| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @kraftwerkturbo Really? You thought I meant that a tweeters motion is moving the cabinet. I reread your question and my response and I suppose that I should have said that the bass drivers in the speaker cabinet would cause a slight motion, enou... | |
| What to do with dead equipment Sell it for whatever you can get for it. It just seems like a shame to throw out something like that. If you were attempting a repair one more time, I’d recommend Stereo Rehab here in Chicago. If it is repairable, Casper(proprietor) will repair it... | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio Now that's great service and October 23 is my birthday. That must have been the reason. | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? Maybe the fact that some of the best DACs/players deal with the signal in an (almost ?) pure discrete fashion rather than purely in chips/chipsets. R-2R DAC’s can be designed in silicon but there are discrete component designs. Some like in the Es... | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? @czarivey Technically not R2R, but R-2R. Rather than me fumbling through typing a treatise on R-2R DACs, maybe this fairly simple to read article can help: https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/combination/r-2r-dac.html | |
| Ken Fritz article @decooney “Nobody wanted to come to our house, because he wanted to put them to work,” said his daughter Patty, 58. “I think we went camping twice, never took vacation. It was just work, work, work.” One's passion is another one's hell. ... | |
| New Phono Cart with Character Needed Your issue might be the GrooveTracer upgrades you did. Frankly, the bearing is inferior to the original and wears out much faster and the Delrin platter or any of the plastic platters dull the sound of a Rega. The glass platter has a livelier so... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! It was a really nice pair of original Quad 57's that came with a pair of Futterman H3aa's that I picked up in the mid-eighties that I'll count as one. It was always a love/hate relationship; I always wanted more output out of them and I'd go ba... | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? @jhnnrrs Just wait until Crosely's and its crappy ilk start having vintage tacked to them. You're going to pull your hair out! Honestly, though, it's nostalgia with the latest generation and the really pricey stuff, I'll assume a lot of it is pe... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? Listening to jazz on 89.3, WNUR, Northwestern University as I type this. I like listening to the college stations here in Chicago; 88.7, WLUW, Loyola, 88.3, WBEZ North Eastern, 90.9, WDCB, College Of DuPage for new and interesting music I'm not f... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle Geez! For the last forty years, I've followed Linn's maxim that the speaker should not move a millimeter. In other words when I place my hand on the speaker it should not move side to side, back and forth, not rock at all! Time and time again I... | |
| Lifting the Christmas veil mahgister, I didn't realize that you were a poet. " mahgister Must we be envious of the gear or of the wife ? I know we must not be envious ... But .... I could not imagine a better gift from a better person ... I am not enviou... | |
| Do I upgrade my cartridge or my turntable Well depending on the cartridge, that would be the least expensive and easiest upgrade. But purchasing a new LP12 is your best bet if staying with the Linn simply because it's a fresh new product with the latest main bearing. You never know what... | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? I've owned the same equipment for decades but when I had an accident with my system, I basically replaced just about everything but my turntable. The thing was though, the integrated amp and SACD player I purchased new, while I liked them somehow... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? Unless something breaks in my system, I'll stick with what I have. I still own an NYAL Moscde 300 Maxi with mods I purchased in the eighties and a recent discussion with George Kaye about it, I happened to catch him before he left for the evening... |
