| Review: Purist Dominus Interconnect Nate, nice writing. You conveyed your dilemma quite well. If you are anything like me, you may as well get the Dominus, because you'll have no rest until you do. This is why I never audition anything on my system without the money to buy it(or the... | |
| Outdoor antenna setup Several things come into play when installing an outdoor antenna. First, you want it high. Second, you want it where is is not going to get reflected signals, causing multi-path distortion. The peak of your roof is a good place on the roof, becaus... | |
| MMF 7 or VPI MK 2 w/ RB600 I would tend to go with the VPI myself, due to the upgrade capability. The MMF-7 is a good table, but I like the ability to upgrade, and the VPI lends itself to this much better. The RB600 arm is good, and can be upgraded, also, with the excellent... | |
| Which cartridge for LP12/AKITO II/LINGO/Cirkus ? Not enough info. We need to know if your preamp will take MM or MC. We also need to know how much you want to spend. | |
| Speakers for stargates? I can truthfully say that I have never turned myself down, when I asked myself out for a drink. Answering my own questions is also one of my favorite pastimes. Very rarely do I get upset with myself for asking myself a foolish question, and I alwa... | |
| MMF-7 or MMF-5 Music Hall consideration? They are both pretty good TTs. They will be somewhere between your old Planar 2 and your TNT. They are good value for the money. If you consider a used TT, that would open up the field a little more. Take a look at the Well-Tempered TT line-up, too. | |
| The death of an amplifier Nate, no they are really not preventable, but keeping the heat low will help. You can quite often tell if a cap is going bad by some sonic indications, but it is possible that a cap won't fail first. It may be a resistor, or output transistor or a... | |
| The best way to design an audio system. Nice stuff, guys. Teach our new people the stuff you've learned, and help them understand. Keep going! This is for them. | |
| Not too early to consider CES Albert, I'd love to go and meet everyone, but there is just no way I can do it this year. | |
| Looking for info:Dunlap Clarke Dreadnaught 1000 I searched the web, and found a reference to a person who says he has printed materials like owners manuals etc. on this amp. You could try emailing him and see if he has something on it. His email address is: mgasman@tiac.net | |
| Which cartridge for revolver rebel How about the Goldring 1006 or 1012? Same price range. Excellent performance for the money. 1006 is under $100. And the 1012 is not much more and you get a Gyger stylus. | |
| Here's a fun cable question............... I would buy all of the cables from Radio Shack. Even the one he would pay for. I would buy some spools of their magnet wire, and make my own cables to my specification, just like I have already done on my current system. If I had to buy the RCA pl... | |
| DIY turntable: where to start? And meanwhile.... Yep, I think we're pretty much alone in here.The P25 is a nice table and the 600 is a good arm. It is not quite as mod-friendly as the 250, because the modded 250 will exceed the modded 600. The 600 can be considered better in some areas like bear... | |
| Need help with tubes for AES AE-3 In my experiences with 6SN7, the Sylvanias were always the best sounding. The older the better. WGT, VT-231, GT, GTA, are the better ones, GTB had 4 versions with the oldest being the best. Some call them Chrome Domes. I am running brown base WGT ... | |
| Have I finally lost my mind? It may not affect the balance of the disc, but it could definitely have some effect on the "spurious" reflections happening in the transport well. There have been numerous articles written, and tweaks created to reduce these "spurious" reflections... |
