New LP with pops + crackle, What is expected?
It is so frustrating to pay twice the price of a cd for an album and have as much surface noise as a $4.00 used LP.But the downside, for the dealers, is that they eat it. The record distributer and pressing company retain their profits and let the... 
Preamp to Run Revel F52s & C52s
Theater pass thru is a circuit the takes the 2 front channels out of the pre-pro and directs them to the amp.This allows you to have a stereo pre amp and have your 2 channel sources utilize a 2 channel sytem. In my case I have a 2 channel amp so 5... 
Help: Records too big for the VPI 16.5
One thought now that MoFi has brought it up. Is it possible those 4 holes are drilled off center and is it possible to rotate the plate and refasten it. It may be aexcentric position from the center to the edge. It doesn't sound like you are that ... 
Help: Records too big for the VPI 16.5
If I understand you correctly, you are stating that the larger disc that the spring pushes against from beneath is actually contactimg the edge of the LP? Are you sure you have a genuine VPI wand. Although I have never seen anyone else make on wit... 
Marantz reliability?
Although I have never owned a Marantz Receiver I have owned a few DVD-Universal players and a tuner and had no problems what so ever with them. I have used and still use their universal remotes and love them.I found Marantz to have excellent servi... 
Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP
The one topic I have not seen discussed here is the circuit that this one plug/outlet is on. What else does it power? Is it possible to dedicate it and make it a 20amp circuit. I think I would make my first investment there. An electricion can tel... 
Preamp to Run Revel F52s & C52s
I have the F32's and C32 and run mine with a McIntosh MX135 in theatre mode and when I am listening to 2 channel I am using an Audio Research LS26. I get a very good detailed sound out of both. I did gain a good step forward by adding the seperate... 
Linn Abandons CD Players
I agree I would rather have a tangeble product in my hands. I am sure downloads will be better in resolution, but then you run a risk of hard drive failure. I guess that you can have a back up, but I would rather go to my shelf and pick out an LP ... 
LP12 suspension susceptible to acoustic feedback
If you have a concrete floor than you don't need a wall shelf. Just the a good solid stand will do. But I would tie the elephant up out back when playing records as mine used to want to dance and he might bump the TT stand.It was sad when he died.... 
When's Delicate Sound Of Thunder coming out on DVD
I have been waiting for this as well. Hopefully some one will know the answer. Also anyone know if there will be anymore SACD releases. I had heard when the 30yr DSOTHM was released the Wish You Were Here was slated to be out as a 5.1 SACD. By the... 
LP12 suspension susceptible to acoustic feedback
Sounds like you have too much under the TT. I use Aurios under my LP12 and get great results. I have on a cabinet that is braced to the wall behind it to control any lateral movement. And with the Aurios under a single shelf that the TT sets on I ... 
Loose driver mounting screws on Velodyne HGS-18
I find that once I discover a loose screww I remove it completely. Then I injects a small (very small) amountof glue and replace the screw. I tighten it as much as it will require and I never have had one loosen up again.The reason you want to use... 
Where to place Aurios 1.2?
I had 3 Aurios placed under my P25. I just set each of the three feet on top of the Aurio. 
odd number of channels
To answer your last question first, I would say the yellow is equivilant impedance of the red and white of that set.But I would match the ctr and rears with the same cable you use on the fronts, if at all possible. If not at the very least try to ... 
Do denon dv-2900's have a hi-temp problem?
I have a 5910ci and I moved to another shelf to give it more room to breathe. It is the hottest component I have in my system. Hotter than my MX135 pre-pro or 402 amp.Sometimes I wonder if I will open the drawer and need a spatula to get the disc ...
