| 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. | |

| 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... | |
| The Orchestral Organ, Jan Kraybill Awesome! Do you know if is it available in other formats? | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? I really like my old Stax Electrostatic headphones and their amp to drive them. I'll admit I am biased toward them, but it wouldn't hurt you to start your listening / shopping experience with them and move on from there. Do check out headphon... | |
