| Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ? Different veneers and finishes require different methods. Some are finished so they can breath and some aren't. If your finish is supposed to breath, you must be careful because oiling it or applying pledge or wax etc. can clog the pores and now y... | |
| Did Redbook get it right? The way I remember it, when CD was developed, the directive was for it to be able to fit a whole symphony on one CD. It might have been even spec'd on Beethoven's Ninth. So they essentially worked backwards on sampling rate to figure out what was ... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Rcprince is absolutely right on his post above. Also, if you don't have inserts and your screws are just going straight into MDF or Plywood, you run the danger of stripping the threading in the cabinet. Be careful.One other issue I've read about c... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for $500ish For all those recommending rear ported speakers for a person who is going to back them against the wall, have you heard the speakers you are recommending in that position? I'm an owner and a huge fan of the Silverline Minuets, but if someone came ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I'm a big Omega fan. Haven't heard the Tekton's yet, but I know that out of those who have heard both some prefer the Omegas and some prefer the Tektons, but really, they are quite different designs. I own different single driver speakers from Fos... | |
| Is my preamp useless? Zd542,While I agree that seeing a listing of others' megabuck systems doesn't necessarily make them better qualified to make recommendations, I do think seeing system setups can be very helpful in evaluating poster's comments.Seeing systems, the w... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Great news that they've finally gotten to the bottom of this. I hope your listening trouble free very soon! Thanks for the update. | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables @Swampwalker,You are completely correct. People counterfeit S/N's all the time. The bad counterfeiters simply use the same one over and over making them easy to spot over time, but the good ones change them up.The only way to truly authenticate pr... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I wonder if Brian at A-Note could send you an amp that he knows is working properly to see if it does work with the Decapos. If it does work, then you know you'll still need to troubleshoot, if it doesn't, then you could save everyone a lot of tim... | |
| Integrated to go with KEF LS50 Mapman was being nice when he said they sounded thin in his larger room. They were anemic and absolutely outclassed by the Dynaudios he had. As he mentioned, the Kef's were much better balanced in his smaller sunroom. That was a fun and educationa... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... While I think the Tekton stuff should certainly be on your list, just be aware that their efficiency ratings are (like the DeCapos) probably a little optimistic. I've noticed that their ratings match the ratings of what the manufacturers of the pr... | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck When I saw it, my first thought was that I wondered if Kanye had ever even heard Beck's album. I'd bet that he hadn't. | |
| Zany measurements and theories Good point Mapman,At the minimum, I'd think that we'd be seeing sparks from random specs of dust in the record if there were any heat of significance being generated at the stylus in the groove.I think if one had a thermal camera, they could view ... | |
| Zany measurements and theories All of us who play records, at some point, have seen a little buildup of dust on the stylus while a record plays every now and then. I'm not sure what the combustion temperature is of dust, but I think it'd be safe to say that those grooves aren't... | |
| Rembering the 80s: College Rock Chameleons UK. Yep, I've got a couple of their records. The song "Tears" used to get a lot of AirPlay back in the day and that's how I got exposed to them. |
