| Acoustic Sounds Customer Service I think we are all insane. I have also known Chad and done business with him since the beginning of time. I have found that he accepts returns on defective records, and if memory serves, doesn't he do some pretty good deals on shipping?I guess the... | |
| Bi-amping Avantgarde Duo's hey, Jim, howz it hangin?My Duos sing with the Lamm amps.And my bass integration problem is not a problem anymore (the Lamms go down way deep for a tube amp). I switched to Joe Kubala's cable, and went to long ic/short speaker runs. Took out all p... | |
| Bi-amping Avantgarde Duo's Isn't that how the speaker already works? I mean that the woofs are 'self powered' with a solid state amp built in and the mid-tweets can be hooked up to anything, but often (and in my case, hardly unusual) it is with a tube amp.The idea of feedin... | |
| A better record cleaning brush than the vpi brush I bought the Walker Prelude package, which includes separate brushes (really more like pads) for each of the three solutions (well, the last one is purified water, which is used twice at the end of the cleaning cycle). Perhaps it is because I am c... | |
| Zerostat or Gruv Glide to rid static? I am currently liking the Walker Talisman very much. I have a selection of brushes, as well as the Zerostat. The Walker thing works and doesn't touch the record surface, although it is more expensive. (No affiliation and normally don't endorse pro... | |
| Ground Lift on PC, but Grounding Chassis to Outlet Thanks. From what I gather, the grounds on the amps may have been lifted internally before I bought them. When they went back to Vlad for switch replacement, I suspect he reinstalled the ground wires. Thus, the problem. I know that sometimes we ca... | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling Alex- the Emotion PCs, on all components now. | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling ON PCs, I really like the Kubala cords on the ML 2. That's what I'm using. And, I get my tubes thru the mad Russian in Brooklyn. | |
| Well Tempered Classic - any advice before buying? I used, at different intervals, all with success: A Lyra Parnassus; a Van de Hul hi output moving coil and god knows what else, probably a Grado Reference. Again, George Stanwick would be a good source for info. | |
| Well Tempered Classic - any advice before buying? Table is pretty bulletproof; Classic is, as you may know, a name for what was at one time, their only table. I still have one of these old ones, which has a newer motor, the black platter, a heavy brass aftermarket clamp around the fluid cup, some... | |
| Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ? My projector- a Marantz 1 chip DLP that peforms quite well, on a Stewart gray screen, cannot accomodate 1080p, but the picture from hi-def discs definitely looks better on the big screen. I did buy the LG player, I don't really care about the lack... | |
| How to connect audio system to AC outlets? I've tried several different options, using dedicated lines. I was using a Hydra, with an Anaconda, and plugging much into it- phonostage, linestage and amps on one dedicated line. Powered Woofers had their own circuit. And the TT its own. To deal... | |
| What are the treasures in your vinyl library? My most valuable are certainly not my most played, eg a UHQR Tea for the Tillerman, which I have owned since new- I think the old Island pink label I bought off the street for a buck actually sounds better.Other goodies- Direct to Disc Flamenco Fe... | |
| dissapointing audiophile recording Seems like the Classic label is problematic. Had a couple of bad ones in a row- some kind of nasty pressing gremlins. | |
| Techs in NYC - I need names There is also Soundsmith, located in Peekskill, who probably has some facility to allow you to drop off and pick up the equipment in the city, since they do repair work for dealers and are authorized repair for several manufacturers. http://www.so... |
