| Need Help AR XA Turntable Rega RB250. After a little while when he can afford to, get the OL mods for it. Look into the Merrill mods for the AR turntable. They are inexpensive and do help. | |
| Turntable problem question You didn't tell us exactly where it broke. If it is just the plastic knob, then you can just replace that(assuming the knob is available separately). If the shaft broke off, or the switch came apart internally, then you need a new switch, and this... | |
| Is it possible for something to be the best? Yes, it is possible for a component to be the "best".The problem is that "best" is a subjective term. In terms of absolute audio quality, the "best" is generally related to the "best" that the listener has previously heard. A person that has only ... | |
| Lowther Voigt Pipes are up and running Thanks, Tom, it sounds like you have a D'Appolito driver arrangement and you are loading the top woofer off of the ceiling. This can balance the top and bottom woofers because the bottom one has floor loading. In my situation, I have a vaulted cei... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Denon DL103 cartridge. Best $200 cartridge ever made. | |
| Teres Turntable / Portland Aaird, I agree, and I spent the money I saved by buying the basic Teres, on the arm and cart. Of course, we would all like to be "cost no object" buyers, but ultimately we make some decisions based on the amount we have to spend. I decided that th... | |
| Static from Aesthetix phono stage when tt not on Bill, it seems to me like it is a leaky cap, possibly in the power supply of the IO. I don't know the layout of the IO, but since it has dual power supplies, can you switch the left power supply module to the right and see if the noise changes to ... | |
| 20th Century Composers George Gershwin, Rogers/Hammerstein, Lennon/McCartney Honorable mention to Cole Porter, Ira Cohen(for his Frank Sinatra work), Bob Dylan, Elmore James | |
| Lowther Voigt Pipes are up and running Ultrakaz, I used Mar-Hyde rubberized auto undercoat that remains flexible, on the outsides of the MDF sections of the pipes. The lower part of the insides were partially lined with self-stick felt from the crafts section in Wal Mart. As far as res... | |
| What pets hang out with Audiophiles? Champion Rottweiler named Magnum. He is so tough that he likes to sleep in bed with my 4 cats. All of them enjoy the music. | |
| Lowther Voigt Pipes are up and running Okay, guys, I'll answer each question one-by-one, in order of posting.First, Clueless, the wing idea was kind of an adaptation of a dipole radiator design I saw years ago, except I didn't have to block the front wave from the rear. I simply used t... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? I like Joni Mitchell. Any group known as the "pogues"(slang for gay) can go butt-surfing as far as I am concerned. The 80's? A decade of stinking crap, including Clash, and the rest of the so-called British Wave. Talentless thrashers. Anything tha... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for Rega P9 The Denon DL103 will work in the Rega arm and sounds superb. Only around $200. Sounds alot like a Koetsu black. I use one and really like it. Also recommend Shelter 501 or 901, superb carts. The 901 is a contender for one of the best, and costs ab... | |
| Vinyl Help. First one since my close and play. Agree with above. The Linn LP12 is a great table for the prices you can get on the used market today. Hard to beat. I agree the Ittok arm should be the one to get with the table. I have had an LP12/Ittok and they are a very nice combination. | |
| Lowther Voigt Pipes are up and running Albert, believe it or not, I thought about renting a van and driving down to your place to see how you like these. I know they would sound terrific on your system. But, you would have to only just barely crack open the volume control on your syste... |
