| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade Quality power cords are paramount and one thing that I found improved the sound a lot was replacing the fuses I originally used with small push button breakers - and a nice case :-) The first attempt was a 12v lighting transformer - it improved th... | |
| Best Counterweight Position? I have read posts on other forums that also support moving the weight to attain a better sound. Further back for higher mass arms and closer to the pivot point for lower mass arms. I do agree that adding weight/mass to my arm would bring the reson... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Move the counterbalance weight on your tone arm back. Yes, you have to use a headshell weight to do this, but I found the improvements were well worth it - more detailed bass, smoother highs, more spacious soundstage.An interim step in order to ge... | |

| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I just installed a Pass and Seymour 20 amp MRI grade (i.e. no magnetic materials used) 120v outlet. To my surprise it made a noticeable difference to the details and sound stage image - mainly due to it clamping the pins of the plug like a vice.At... | |
| Wanting Coax rca digital out on DVR, Streaming I have the DH Labs toslink and it beats everyother one in that price range hands down - use it for streaming WAV to my DAC - it had the highest bandwidth and made the music sound so much better - I would guess due to fewer dropped bits | |
| Stager Silver Solid interconnects As with everything in audio, ALL the components in a system make a difference. I consider cables of any type, a passive component that posses attributes of Conductivity, Resistance, Capacitance and Inductance, all of which effects the sound and dy... | |

Just had Internet Radio run overnight with no breaksRead on the net that if you are connected to a computer via "Home Sharing" and that computer has power saving invoked it will cause the ATV to disconnect- tuned off power sharing - seemed to work... | |
| Is it my Apple TV or the Internet Radio Stations? Hmmm - this is not sounding goodI have also tried connecting to my Bell b/g Modem/Router and a Netgear b/g router.Perhaps it only really works with apple routers?But then - why would the iMac work and not the ATV - shouldn't they be conforming to ... | |
| Is it my Apple TV or the Internet Radio Stations?
