| question for nautilus 801 owners Three points.1. I have made a lot of changes in my vinyl playback chain since getting the N801s, and each change has been starkly revealed. The most recent is the Walker Reference Phono Amp, Second Edition, and this has opened up and "naturalized"... | |
| Electrostat panel problem......... First, have you isolated/identified the problem component? To do this, switch the left and right channel speaker wires at the amp end (one end only, not at both the amp and speaker ends). If the problem stays with the same speaker, then the speake... | |
| Have NAD 3150, where can i get info on specs? 50 RMS wpc @8 ohms continuous, 100 wpc IHF on peaks. Dunno if I'd call it groovy, but my mother uses one to drive her Vandersteen 2A's. The turn-on delay relay has burned up (has been removed) and the spring clip speaker wire connectors are crappy... | |
| Optical Retrieval from "Touchy-Feely" Vinyl Why not synchronize tachyon pulses and create an anti-time vortex? Knock yourself out. | |
| Optical Retrieval from "Touchy-Feely" Vinyl You underestimate the buzz created by your invention. I Google'd "ELP + turntable" and got 28,000 hits. | |
| Optical Retrieval from "Touchy-Feely" Vinyl Where have YOU been for the last 15 years? Ever hear of the ELP laser turntable? | |
| got my tube pre-amp running, just one problem Here's a test to clarify this. Plug your CD player into a non-direct input first. Play a CD track that is dynamically/compressed (most pop music will do, e.g., Sugar Ray's version of "Abracadabra" has only 3 dB of dynamic range) and set the volume... | |
| got my tube pre-amp running, just one problem You might not want to buy NOS tubes until you check the bypass/direct input signal path. Some preamps with a bypass/direct input act as passive controllers in that mode, bypassing all active amplification circuitry. If the SFL-1 does this, you won... | |
| cause, solution, ideas please... >>will adding mass to the table while playing (I have 2 marble triangle nick-nack peices) that I can put on while playing, will this have any sonic benefit?<<Why ask if you are the only one with your particular setup conditions? None o... | |
| electrosats "toed out"? Probably worth trying, but I'd try toeing them in to cross in front of the listener first. This is recommended by Brian Cheney and John Dunlavy to increase the size of the sweet spot by increasing interaural crosstalk. Either way, too much tilt in... | |
| Most beautifull turntables today.... Brian, I can pimp your Sound Labs by adding neon running lights around them, and you can also attach LCD displays and cameras to them so you can let the "haters" know what you look like enjoying your music and looking at yourself looking at the sp... | |
| Most beautifull turntables today.... The stock Walker isn't all THAT beautiful (I own one). But I replaced the black silk belt with one made from a colorful novelty tie and now I have images of hula dancers whipping around that big, black lead platter. Now THAT's PIMPIN'!Fmpnd, if yo... | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? My history of abuse:Blew both woofers on a pair of Rogers LS3/5A's with a Quatre 250C.Blew both woofers on a pair of Vandersteen IIA's with a pair of PS Audio IIc bridged monoblocks.Blew a friend's AR-3A midrange with a Sansui AU-11000.Cooked both... | |
| Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad? Did you actually play music through the preamp for 100 hours, or did you just leave it on for that period without signal. Coupling caps in preamps need to be broken in with a signal. The performance of tube preamps can be undone with brand new cou... | |
| Popping when source is switched or muted HUH???? If you heard the same pop, but at a lower volume when you used your AR-9's, the level is now louder because the Eros ESL panels are 6-10 dB more efficient. The pop may be intrinsic to your Rotel processor. Be thankful you aren't using ALE or Goto ... |
