| How important is the rack you use for your components @prof Thank you. There are so few of us ...By way of returning the favour, consider shelving made of Panzerholz ('tankwood' in German; a composite of beech veneer and elastomer), or some acetal copolymers, which are notably lossy transmitters of e... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations, please. Turntable upgrade is always a good idea. You get less noise and more music. I suggest that you listen until you hear the magic, and buy that item, not one 'just like it', but that exact item. The reason is that, not only are there manufacturing di... | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel @noromance If you can’t solve your problems with breaker assignments, etc., for whatever reason, consider an isolation transformer. The added benefit is over-voltage protection from an electrical disturbance such as a lightening strike or a transf... | |
| How to pick a COMPATIBLE phono cartridge Consider a step up transformer, which allows you to choose a low output cartridge. The thing about sut's is that they don't wear out - you buy them once, for life. That makes them a very cost-effective purchase.Building a pair of sut's is dead eas... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert "The Late LvB Quartets " by the Yale Qt. Damned right. $214 may seem like a lot to those who don’t know the music or the performance, though.@sfseay Atheists enjoy religious music too. Some of my favourite music is directly religious in ... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 As usual, Ralph (Atmosphere) nailed it. As you would expect from a legendary designer and manufacturer of AMPLIFIERS. | |
| Set me straight, don't pull punches Good news! Glad I could help a little. | |
| Set me straight, don't pull punches Loud buzzing might indicate a ground loop. This is easily solved by an isolation transformer. Prices range from $20 to hundreds. I suggest the same ones I use for digital inputs, made for car audio, which cost $20 for 2 channels: 1st Source GL-100... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert You are so right to remind us that music did not begin with Bach. Great recommendations. As for the Elizabethan school, may I suggest the Clerkes of Oxenford for Tallis, and Byrd on glorious vinyl by L'Oiseau-Lyre.Going back even further... | |
| Live show audience noise Depends.An intrinsic element to Gieseking’s 1944 Emperor is the anti-aircraft cannon in the background. This makes perfect sense of the phrase of rambling chaos up and down the keyboard, of what happens when the emperor gets lost - people die. As ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @scott_w Well, you are starting at a very good place. I know of only one performance on vinyl, soundtrack to the movie, "Police". Do you know of any others?You might also like "Hearing Solar Winds" by David Hykes and the New Harmonic Choir (Ocora)... | |
| Newbie here with a cable question Randy is right.Cables return the least bang for the buck, IMO. So I spend money anywhere but on cables. Star quad is a good configuration of cable, and ETI or Klee connectors give you solid connections (and better than just about anything in or on... | |
| Somehow I've got myself a "WTF" dilema with my newly setup Turntable. HELP! Silly suggestion, but I assume that you've checked the balance control, if there is one ... | |
| CleanerVinyl-Ultrasonic record cleaner Yes, US cleaning is far superior. I use a German Elmasonic machine and thrice-filtered running water rinse, and a distilled water bath. Air dry. | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi Neon, I suggest a call to K&K. Very knowledgeable, very helpful. They directed me to the silver Lundahl, and I couldn't be happier with the choice. |
