| VPI Classic Motor Lubrication Dordevic...Perhaps that Magic Lube I mentioned IS lithium grease...I don't know. I use Magic Lube on the bearing of my Superscoutmaster Rim Drive with great results. Use the lighter oil...the damping fluid, or the Mobil 1 on the shaft of the platt... | |
| stepped attenuators The Ayre V1xe has one as well. I believe that the unit was discontinued because it was so complicated and expensive to build. It is hand built with silver contacts, belted, and motorized...very accurate. | |
| VPI Classic Motor Lubrication Get some of VPI's magic lube...it comes in a hypodermic looking injector gizmo. If there is any old crud on the bearing when you remove the platter, get rid of it with a towel. Put just a bit of that magic lube on the tip of the bearing. Put some ... | |
| Revel Salon vs Vandersteen 5A Sure the best thing is to listen to both, but chances are you'll like the Vandersteens better in your home. The dealer will use the many controls in the back to adjust your speaker for your room. Also, because the Vandersteens have their own bass ... | |
| Turntable leveling... Actually leveling with 4 IS much harder than with 3. Three is the most stable...with 4 you must make sure that there is sufficient weight on all 4 "feet" and that none is just hanging. It makes me wonder why manufacturers do 4 feet instead of 3 | |
| Front port vs Rear port ..and then there's the ol" bottom port... | |
| Need recommendations on speaker cables Before you spend a boatload of cash check out the inexpensive ones such as Anti-Cables or Marrow, etc. Oft times, they sound better than the high priced spread. All the inexpensive cable companys have a money back policy... | |
| Intelligability Problem Marty - you did it!! I've been futzing with this thing for about a year....and your simple answer to turn down the other speakers is correct. The sound from the middle seemed fuzzy because the other speakers were just swamping the poor little cent... | |
| Intelligability Problem Thanks Marty....I think you are correct. I tried switching cables, playing a CD (which sounds GREAT). I'll see if I can do that. | |
| I think I am going to attempt to make turntatbles Good for you... I applaud your interest. I would caution you to keep this effort as a hobby, and not expect to make boatloads of dollars from it. I talk from experience. If indeed it turns to gold that others are willing to pay for...so much the b... | |
| Intelligability Problem Thanks for the suggestions. When I put my ear to the center channel, it is working...its just the QUALITY (bad) of that speaker is not good. I will connect the output wires that go into the center channel to one of the towers to see if it is indee... | |
| Intelligability Problem oops...to answer jeffreybehr... 5 channel NHT speakers all. | |
| Intelligability Problem Thanks for the replies. I find that music and background sound is very good indeed. I am letting the BluRay player decode and am using the 5 analogue outputs to the Denon which is in ext. mode...meaning it is acting as 5 separate basic amps with a... | |
| Benz Ace S H or Dyna DV-20x2H I don't agree that lower output equals better sound. Sometimes med. or high output cartridges sound better...a lot depends on the pre you're using. Often, the less the pre has to work, the more quality you can get out of it. | |
| YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison? Jeff1225,,,, boy, it really doesn't sound like you've heard the YG speakers. They are anything but boring and lifeless. They are not My preference because they are so fast and to me too bright. They don't sound like music to me - sort of like when... |
