Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks
Ohlala, Ken has demonstrated his willingness to both learn and share his knowledge and experience via this and other forums MANY times over. As such, not everyone that sells a product is looking through you into your wallet.There are more than a f... 
will a ps audio 600 power a krell kav 250 and ead tm 500?
Bazmataz is talking about running SEVEN channels of amplification along with an array or source components off of a supply that is capable of appr FIVE amps continuous !!! The turn on surge of the amps alone would be stressful to the PS unit in th... 
Why aren't these on the "recommended list?"
WOW ( to say the least ). While that was a pretty ambitious effort on your part Doug, there are more than a few pieces that come to mind right off the top of my head that were reviewed favorably and did not make "the list". As such, there are a fe... 
Would like to modify my Pioneer pd-65, any suggestions?
Contact Bob Crump ( TG Audio ) or Tony DiGiovanni ( G & D Transforms ). Bob is well familiar with this unit and Tony sells parts that are commonly used to upgrade these and other units. If one of them is not interested in working on the unit d... 
White cloudy film on inside groove of an LP
As usual, Albert is right on the money. Only problem with the situation is that it sounds like you've had the discs for longer than a few days. With that in mind, you might not be able to return them unless you had contacted the dealer upon receip... 
Can CD's deteriorate by LASER ROT?
There are obviously different levels of intensity on lasers or any other form of energy. With that in mind, don't you think that the plastic would melt / become deformed before it could actually soften / distort the aluminum disc ???I think that w... 
Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks
I do agree with your basic statements. I too have found most threaded rod racks to be "convenient" rather than a sonic benefit. I've also found that "heavy" shelves are typically not to my liking.With that in mind and while i've got your attention... 
Unreadable CDs: unscientific testing
Check this one out. After sharing the results that i posted here with my brother, he told me of another "budget cure" that one of his "gearhead" ( muscle car fanatic ) buddies came up with. After trying to play a disc that kept skipping and "error...

NO WAY. Sean> 
Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks
Playing "devil's advocate" here, huh Ken : ) That's okay though, as if it weren't for folks like you, many of us out here would not have tried some of the other racks / shelves / devices that are available. On top of that, we might not have ever t... 
Any source for info on Dynaco PAS 3 ???
An Audiogon member was kind enough to directly forward a good Dynaco based website to me. I'm taking the liberty of posting that info and publicly saying "THANK YOU" to the party that was responsible. I figured that others may find this interestin... 
Best DAC to match CEC drive model TL 1
Fr something WAY below your "looking" price of $5K but matching the sonic description that you mentioned, try contacting Ric at EVS. Ask him about the Millennium II upsampler that he sells direct for $1050. Music Direct told me that this piece wou... 
Which is warmer sounding Counerpoint SA12 or SA100
My (limited) first hand experience with Counterpoint gear is that it is not "warm" at all. I find it to be pretty forward sounding while offering bloated, indistinct bass. Others that i know and trust have said that they found the Counterpoint "hy... 
Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio?
Sal, you are NOT crazy. You've found something that:1) Gives you great joyThis is pretty obvious or you wouldn't continue your involvement with it. The fact that you even based a "vacation" on it should tell them it is more than just something tha... 
Need opinions: Proceed AVP vs. Anthem AVM20
Just for the record, Anthem is part of Sonic Frontiers. They are hardly a "small company" and will probably be around for quite some time. At least we hope so : ) Sean>
