| I hear the radio..... on my turntable... help Good ole RFI. Do you have a ground wire running from your TT to the ground post on your preamp? Is your TT and preamp located near your windows? Many phono stages, in particular tube phono stages are very susceptable to RFI. This is true especiall... | |
| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Great write-up Joe!Sorry I didn't get up there with you. I was at Lloyd Walker's place on Saturday, and he had Sean and Adam from Zu at his place on Friday night. Was there much in the way of vinyl playback being used in the demo rooms this year? | |
| Opinions on Walker High Definition Links I have the Reference HDLs on my Magnepans. They act to filter RFI, with the result being the elimination of "hash" in the upper frequencies. Treble information is more natural sounding, soundstage width and depth seems greater. I didn't realize be... | |
| Cost of Counterpoint 5.1 Mike Elliott is a brilliant designer but maybe not such a good businessman. I think that was Counterpoint's undoing. The SA 7.1, 5.1, 3.1 preamp series of the mid-80's were simple, reasonably priced and had great phono stages in them. I still have... | |
| Walker prologue amp stands Robertje, While not trying to sound like a parrot, Rushton is correct. Only you can be the judge of whether or not one of Lloyd's products is a good fit in your system. If you try it and it's not for you, you are only out the shipping charges. FWI... | |
| Walker prologue amp stands You might to to email AudiogoN member Rushton. He is using them in his system. They are very similar in construction to the Prologue shelf from Walker Audio, which is under my turntable. | |
| Military Spec Nuclear Shielded Speaker Cable? Joe,That is hilarious! best laugh I've had in a couple of days.. | |
| Help with getting best sound from room Agree with both comments above. Re: cellular shades - this is a very cost effective room treatment. Hunter-Douglas 1" cellular shades lined with aluminum work wonders at ridding the room of the dreaded "glass reflection factor". Could be very help... | |
| Music Hall Maverick, Is it any good I purchased one right after they were out on the market. In the short time I owned it, I never had any issues with it, other than the occasional tray not responding to the open/close command. I did not keep it as I decided digital just wasn't my c... | |
| Review: Supratek Cortese Tube preamp Slowhand,What a great review! My unit is a hybrid Chenin with the Cortese phono stage. My system is analog based so Mick upped the phono section for me.My experience pretty much mirrors yours with respect to tube rolling. I tried some -replacing t... | |
| Humidity question - please try to answer... Hey Gunbei,I loved the Blade Runner reference ;)"If you could see what I have seen through these eyes...." | |
| Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP Agaffer,I know the one you are thinking of. 11 LPs, black cover, green EKG trace going across the front ala DSOTM. That's not the one I was thinking of. I'll look into it some more and see what i can find. | |
| Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP Agaffer,The box set Uppermidfi is referring to contains 10 or so LPs and if I am not mistaken was called "Welcome To The Machine" or something like that. It was released 10 or 15 years ago. The box was black and the front had one of the characters... | |
| Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP The original UK Harvest pressing of "Ummagumma" is recorded very well, both the live disc and the studio disc. I am still playing my copy from 1970 or so. That live performance of "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" was some of my earliest... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Foster,Thanks1 It seems as though a LOT of old friends are coming by again. I have to remind myself to spend some time with my family... but it's only been three days, so they are indulging me a little right now. I do keep going: "OK, just one mor... |
