| Will this stuff ruin my records? The only way you will know for sure is to try it on a less desirable record. The better it sounds after cleaning, the better the solution. I can only think the VPI will improve its performance, not hinder it. | |
| Cartridge question If there was a problem with your headshell, you wouldn't be asking this question! I'd skip the replacement unless you know there is a problem with it. | |
| Shipping Magnepan 3.7i I did some years back. They are big enough to require truck freight. Do make sure you get in writing how long the trip will take, Yellow Freight took 7 months to ship them back from Maggie to CA but only two weeks to get to Maggie. Do box them ... | |
| IC cable to address RF coming from nearby FM station Here are some suggestions for cable clamp ferrites. You can get them mail order from DigiKey, they are cheap really. Note the lossy impedance ratings, so the one that is slightly more expensive is somewhat better if you buy just one. That ratin... | |
| IC cable to address RF coming from nearby FM station @converge Hi there - Yes, I had a ugly situation from my neighbor who had a very illegal CB radio with a high power transmitter. It was bleed into my stereo to the point I could hear the conversation. Through process of elimination, I fixed it ... | |
| what you think about gryphon atlantis -- i am not surprise at all anyone one with me? I am not familiar with that speaker, but maybe it was defective. Big speakers usually don't have a problem with bass if they are designed properly. Likewise with the treble. | |
| Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation @blue_collar_audio_guy I would pay attention to what carlsbad posted. As an engineer, I can tell you that what he stated here is spot on correct. From what you wrote, you are not isolating, you are coupling in a significant manner. Look at ... | |
| Headphone amp and dac advice needed I don't have an answer for you but I do suggest you keep it light so you can take it home with you every night. One of the great mysteries of the universe is how good quality audio gear, when left alone, can grow legs and wander about the planet,... | |
| Are the Paradigm Founders 100F a big upgrade over 85F's I am not familiar with that model but I do have several pairs of various Paradigm speakers in my home theater and they do offer very good and musical sound for a price lower than expected . I would definitely do a good listen to them. | |
| Things I don‘t know Let me see if I can answer some of your questions - 1. Polarity - It has to be in software, reversing it in hardware means all your ones become zeros and zeros become ones. This isn't analog! Conceivably, a bit stream could be designed for tha... | |
| Multi-Zone Amplifier Well, I don't have one I have used so I can't recommend one from that perspective. The one two I do have are home brews. You can look at these and get an idea of what is out there. Remember, switching is post amplifier, so they are always pass... | |
| Multi-Zone Amplifier Why not simply get a speaker selector switch that can handle two or three zones? That gives you the flexibility of choosing any amplifier, regardless of it supporting two zones. That is all a two zone amplifier is, a switch on the output that c... | |
| EAR 890 monoblocks versus CJ ART300 monos I am not familiar with EAR but I do have all CJ electronics in my system and I am continually satisfied with the electronics, even though a number of SS gear seems to appear every now and then. Frankly, it would take a lot for me to give up the P... | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options I don't have any experience with either one but that Amazon one is the one I would try. Certainly, given the insane pricing in the world of speaker cables, it is cheap enough to give it a try and see what you think. I might just do that myself,... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers Vs. Horn/component Tweeter Electrostatics can go bad, and yes, you can blow them up, too. They can 'arc" between the panels, which sounds kinda like a gunshot or they can have other issues, all of which degrade the sound. Depending on the failure, you may have to replace... |
