| Tube pre-amps with Home Theater bypass... BAT, probably the 50 at those $. | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? Goatwuss- I guess you could say the same thing about Neil Young (can't really sing in conventional terms, but great songs and effective emotional communication). I for one like Baez' and Dylan's singing, but then I am one of those 60s headcases. C... | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? Goatboy- I am having a hard time understanding the difference between your take on B. Dylan "the main appeal of Bob Dylan is what he has to say" and J. Baez "popularity (past and present) stems moreso from her political messages communicated throu... | |
| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? If the no outlet cover suggestion is serious, please be careful. It would be pretty easy to contact hot wires if you use the outlets that attach the house wiring via screws on the sides (as oppossed to push connections at the rear of the receptacle. | |
| How to pack - a primer The problem with peanuts is that they are loose and there is a smaller dense object amongst them. The object (amp, pre, cdp, whatever) will shift and work its way through the peanuts. the idea of using a cardboard floor btwn the peanuts and the in... | |
| Denon DVD-2910 w/DAC Short answer is no; SACD uses a very different data stream from redbook, as does DVD (I think). If you have a 2910, why not have it modified by Exemplar or TRL or APL or Underwood? Pretty darn good units, IMO. | |
| Headphone jack adaptor question. Sfar- Close, but no cigar: that unit has speaker level inputs. The one I am talking about is this one:Reference Tools the unit I had was defective out of the box, but was repaired. ASL in the past had some qa/qc issues, but others have said that t... | |
| possible amplifier power reduction with subwoofers I think that 100 wpc in a smaller room would be plenty, but it depends to some extent on the level you like to listen at. | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro If you are spending $11K, and they are offering you $120 off, that is about 1%. I would take my business elsewhere. | |
| Headphone jack adaptor question. ASL makes a transformer based device called, IIRC, Signature Tools, that takes a line level signal, runs it through a transformer and has headphone jacks. It is about $125, I think. Need to have a pretty high voltage pre-amp to drive it. Or take t... | |
| Only hum/buzz from one channel of TD-126 Help It could be a bad channel on the cartridge, could be a broken lead in the arm/cart wiring. Try swapping the right and left hot leads (at the cart) and see if it moves, then the right and left ground leads. If either causes the bad channel to move,... | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? Based on your music likes, I would suggest a used pair of Vandersteen 2cis for a near full range sound at that price point. Audio Refinement might be a bit polite for them; however, it is a very nice piece for teh current used price. | |
| EASTERN CT. NEED HELP WITH SET UP WILL PAY $$$ Good advice here. There is a small dealer in Willimantic; foget his name but he is a dealer for Exemplar so if you check their web site you can find him. | |
| Noise-cancelling headphones recommendation probably can get all you want by running a search and/or posting at head-fi.org. At that price range, though, I would doubt that you would get much. | |
| Good place to buy/sell used audio I/O cards? Check on the computer forum at head-fi.org |
