| lp grunge I find that the best cleaning method is steaming. It gets off everything including peanut butter and jelly. | |
| Balanced to RCA interconnect--is it beneficial? no benefit | |
| CONUNDRUM Handyman...I don't believe you are correct when assuming that the output can not be reduced without sacrifice. Call Audio Research, and I am quite positive that by substituting a resistor, (an easy procedure...but you need the right kind and value... | |
| Tannoy Kensington Se vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M I agree with Jallen.... Listen to both, but Sonus for me does touch base with what music is all about. I don't think they are the last word in any single parameter...but somehow they do touch my musical sense. | |
| does a stylus retip makea cartridge as good as new ..not necessarily so.... A retip is only the replacement of the "needle"....often, the suspension needs to be replaced. I believe soundsmith can do suspension repairs, however, they don't use original parts. The stylus may be of different material... | |
| Snapped off my cantilever Soundsmith will do a great job, but the cartridge you get back is not going to be the same. If you like your cartridge as well as you say you do, have Clearaudio repair it. | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth Why limit yourself...check out all speakers if indeed you are committed to buying something new. I like Maggies and Vandersteens which I would recommend you put on your listening list, however, I would listen to them all if I were you. | |
| DiMarzio cables I have Dimarzio balanced XLR cables and find them excellent. I caution all to audition all cables in your own system, because all cables sound different in different systems. | |
| How sensitive is the B&W Nautilus Midrange? I had 802's and 3 mids failed....I didn't play them loud, and my amps are high powered and don't clip...especially at those levels. B&W replaced them without question..however, it was a pain in the behind...and I was always questioning the spe... | |
| DiMarzio cables Yes...Dimarzio makes very good stuff, however, as I always have said.......you have to hear cables in YOUR system to see if it does the job you want it to do. All cables sound different in different systems. | |
| Vandersteen 2ce The terminals are the old fashioned small spades....Richard says they are the best sounding he's found. | |
| Can the output of an ARC PH-7 be turned down? I would get Audio Research's take on it.. | |
| Benz cartridge phase? Only if you wire them wrong at the headshell | |
| 4 ohm or 8 ohm tap The answer to that is that your speaker is not 6 ohms. No speaker is 4, 5, 6, 8, or 10 ohms. That number is the AVERAGE impedance of the speaker using a non-standardized test. Listen to the speaker both ways and enjoy the best way. You cannot dama... | |
| Details for bi-amping I am concerned that unless you have 4 exact amps, and 2 exact stereo preamps, the sound may be difficult to meld inaudibly.Its not just a matter of gain matching at a particular frequency, but to track all the sound at any frequency exactly right.... |
