| Turntable dealer/set up percon I set it up myself... I think few pros will take the time and care necessary to do a proper setup. | |
| A Surge Suppressor Story I had a whole house surge protector installed in the main box after a spike took out a Vandersteen amp.....reasonable repair cost and now I'm sleeping well. | |
| **The Official/UnOfficial Audiogon Head-Fi System Thread** I'm using a hi res Sony Walkman...just got Grado GR10E earbuds for it. The sound is absolutely exquisite. My "big" system cost about 70 or 80 thousand dollars.....why oh why did I do that..... | |
| Long XLR cables - help me decide Jaytor.....I'm using Neotech as power cables with the top Furutech ends. Very satisfied. | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. You should ask the manufacturer for the original packing material. They spent lots of research with pros to design the right boxes. | |
| Long XLR cables - help me decide Im using long XLR interconnects as well.....tried a few......they all sound pretty much the same. That's the joy of differentially balanced circuits. | |
| Help - Scroeder CB-9" tonearm - anti-skating setting issue recheck all your adjustments. My arm tracks any record with/without any a/skate...or anything in between. | |
| Integrated amp choice. Ayre AX5 Twenty vs Mark Levinson 585 never heard the AX5.....but I've had an all Ayre system for years....never a problem. | |
| Bluetooth Buds? Tomorrow, my new Grado buds should be delivered....will let you know. | |
| AT-ART9 cartridge on Marantz TT-15s1 - I don't think I'm getting the performance I should I will tell you, the issue is not with anti-skate...even if adjusted poorly, the cartridge should sing. | |
| Headphones are cutting in and out. Trying to determine if it is the cable or the cans? while listening, make small s-turns in the cable to fine the short. | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws I suspect Vandersteen et al would substitute their black metal screws with brass if the sound could be improved | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Different kinds of noise.....turntables provide speed variation, mechanical noise, etc. Cartridge provides variation in frequency response, clarity, etc. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? I'm using AudioPoint brass cones......pleased with the results. Just a reminder....they all sound different....experimentaion is really needed to find the right results for you. | |
| Direction on my next upgrade ....or .....get really good earphones and a dedicated amp.....you'll get much greater result for far less money |
