| Denon DD Plinthing Beautiful 4yanx!!!!!! Quite a project but if it sounds half as good as it looks, must be outstanding. congratulations. | |
| Using old CD player as a transport You may find that the use of a Monarchy DIP, Genesis Digital Lens, or other de-jitterer is a necessary part of any Transport-DAC equation. | |
| How to ship a Sota Sapphire without original box? W/O orig packing there is a significant likelihood of damage. At the very least you need to remove the arm, the armboard, the lead weights, and lock down the suspension. I would strongly recommend buying a shipping carton and if you don't have one... | |
| Melos SHA Gold - what may be the fix.. The phototentiometer on the Melos was a known problem. | |
| Whats the best record cleaning fluid? Run a search and you will find this has been discussed in detail and of course, there are varying opinions. | |
| Amazingly Close to Krell Sound I can't vouch for Krell-like sound, but if he wants a good ss amp that's quite a bit lighter for $800, I would consider McCormack DNA 0.5, or 1.0. | |
| Industrial Strength Disc Polishing Look for an electric grinding wheel and then get buffing pads. It likely will not require any "rouge", just a lubricant like H2O to keep from "burning" the surface. Maybe a bit of a solvent in it to "dissolve" any sticky stuff. | |

| How to bid on an item great post, Bryan. | |
| HDMI Adapter??? Just used an HDMA-DVI cable yesterday to demo an HD processor. Passed an HD pix just fine. | |
| preamps without volume knob? IIRC, it is actually attenuation that controls volume, while gain adjusts the maximum gain available. | |
| Geometry in audio. Yamaha had an amp back in the 80s I think that was shaped like a square base pyramid. | |
| Berning ZH270 vs 845 SET amp OK, time for a clarification. I said "a bit" flat. Not a lot. These are minor points and I think for most would be overweighed by the characteristics of the rest of the system. I have changed pre-amps, conditioners and cables since I had the Berni... | |
| Berning ZH270 vs 845 SET amp Pfront- tone color or vibrancy pretty good description of what I thought the Berning lacked. In my case, I believe that the Joule amps provide a bigger or richer harmonic envelope and more emotion. They can be considered a bit slower than the Bern... |
