| Post-Katrina salvage of audio gear and software just turn things on and wait for the big puffOog. Maybe that isn't such a good idea.A competent audio technician will power up your gear using a variac, which raises voltage slowly. At the first sign of anything wrong ("What's that smell ?") the t... | |
| Triangle Titus 202 Opinions? Boy, Beheme, you use a pretty broad brush here.Tellig was tipsy and under the Gallic charm of the manufacturer, you say? The speakers are hi fidelity over part of their range, sort of like a rotten egg which has good bits in it? And what's wrong w... | |
| Post-Katrina salvage of audio gear and software I'm afraid you're probably right about the loss, but only you know where and how the gear was stored and how vulnerable to 10 feet of water that is.I deeply commiserate with you. We went through a fire in the last six months, with smoke and water ... | |
| Troika Troubles Message boojiking ( Mike Soares ) who is a Linn expert. He had a phono stage for sale this morning in your range. He'll tell you if it'll work with a Troika, and he might point you at an alternative if his is sold or not up your street. Good luck ! | |
| Triangle Titus 202 Opinions? Like you, I would be interested in hearing the Arro's first on my list. They look good, go great near a wall, don't need a stand, and they put up a nice soundstage. I remember they did strings and voices well and I certainly don't remember any agg... | |
| whats the biggest mistake you made? I guess it was selling my Shanling CD-S100 MkII. A h**l of a player for the money, overbuilt in many ways. I was short of cash that month, no better reason--except that I thought I didn't deserve to have three sources I liked listening to.I liked ... | |
| Triangle Titus 202 Opinions? When I listened to Tituses they were hooked up to a NAD C320 BEE ( first session ) and to Copland tube electronics for the second listen. Needless to say the Coplands made the Tituses sound best. The NAD was surprisingly good, but in a way differe... | |
| New Member - please help me build a rig Pepe, my heart goes out to you and all those who have been affected by this terrible storm and its aftermath. I hope you are soon able to think again about an audio system. | |
| Best Classical Music for Sonus Faber Stradivari Some labels which are not specifically audiophile but which I have often found to be well-recorded: Pierre Verany, Harmonia Mundi, Hyperion and Analekta. Great music, great performances to be found here. Try Analekta's Handel arias sung by Karina ... | |
| This may be a rhetorical ? but I noticed the room's effect more each time I upgraded, and the Shearwaters' arrival was no exception. My room is our living room, roughly 13 by 22, and I realize I will have to start treating its acoustics seriously in order to get the best of wha... | |
| Need a CD player to match Ivyinvestor, I think you understand what folks say quite well. The original Planet, to my ears, was just as you say. It sounded good to me. I thought this sonic style was actually a (good) choice by Rega, since players of that vintage so often had... | |
| Realy Stupid Question- how do you pronounce Teres? Thanks for calling Mr. Brady, Creeper. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Boy o boy, Pat, after reading this I feel like I've been on the unofficial San Francisco Audio Club members' rally with you myself. Thanks for posting it--the fun you had comes across in spades. And thanks all you guys for showing Pat and Barb suc... | |
| Realy Stupid Question- how do you pronounce Teres? OK then Marco. Teres is pronounced like "Teresa" without the "a", since that's how my old Latin teacher would have said it. Thanks, I can go to bed now. My dictionaries are still in storage after the fire. Give her a kiss for us. | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 Question If I understand correctly, the deck is flipping the cassette before it has reached the end.I would hazard a guess that there is a mechanism which reacts to the resistance of the tape as it is pulled off the supply wheel by the transport. When the ... |
