| 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... | |
| Mcintosh MCD-12000 It's a McIntosh, so it is well built, well supported, and rock solid. Those are givens, whether it is worth $12,000 to your system in terms of sound quality is something only you and your wallet can decide. | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? What I find frustrating about the magazines is how the reviewers literately are "gushing with superlatives" about the outrageously expensive cables and go on and on about how wonderful they are. Then they discuss an amplifier or speakers and the... | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper I use solid core for internal chassis wiring and stranded for everything outside the chassis. I do a lot of DIY stuff, so that makes sense to me. | |
| I need some help with power in my home! Gosh, I forgot about aluminum wiring. If you have it, you definitely need an electrician to bring the connections up to code. The issue is AL with 120VAC circuits. The 240VAC circuits are okay for AL due to the way they terminate. I rented a ... | |
| Kenwood KT-5020 Remote Control options Does it have to be a Kenwood? Most remotes have fairly generic bit patterns. |
