| Excellent Outdoor FM Antennas terrain. Because I spent a number of years selling and servicing audio in a area with limited FM radio classic choices - a LOT of my customers went thru gyrations in a attempt to get WFMT from Chicago.Terrain - most definitely including taller bui... | |
| Which has greatest influence? The end of Bokfudo's post nailed it. During my long since past audio career - it constantly amazed me how often I'd sell some at least decent speakers to a guy and then find out they'd been set up in some absolutely bizarre configuration.I am also... | |
| Rotel RA-1062 AMP and Paradigm Studio 20 v4 Own two pairs of Studio 20's (v2 and v3) - really nice speakers - over the range they handle - very linear - very accurate and more impressively non fatiguing . Not a tough speaker to drive..These speakers are more than good enough to let you buil... | |
| 90db, 7ohm speakers: tube amp recommendations? Quicksilver Monoblocks - they're available used for within your price range. Really wonderful amps - even my relatively ancient KT-88 monoblocks are pretty amazing driving 89db efficient Studio 20's. Word to the wise - always retube used amps -hav... | |

| Looking to get a turntable. Rega's - probably the most consistent and reliable table/arm combo that has ever been made - certainly the Rega and Linn LP-12 are the only models i can think of that have been on the market with minor changes for decades.The Rega's seem to show u... | |
| Rebuilding LP12; which tone arm Vote for RB-300 -only drawback to this arm is having to fool around with arm pillar washers to adjust VTA - if you've beaten that problem -I'd go for it.For me - the two best cartridges I used in it were a Linn Asaka and several different replacea... | |
| Slindie Rabco arm David Shreve was a friend of mine and I was lucky enough to use one of his arms - one of the few older audio products I'm really sorry I no longer have.Anybody know if he's still around (e-mail address? -if so please e-mail it to me - don't post).... | |
| Audio Research D-90 Checked -caps on my D90B were 400uF at 450V - not 400V as I posted above. | |
| Audio Research D-90 Yup -they're twistlocks. Another thing to look at is what color are the caps - if blue - they are probably CDE's - these are a known problem with this era ARC - they probably aren't blue simply because the odds are they would have failed if CDE's ... | |
| Audio Research D-90 Relay had crudy contacts 0n mine - burnished contacts,Cramolined and ordered a new one - which I plan to leave taped to my chassis to remind myself that this is something to replace next time I have the covers off ( which i hope is a year or two).... | |
| Audio Research D-90 1.) There are three versions of the D-90 : 90 ,90A and 90B.The obvious differences are power tubes ( 6550 in original and a, 6L6GC in b) and power output 90 in original and a ,80 in the b.Don't know if there are differences in the smaller inverter... | |
| Cartridge shelf life? Morning update - installed Grado Prestige Blue 1 - very nice - tracks way better than the Grado's I used to sell and install by the thousands decades ago. Always got a absolute charge out of these cartridges - simply amazing amount of music relea... | |
| Cartridge shelf life? Photon - your advice made sense.Very pleased with the test.Blue point and RB-300 were ready to go. Had to find the new belt I purchased some years ago for the LP-12 - cleaned bearing out and reloaded oil - yah -some surface noise - but really not ... | |
| Cartridge shelf life? Basicaly , over the years ,basements - cool - not terribly humid. |
