KONTAK CLEANER Caig, not craig | |
KONTAK CLEANER Craig makes a few different brushes and swabs that are prefect for this task. Also I can’t find the exact name right now but Music Direct sells a little plastic tool that has a male and female RCA molded on each end to scrub both jack. But be care... | |
Audio as a weapon Trelja, it is interesting that you have the same experience. I did find it amazing that sound frequencies can have such an effect on our bodies. But I guess in the grand scheme, sound can take the blame for the hearing loss we all realize with age... | |
Audio as a weapon A few years back at a RMAF There was a company demonstrating a new type of sub woofer which was really a fan blade driven but they could achieve as low as three hertz. The demonstration involved Playing a series of samples of different levels of h... | |
acoustic vertical window blinds I have three windows behind my speakers and a patio door on the opposing wall. Last year I installed Hunter-Douglas Cadence Vertical blinds and I used to have acoustic panels on the walls and have not put them back up. These blinds when you look a... | |
Tube temperature for ARC Ref 6 tattooedtrackman, I may have mislead you some. My temp reading with an infrared thermometer was thru the top cover and not directly on the surface of the tube. So the surface temp maybe higher and I am sure it is. And my highest readings were the ... | |
Tube temperature for ARC Ref 6 I have a REF5se and had this concern when I first purchased the unit. Using an infrared thermometer I can get readings up to 156° which is mostly over the 6550. But in talking to the folks at Active Thermal Management, I was told that the 6550 wou... | |
ARC Ref 6 and Ref 10 opinions , talk, stories, buying options and opinions I own a REF5se as well, but did also hear a REF10. My pocket book made the decision very easy for me. If my ears wrote the check, I would have a REF10. And as bifwayne asked, please share you opinions and experience between the 5 and 6. | |
HT by-pas to utilize a stand alone pre-amp If I understand your question correctly the short answer would be yes. To clarify you want to use a different preamp but utilize the amplifier section of your KWI200? | |
AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT? I think that if your investment divided amongst the components, in a manner where each is in the same relative price range, then your system benefits. Or in other words if you have a preamp and an amp and the CD player or turntable are all in pret... | |
Getting the cartridge weight setting right... Rega RP10 Thanks Liamowen, I have, as mentioned, been experimenting trying to maximize performance. But it can be frustrating as well as enlightening. Appreciate your response. | |
Getting the cartridge weight setting right... Rega RP10 I have an RP10 as well with a Lyra Kleos and have found that’s 1.72 seems to be the best. I bought an Ortofon scale and it has been very consistent. Just curious what do you have you’re table setting on? I have been trying a few things and am want... | |
Getting Gold Plated Knobs Refinished Have you tried contacting the manufactures to see if they offer new replacements of if they can have their plating company do them? I would think that they could help and maybe cheaper if they include them when they send an order to their supplier. | |
My first visit to AXPONA I always enjoy RMAF, but never plan to buy anything but LPs and maybe small items. I could not bring myself to make a major purchase based on 30 minutes in a hotel room. The unfortunate is that a lot of the gear I find desirable at the show are no... | |
AC Power cable for ARC Ref 5 se. I am using a Cardas Clear Beyond with great results. I started with a Clear, but moved up to the Clear Beyond. But you should try the Usedcable.com lending library. For the time being I am using a Running Springs power conditioner which comes with... |
