| Lifted grounds- No more FM distortion on Tuner Buckingham, stranger things have been known to happen. Just be glad that you were able to get the problem resolved. By the way, have you tried grounding the amps and lifting the preamp, tuner and other sources ? Some say this works better, but i t... | |
| Why do dealers email you when your selling? I've listed several items for sale over time and never gotten anything like the type of response that you state. I agree that it would be in-appropriate for a dealer to do something like that, but that's what they make the "delete" key for. Just c... | |
| Have you ever collected on insurance???? I have collected on every claim that i have made and learned a LOT about how these work along the way. Some have been resolved in as little as two weeks, others have taken almost a year. I currently have one in "litigation" with Fed Ex that is goi... | |
| Salsa and high energy latin jazz album suggestions I know that Francisco aka PsychicAnimal would have a large list to post here, but he just left to visit his family back home. I'm sure that he'll be overjoyed when he see's this one once he gets back : ) Sean> | |
| phillips TDA1541 chip If you don't get any responses here, try posting this over in either the Digital or Tweaks Asylum at AA. Sean> | |
| HELP Speakers sound brighter and 3D stage is lost Ezmeralda, i thought the same thing. The measurements are probable from the insides of each speaker in terms of spacing, then you have the width of each speaker cabinet ( which might be appr a foot and a half x 2 ) and then the distance from their... | |
| Naim -- Fatiguing? Drubin, i was talking about the design of the DIN connectors, not Naim itself.Lugnut, thanks for the kind words and clarification. My bedroom system consists of all Quad gear, hence my "love / hate" relationship with DIN connectors. The fact that ... | |
| subwoofer setup problem Karls, i think that most people don't realize that a vent is only "tuned" or "effective" at the one specific frequency that it is resonated at. As such, they are an absolute "mess" anywhere outside of that range and typically do WAY more harm than... | |
| Anyone familiar with "White Stripes" ??? Fujindemon, thanks for pointing out that Best Buy had this on sale. Picked it up and it's okay. Kind of old school stripped down rock and roll garage band material played with a somewhat "punk" attitude. I can hear quite a bit of "old fogey" influ... | |
| Naim -- Fatiguing? Lugnut, does Naim gear use 5 pin DIN's like some of the older Quad gear ? I sure hope not, as those are some of the worst connectors known to man. With all of the "hoopla" about "German Engineering", i can't believe that they found those things ac... | |
| tt advice. best arm/table combo around 4k used I agree with Scott. The Acoustic Signature's at least look very nice for the money. Don't know a whole lot about them though, but i bet that they might be worth checking out.I would venture to say that those tables along with the VPI's, Linn's, et... | |
| anyone else daisy chain "jitterboxes"? What do you folks consider to be the main benefit of a jitter box ?I tried a Monarchy Super Dip quite a while ago and did not really care for it. The most noticeable effects were that it made everything sound very "etched" and "hi-fi". Some might ... | |
| Pass Labs or Audio Research Solid State Amplifiers If you want to rock and are thinking about Pass Labs, avoid the Aleph's and go for the X amps. Far more focused and punchy but not as sweet and romantic. Can't comment on the ARC SS amps.Meisterkleef, i am amazed that you have a set of Kinetic's. ... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Ah, this stuff is all bogus. Where's my Fisher-Price Close & Play when you need it : ) Sean> | |
| Music recommendations, please How can anyone mention the Flute and not think of Ian Anderson : )Actually, he has a VERY nice disc out entitled "Divinities: Twelve Dances With God". It is NOTHING like Jethro Tull, so get that out of your head right now. Besides being an excelle... |
