| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Since we are on the subject, let me add to the "snake oil" side of the debate.Just picked up a new power cord that was absolutely raved about in a couple of reviews. I bought it used, so the price was not as bad as buying new. I did this even thou... | |
| Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms. While i can't hold a candle to Albert's knowledge or experience with vinyl, i do agree with his comments. I currently have three different linear trackers and one pivoted arm TT. As someone else mentioned in another recent TT / vinyl thread, it is... | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Yeah, that has me kind of worried too Glen. I'm thinking that some of the coupling caps from board ground to chassis ground are coupling just a "bit" too much. The two that were up that high are also older pieces of gear, so i bet more than a few ... | |
| Any good gear made in Taiwan? My Marsh is packed up in the box, otherwise i could verify. Thailand sounds right, but i might be mistaken. It wouldn't be the first time either : ) Sean> | |
| Wanna help with my room? I would HIGHLY avoid room dimensions of 9 x 12 x 18. You would have MASSIVE standing wave problems at multiple frequencies. For best results, none of the dimensions should be easily divided by a common multiple. As such, 18 is directly divisible b... | |
| Reasonbly priced processor w. balanced outputs? The only one that i know for sure that offers this is the Sunfire Theater Grand. You can find the originals for well under $2K and the Mk II's for somewhere right around there on the used market. Others may have that feature, but none of them i ha... | |
| Anyone heard of this ? Possible "scam" ? Thanks for the input folks. I'm going to find out more info today, but at least you have somewhat re-assured me on this one. I am not a "videophile" by any means even though i do have a large HT system. Sean> | |
| Chiro 5.1 and C-800 The source player has to have DTS capability in order for the processor to work correctly. As such, if your EAD is not DTS capable, you will never get DTS out of the Chiro unit. Sean> | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Sugar is right and thanks for bringing that up. Sometimes we forget that people are "joining the conversation" with little to no background on previous threads.You can pick up an AC Polarity Tester at your local hardware store or even Rat Shack. T... | |
| Phono cable for 100? Phono cable for 100 ??? What, is Alex Trebek hosting Audiogon now ??? SeanPS... Sorry, but i couldn't resist : ) | |
| Need help solving hum problem I have tried EVERYTHING known to man to minimize the hum that i'm experiencing. I'm wondering if it doesn't have to do with how these designers are are using the upsampling devices and trying to keep circuitry to a minimum ??? I recently did a "tw... | |
| Does Cary stack up to ARC Cary's seem to have a pretty massive amount of "soundstaging", "depth of image" and "air" to me. MUCH more-so than any ARC stuff that i've heard. The Cary stuff is also notably warmer in my experience. If all of those things are what you are looki... | |
| Your "Budget Cable" recommendations, please...... Dan, I would like to publicly say that you should not put more weight in anything that i have to say as compared to anybody else. I'm sure that everyone contributing to this thread is offering very honest and sincere suggestions. There is NO guara... | |
| what makes SME arms so special ?? It is not so much the arm itself, but it is what is inside it that makes it special. If you wonder what i'm talking about, try reading the post titled "Audiophile Oddities" regarding a YBA preamp. If you were to crack open an SME, i think that you... | |
| Against everything that high end cables stand for Bravo, Herman, Bravo !!!! Thank you for an honest and accurate appraisal that just so happens to agree with my personal point of view : )The "synergy" that Derrick "stumbled" upon is no mistake. He is using cables, speakers, racks and room treatme... |
