| Recorded Cleaning Machnies Thanks, that was most useful! | |
| Recommendations for speakers cable cover. There are some carbon fiber sleeves that work reasonably well for your speaker cables. The carbon really eats up that rf energy. Do a search for them online, several places have them for sale in various sizes. At one time I found some 16awg coa... | |
| ISP and Sound Quality Good idea. I will switch video over this evening and see how it compares. The only thing on either network was the music I was streaming. Desktop was sleeping and the laptop was off. | |
| Tonearms - SME 3012, Jelco, or Schick? BTW, I only have a few mono records. These are from Mom's estate, so mostly big band, 1930's to 1950's jazz. Some are in very good shape, some are not. I thought about a mono cartridge but for the few albums I have, it doesn't make much sense t... | |
| Tonearms - SME 3012, Jelco, or Schick? Thanks for all the information! Very helpful indeed. I will look at all the recommendations. Cartirdges - It will be a moving coil, most likely a Umami Blue or ML, possibly a Dyanvector DV-20X2L or a DRT-XV-1s. No SPU's although having one int... | |
| Adapter question Try this, it appears to be of good quality and it doesn't fake it by using a coax to tie them together: https://www.amazon.com/Devinal-Adapter-Converter-Gold-Plated-Connector/dp/B0BN5NHTRQ/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1V3QWFEYY5I1M&keywords=femal... | |
| Splitting analog signal within speaker crossover's - how harmful? You are correct, bi-amping is the way to go. I have been bi-amping my Big Stereo for decades now, I would not have it any other way. I also agree with tri-amping, although that approach is less common as it is expensive and the improvement is no... | |
| Alpa 300b Mono's information I didn't find anything either after a fairly exhaustive search. You might be on your own here, I hope you have a schematic! You may need it! | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm Well, that is a data point indeed! | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm Yes, two years. Frankly, in all that time, my philosophy has not changed. If it doesn't make any engineering sense to me, then I don't spend the effort to buy it and listen to it. The high end audio world is filled with snake oil and other junk... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... Frankly, if I don't trust their marketing, then I don't trust the company. BTW, you can test cables and correlate to sound quality. What one cannot do is one test that tells you every thing. For example, a cable has an input and an output. ... | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper Sounds to me that the comments are all over the map. It's clear to me there are variables that the DIY's aren't considering and even some that cable companies aren't considering as well. When I was a consultant I evaluated some very expensive cab... | |
| 13.2, 5.1 and so on. "the best seat in the house" Movies are different that music. In the case of movies, the idea is to immerse the viewer into the movie. With Stereophonic reproduction, the idea is to replicate the sound stage in your living room. I don't believe it is the future but I can ... | |
| Anti-skate adjustment off Thorens TD 146 with Schopper wand Either the table is not level or your anti-skate adjustment has failed. I'm not sure I understand - does the problem vanish If you switch back to the MP-110? If it works with the MP-10 and not with the JT-80, then it seems your tonearms set up i... | |
| This Sounds Like A Pretty Good Deal -- Opinions? I don't have any experience with those particular units, but I did have a McIntosh 275 once and I loved every second of the time it was in my house. I'd say if you can live with the power output of 25W stereo, 50W mono, I would jump on it. Remem... |
