| Can pandora be improved? My ears agree w Mtruong34. I listen to Pandora quite a bit through my Modwright Transporter. It sounds very nice. Surprisingly good SQ. | |
| PASS and ZYX here is barely enough gain without the PH3 yet using it tends to overdrive the phono section. I don't understand. The PH3SE is a phono stage, no? W/o it, what are you using for RIAA equalization and boosting the signal to line stage input voltage?... | |
| Buzz in my Will Vincent amp Is it a mechanical humm/buzz, not through the speakers? if so, it could be some dc on the power line or it could be that the xformer hold downs need tightening. | |
| Stereo and Fish tanks - noisy need help Its been a long time since I had an aquarium. You can start by asking the fish to be quiet when music is playing ;-) Seriously, you could get rid of the pump noise by running an air line from another room but you might need a more powerful pump to... | |
| Portable DAC Maybe try one of Ray Samuel's units. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I recently have been enjoying Oban. A very nice middle of road malt; not too peaty, not too sweet. I really like it and its not $1k/bottle. Not even a c-note. | |

| Source for tube shopping? +1 for Jim and Tube Depot. | |
| Best DAC for $500 In that price range, the HRT Streamer 2+ (asynch USB in, RCA analog out) works very well for me, & you will have $ left over for better i/cs or speaker wire. There are others that are highly recommended; not sure which have asynch USB input. | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? Danoroo- X as in divorced or X as in buried? | |
| Is the Squeezebox Touch complicated? Visit a Microsoft web site and one might think no one has ever seen one of their program actually work...Oh, do they actually work...I thought that everything MS released was in perpetual beta ;-) Seriously, I have had some issues with using my Lo... | |
| is there a best music player on the computer? Can J Play run under Microsoft HomeServer OS? If not, what recommendation for that OS? It is a dedicated music server so I don't imagine that something that runs in "hibernation mode" would be a problem. Please be gentle on the geek-talk. My IT co... | |
| Von Schweikerts for HT: setup and combination. If you are interested in a v. impressive, rather rare VS sub (VR S/3), pls send me an email msklein52@comcast.net. | |
| Audio stuff I've lost in my own home... You all are just trying to make an ADD wetland scientist and music lover feel good. 'Course I never lost a pair of speakers...yet. Pretty much everything else. |
