| TECH GURU's out there, how to clean Circuit Board? If it aint broke ......I would take the lid off, go outside and use a can of compressed air to blast off the excess dust and hair. The only reason I would do this is to ensure good air circulation inside the amp and prevent fires. IF you're very c... | |
| TT set up question "IT WAS SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE SIDE ENDED"End of side distortion can occur anywhere in the last couple of tracks on a side. It can start several minutes before the side ends. It is typically coincident with the louder passages of music and sou... | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro Forget markup, forget profit margin. Just ask yourself this"Do these speakers give me the best possible sound for the money ?Am I prepared to spend this much on a pair of speakers ?"If you answer yes to both then buy them. If no to either then don... | |
| Best floorstanders under $1000 new or used What types of music do you listen to ? Do you want to be able to play air-guitar to AC/DC or bathe in the sound of a string quartet ? (I do both ... but finding speakers that do it all is tricky and/or expensive). | |
| Best floorstanders under $1000 new or used That's a big room, and will need a big speaker and some power to fill it. You need to tell us the amp you plan on using, the type of music, and the source.A bit above your budget there are Epos ES30s on audiogon. These are great speakers. Stretch ... | |
| DAC and Jitter box question......... Use whatever sounds better to you.If the DIP makes no difference to you then sell it and buy some more CDs. If it improves the system keep it.(I have a DIP and it makes a big improvement to my Monarchy 22A DAC). | |
| TT set up question That's the last time I ever answer one of your threads. If you knew it was not end of side distortion why didn't you specify so in the original thread. You could be a little more gracious with people who have voluntarily tried to help you out. | |
| Low capacitance IC?? The capacitance of a cable is determined by its geometry and its materials, particularly the dielectric. PTFE is good, foamed PTFE is better, and air is the best dielectric.The lowest possible capacitance would be two widely spaced, bare wires in ... | |
| Affordable anti-jitter device I think you'd be better aiming for a reclocking DAC such as the benchmark. You get state of the art reclocking and a state of the art DAC. Used they run about $700, which is not too far above your budget for DAC and DIP.My own setup is a Monarchy ... | |
| Any opinions re UK forums Vs. Audiogon? "I think UK audio forums are just marketing tools, you can't believe a word of what's written on them. If they're not trying to sell you something, they're trying to pick a fight with you."That's very odd, since many of the recommendations on pink... | |
| TT set up question Sounds like end of side distortion to me. Did it sound like a coarse fuzziness during load passages, or more like the tics and pops of dust on the LP ? | |
| Affordable anti-jitter device Third the DIP, but get the latest incarnation "DIP classic". It's a true resampler, rather than a phase locked loop, and it is somewhat better than the older generations.Alternatively you could sell the MF DAC and get a Benchmark, | |
| Any opinions re UK forums Vs. Audiogon? I like both Pinkfishmedia and Audiogon, but they are of a very different character. I most certainly wouldn't characterize pinkfish as juvenile, but it's certainly less inhibited, and if you express strong opinions you need to make sure you have t... | |
| CD-player under US$1,100? I think it's worth trying to demo a Rega apolloI have not heard it myself, but a friend of mine was in the design team for the laser controller and data retrieval, and apparently the system Rega uses is far superior to anything in its price range.... | |
| REL is dead. Long live REL Drubin .... I don't think I'm being naive. There has been a steady move towards brand recognition ABOVE ALL ELSE. Of course a quality brand will develop a following over time. But if that brand becomes simply a name, completely divorced from what ... |
