| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. if you reach out to Albert Porter, he may be able to help guide you, with all the appropriate disclaimers. Never heard of this problem, but dig mine. He might also be able to tell you the age- there was a running change on the unit roughly 5-6 yea... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @gbanderhoos-you raise some interesting points, starting with the actual operating frequency of your KL. I wonder how much variability there is among units in the field?We are told that 40Khz doesn’t cause damage, at least for relatively short dur... | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE Thank you for replying, and promptly to boot! | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE @emcdade- can you tell us what you've concluded after having had more time to run in the Border Patrol DAC?TIA. | |
| High End is Dead? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?Hell no! | |
| Electrical - Romex Wiring and Other Recommended Enhancements You may know more than your electrician about audiophile needs- I’ve found this to be the case in the past. The electrician will (or should) comply with Code (as written in the local jurisdiction), but you can and should take a look at some of the... | |
| High End is Dead? Without getting into the socio-political aspects of this, maybe some new definitions are in order. With turntables at 80k and up, arms at say 10k+, top tier phono carts retailing at 10-15k (not that people pay full sticker), and the rest an almost... | |
| Keeping Spend Among System Proportional? I think you know the answer to that, don't you @pawlowski6132 ? What's your overall budget? What kind of sound are you chasing? Do you have a preference regarding speaker types, e.g., planar, dynamic, horn, etc? The amp and speaker relationship is... | |
| Sound differences between Copper and Aluminum Bus Bar Electrical Panels What’s interesting is, when my contractor went to source subpanels here in Austin for a "from scratch" install, the supply houses claimed they had Square D with copper buss bars, and upon examination, all were aluminum. When I was in NY metro, it ... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @cj1965- I wasn't focused on turntables either. I was addressing the crux issue--dismissing a point of view rather than dealing with it on the merits. And suggested that forum users here aren't gullible, and offer a viewpoint that is valid, despit... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @cj1965- this thread has certainly morphed. Your initial complaint was that JA at Stereophile unfairly discriminated against those with contrary views by demanding their credentials, rather than focusing on the merits of the comment about a partic... | |
| QUAD ESL63: where to have rebuilt You probably won't avoid shipping unless there is someone in your immediate area, but Kent McCollum, near Kansas City, MO restored my 57s recently and did a fine job. He is also known for his work on '63s (I had a pair of Crosby modded ones that t... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members Perhaps you should write to Mr. Atkinson and express directly to him the concerns you are raising here. I quit reading magazines long ago so have no sense of the current editorial tone of Stereophile. If the staff is obnoxious on other fora, that ... | |
| Suggestions from all you wise ones @freediver - assuming your question was directed to me, re-read my paragraph that begins with ’You should go hear some systems...’. I didn’t suggest that this was a substitute for live music- in fact, as my next sentences made clear, I think a big... | |
| Suggestions from all you wise ones @golden210- So, you were last involved in 1974, and are only now just getting back into it due to your love of music and want to get your bearings?First, nothing happened between 1974 and now. :) Record manufacturing declined, the audiophile marke... |
