| Looking to buy an inexpensive home entertainment center or shelves for gear, CD and LPs Another option is checking out garage sales. The older style HT cabinets were big bucks and well made but are too small for the bigger screens. You might find a smaller one for all your equipment and pick up something else for the big screen. ... | |
| Need Tubes I agree with the Tube Depot, great site, good prices, quality products. They have good, high temperature tube dampers on site, too. They are low cost and it never hurts to squish microphonics in voltage gain stages, even tiny ones. | |
| NAD M10 BluOS problems There are a number of BlueOS problems discussed on this site. I suggest you do a search and see if any of those partial solutions help you. Also, you might just undo the upgrade, as it could be a downgrade. | |
| The Carver Amp Challenge and the 21st Century and it's Failure I wonder if the $400 amp was the same amp that sounded like the $6000 amp? There is no question he is a brilliant engineer but I personally feel uncomfortable buying his stuff. | |
| Complete Integrated Amp Remote There are a bunch of generic remotes available. I even used an app on my Android phone for a remote and that worked very well. Make sure you know what you want to control, as not all generics will do it all. | |
| Cartridge alignment with non slotted headshell? Good question - I'd like an answer to that as well. | |
| Art Dudly has passed away Yes, I saw that and was quite surprised. He wasn't that old either. | |
| Two medium size woofers Vs One big size woofer Well, the first thing you need to do is make sure the smaller drivers move the same amount of air. You can do a coarse guess-estimate by computing the area of the cone using the diameter divided by 2, squaring it, then multiplying by two. A more... | |
| Best Streamer for External USB Dac Check out any of the Bryston units. All three generations are very nice. I've had a lot of problems with BlueSound and WiFi, so I am looking to sell the stuff off. | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. So, is this a bad time for me to reveal my plans to market a vacuum tube based 8 track machine with dubbing from AM radio and optional 12Vdc power supply? | |
| Can speakers be my spirit guides??? Not exactly like you mention, but it is an experience. :-) | |
| In search of a replacement speaker for Beovox S35. Phillips 80650/w4 Have you tried PartsExpress.com ? They have a lot of drivers and should be able to find the equivalent match if not the original. Granted, if you can find an OEM one that would be ideal, but if not, give them a try. I have had great luck with... | |
| Speaker stands brand? I don't recognize them but they do look attractive. However, I prefer stands I can fill with sand or lead shot although these stands do look very good. That is pretty important if you have to please the one who must be pleased. | |
| Windows in a listening room It's hard to say without listening. I can say the very best room I was ever in was a small room but was very, very dead acoustically. Overall, I would lean to highly damped rooms than live ones. | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? @voiceofvinyl & @atmasphere - Nice posts, thanks! I have a few LPs that are dead quiet and one that is dead quiet except for a small scratch that is as loud as a gunshot. You know, it only takes one LP to prove you can have quiet LP's, one... |
