that in mind, i try to work with her in terms of how equipment is placed, the ergonom... | |
| Linn or VPI Elkyman: As i stated in my post, my comments are based on older Linn's. I do not know if they have made any changes to these as i have not seen / used one of these in a LONG time. My friend Carl used to be a dealer for them back in the mid 80's. T... | |
| Best Power Conditioner? Jtinn: While i do not have a PS unit, i was curious as to how much of a load you were pulling and what model PS was being used when you observed a "lack of dynamics" / "current limiting" ? I can understand such a thing occuring if one was trying t... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? I will not go into specifics, but let's just say that much of my "electronics know-how" comes from hands-on experience. Luckily, i've learned from "most" of my mistakes, which is what most of my "experience" has been composed of : ) Sean> | |
| Linn or VPI If i had to choose between these two tables, there is no doubt in my mind as to which direction i would head in. Personally, i would go for the VPI and never think twice about a Linn. Linn's are EXTREMELY tweaky and need someone that is willing to... | |
| Output filter Caps Lincoln: Thanks for posting your source. Sound Valves used to have some other caps a while back that i was interested in. As it turns out, just as i was going to purchase some from them, they sold out. Glad to see that they "stumbled" across some ... | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? While i don't know the specifics of the situation, i do know that the original Dunlavy SC IV's actually ran the midrange drivers down below their point of resonance. As anyone that has ever tinkered with speaker design knows, this is a BIG "no-no"... | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? I think that Thiel's are basically a very demanding speaker. At the same time, they are not very forgiving either. This can mean a LOT more work for someone interested in running them than if they chose a speaker that was "less accurate" and / or ... | |
| Pain in my butt Ernie, i'm sorry to hear and learn of your situation. Health issues are never easy to deal with, especially when it comes to just being able to perform normal run of the mill, day to day functions. Health is something that most of us take for gran... |
