| Audiolab 8000A and 8000S Audiolab are back in businesshttp://www.audiolab.co.uk/I think they are under Chinese ownership, but have a presence in the UK. Try contacting them directly. | |
| Acoustic Research AR18 .. anyone know of them ? Thanks actung .. if you ever need a spare set of speakers try refoaming them. There are plenty of sites on the internet. I used these guys http://www.wooferrepair.com/For $25 and a couple of hours of time it beats buying some modern junk speakers ... | |
| My CD player's specs Bob,I think the key phrase in the article is "in a correctly designed CD playback system ". Many are not correctly designed and have excessive jitter, often caused by poor layout as much as poor design (e.g.stray capacitance of circuit traces, noi... | |
| My CD player's specs There are only 16 bits of information on the disc. Using convertors with greater is only done to increase DAC linearity. Contrary to Bob's assertions I believe jitter is extremely important, and swamps distortions in the analog output. Bob ... try... | |
| Anyone can tell me the cartridge shown here? It's an inexpensive audio-technica MM, which should work very well with a rega arm and your creek amp. I used to use an AT-95E on my planar 3 then upgraded to a Linn K9 (rebadged AT) which I ended up using a with At-95E replacement stylii when Lin... | |
| Linn Isobarik PMS DMS = domestic monitor systemPMS = professional monitor systemI'm not sure if the differences were purely aesthetic (ala ATC) but they were two distinct speakers. | |
| Linn Isobarik PMS Try asking at www.pinkfishmedia.net. Lot's of Brik (DMS/PMS Isobarik) users and ex-users over there. | |
| Spendor s8e Imaging/Soundstage? Steve, not exactly apples and apples, but .....I used to own, and like, Spica Angelus. Like the TC60s the imaging was very good. I borrowed some spendor S3/5s from a friend, expecting that they would beat the spicas (since they get such rave revie... | |
| Analog cables for TT If you want to lower capacitance relatively cheaply replace the RCA connectors with Eichmann bullet plugs.It's hard to get very low capacitance in a shielded cable, since the shielding is inherently capacitive design. Twin-parallel conductors (nor... | |
| Analog cables for TT The hovland is an $800 cable. Are we seriously suggesting using an $800 cable on a project turntable ? Honestly I don't think that is a good allocation of resources. | |
| Analog cables for TT The main difference is that because the signal is very much lower than the output of the CD player shielding is much more important. Unshielded interconnects can be used to very good effect with care on CD player outputs, but a turntable interconn... | |
| A new analog medium I think analog vs digital is missing the point. We should use whatever medium is best able to capture and reproduce music. DVD-A looked to be a good standard on paper to me, but unfortunately the buying public were not interested.Anyone who tells ... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" A CD rom drive (OEM) can cost under $5, and can read 700Mbytes without a single bit error, yet, apparently kilobuck CD players cannot do the same ?I don't think bit errors are an explanation.Some people have pointed out that the digital data is in... | |
| REL sub hook up I own a REL and what you are proposing will work fine. | |
| Pressing eject instead of stop damaging dvd player It would be an insanely poor engineering design. If you allow a button to be pressed while the disk is playing you should assume it will be pressed and design accordingly.Both stop and eject are electronic, probably connected to the same controlli... |
