| www.high-endaudio.com & Arthur Salvatore I have read his entire website more than once, and while I cannot say that I agree with everything he says, I have 2 products which he rates, and I agree with his ratings of those 2 products. MFA Magus and Denon DL103. Both were mentioned as havin... | |
| Raising Speakers I would like to recommend a slightly different method for you. If you raise just the front of the speaker very slightly, so as to create a small backward tilt, the drivers will be angled to aim at your ears with very little elevation. Usually, a s... | |
| Review: David Berning Co MicroZOTL Tube amp Nrchy. Yes, Nate, I am driving the Lowther Voigt Pipe single-driver speakers with this amp. They are good for 100db max SPL on peaks with this amp. | |
| Rules on Review... No, there's no rule like that. It's just that everybody likes their equipment, so they say it is the best stuff around. Just natural I guess. There has been alot of talk about the reviews. I don't know how it will pan out. I suppose we'll just wai... | |
| DIY turntable: where to start? And meanwhile.... Thanks for the kind words.If you want to do a 2 stage thing, then I would reiterate my feelings from the AR post. Get a Rega Planar 2/RB250. Then get used to how to set up a cartridge, and deal with analog equipment. When you decide to move up to ... | |
| Review: David Berning Co MicroZOTL Tube amp Ohlala, perhaps I was overcome a bit with the positive qualities of the MicroZOTL, and didn't mention any negatives. It is push-pull, so it doesn't have the ultimate midrange purity of some of the great single-ended designs. But it is really good ... | |
| Secure packaging tips for LP's. Use a sheet of corrugated cardboard on both sides of the LP, that is larger in dimensions than the LP, so edge and corner damage is minimized. To eliminate bending or folding, the free wooden paint stirrers from the hardware store, make excellent ... | |
| Stones on SACD - Tempting? I think that this is a response to the cry for more popular music on SACD. I think the Stones will pull in more people for SACD. I am not really a Stones fan, so it doesn't do much for me. If they put out a "BEST OF" album, I might get that one. | |
| Multichannel SACD, new category? Pbb, I think that your suggestion is a good one. No need to limit it to SACD though, as it could include DVD-A multi-channel, and any other multi-channel issues that may be of interest. I don't think this conflicts with HT, as there is not necessa... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? That's right. So the deputy did get shot. Perhaps the Sheriff shot the deputy, and tried to frame Eric Clapton for it. Then Eric Clapton shot the Sheriff for framing him for the deputy's murder. Clapton still had to take the rap anyway, but he fel... | |
| The death of an amplifier Okay Nate, I will answer your question. If you do not kill the amp by shorting the speaker leads, running too-low impedances,(or pressure washing it), and it is left to its own demise, the capacitors will generally be the first thing to break down... | |
| Listening Levels I think that many times there is the urge to play your favorite music at higher volume than normal. It seems that when you hear a song that really hits you, you want "more" of it, so you make it louder. I think that this is a fairly widespread and... | |
| Design an entire system for $800? ? So let me get this straight. He is too cheap to buy good equipment. He is too busy to look for a good deal in used stuff. So he doesn't have the time or money to spend with his audio gear. Why does he want a stereo? Have him buy a Bose Wave Radio/... | |
| help on balanced control. Try cleaning your volume control pots. Sometimes dust can get in there and cause problems like that. Also, switch your Interconnect connections at the preamp from right channel to left channel, and see if the symptom changes sides. If it does, it ... | |
| DIY turntable: where to start? And meanwhile.... Hi Phoenixpizza. The only thing that is really DIY about the Teres is polishing the base and armboard. Everything else is actually just assembly of the platter and spindle. Oh, and you have to drill the armboard for the arm, but I think Chris will... |
