| Finding inert filler, for speaker stands go with the 'lead like' shot. i use the real lead in sealed stands and nothing works as well. Copper BB's is an interesting comment, but given its chemical number it is less then half the weight of lead. | |
| Second failure of new amplifier Quickly ditch the unit back to the dealer for a fully 100% refund and stay away from the brand. Make it a dealer problem. Move on, quickly. | |
| Integrated Tube Amplifier for First Timer? cayin is the way to go. great sound, excellent construction, top value and very dependable. The other platforms that use the same chassis, do not sound the same as their design is slightly difference. If you have horns, the t50 is more then enough... | |
| Help What Say You - Amp choices Get the dealer to give you the unit as a loaner, with your giving him security. Until you put it in your 'chain', it is a chap shoot. SS should rule below 100Hz, otherwise it is tubes. | |
| Is there a tube based 5.1 preamp on the market? Better to go mono block or three separate units, then your choice for tube amps expands greatly. | |
| which external hard disc for music storage? The larger the drive, greater is the chance of disaster. I think anything over 500G/7200rpm is risky. Better to start an array, in a cabinet that can support at least eight drives. These cabinets are not that expensive and you can add drives as yo... | |
| Question--which interconnect better Try Sonic Link cables. This outfit mostly sells DAC units, with great reviews, and their cables meet that high standard. At $30 for a 2 meter pair you cannot go wrong. Don't buy Kimber till you try their cables. I own six pairs and they beat some ... | |
| Budget amps. Look into the Behringer 500 units. Plenty of power, good value. | |
| Is turntable == phono stage == cartridge right? If your Scout has the 10.5 arm, outer ring, super platter, SDS then you have exhausted it possibilities. Once all the latter is in place, then change the cartridge. If that does do it, you need to move up to a walker, assuming a small inheritance ... | |

| move to multi-channel audio-only There are some great jazz 5.1 sacd's. Best to hear the Miles/Blue hybrid. It duplicates the original mono, three channel source material, no mixing. Hear the 'real thing'. I have red book cd's of Blue, together with original vinyl, sacd sounds bes... | |
| Comparing VPI Scoutmaster to Pro-ject RM10 Don't under estimate the effect that the VPI ring produces, which is not available on the Pro-ject. If you have the clear platter, think about doing the patter upgrade. The 'frosty' stuff is a disaster, consensus of the high end community. I think... | |
| Miles Davis "Sketches Of Spain" love to have it, so please send. | |
| Advice needed building a system over time??? Room treatments. Tweaked to make the sound 'best with current equipment'. Then start equipment changes. | |
| Reel 2 Reel I have two sony's, one the TC-580 is used all the time with pre-recorded tapes. It has an autoreverse that automatically senses the end of one side and does the reverse. Many of the r2r tiles I have, I also have the vinyl and cd versions. R2R, doe... |
