| Scratched discs - what do to? I've had good luck with DiskDocter. Severely scratched CDs are playable again. So far, its rescued everyone I've tried. | |
| Difference between 12AU7 and 12AU7A Iasi- Don't try that sub unless you have a Llano amp, or get an OK from a tube expert. Llano amps have a unique design that allows this to substitution. | |
| Audio newbie seeks system advice Staying w/same line of speakers will usually improve integration of the HT. Speaker cable does matter and Monster Navajo is really at the bottom of the line above zip cord. Fine for the surrounds, but you can do way better for the L,C, & R. A ... | |
| Audiophile pre-amps with home theater pass through BAT pres w/remote have a unity gain feature that allows them to be used is pass-thru mode. | |
| Shure V15VMXR compatible with Scott 299B? Check the input sensitivity on the Scott vs the output of the Shure, but typically, MM carts have a high enough output to drive any phono stage. Its usually just the low output MC carts where there is a potential problem. | |
| How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs? I have lots of fun at it. Not sure I would say "chef" but I love good food, and cooking it is fun if you haven't just finished a 10 hours thrashing through the swamp. Kind of like a chemistry set where you get to eat what you've whipped up. | |
| scratched cds or dvds Don't mean to be contrary, but I have used DiskDoctor effectively to rescue CDs and DVDs that were unplayable due to scratches. They now play just fine. | |
| Recommended loading for Benz Micro Glider L2 Thanks, guys. I assume that the default loading is 47K and I have tried to find specs/info on the Musical Surroundings web site, to no avail. I guess I didn't search hard enough. I think that this pre-amp uses plug in resistors that insert into a ... | |
| Can I/Should I Bridge my power amp? Take this with a grain of salt, since I am not an electrical engineer, but I think you've got it wrong. If you run two speaker in parallel you half the impedence the amp is seeing. Bridging the amp doesn't change the speakers impedence. | |
| Product Upgrades. Worth the Money? Pragmatist- I have upgraded my DNA 0.5 to Rev A+ thru SMc Audio. No question that it is worth the cost and I would consider going the full Rev A gold route when resources allow. Better definition, soundstaging, imaging, deeper, tighter bass. Bette... | |
| dual amp biwire Question? You can do this, it is referred to as horizontal bi-amping. | |
| retubing a VK3i YOu can go as wild as you want with NOS 6922s, all of which are an improvement. I've used Amperex 6922 PQs (nice and not too expensive), Siemens 6922s, Tungsram and Siemens CCas (very nice and due to long life, they can even be used if they are we... | |

| Moscode 600 amp Please run a search on absolute phase, which is what you are talking about, I assume. Polarity is relative, as long as you've got the speakers connected identically, it doesn't matter how they are hooked up (you can connect + to -, as long as you ... | |
| Help with new Dvd Sounds like a mismatch between TV input selected (component, s-video or composite) and DVD output selected. Best choice would be via a component video output from DVD, directly to component video input on TV. You may have to go into the service/se... |
