| Stupid question If you hook up speakers backwards and play certain frequencies at high enought levels, it can trigger a rip in the "time continuim" of our current dimension of reality and end all life as we know it. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing... | |
| Stupid question Don't do it. It can mess up your life. | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias I thought "fixed bias" meant you could NOT adjust the bias...no pot available in the design for that. I think most tube amps allow for bias adjustment, and auto bias merely does it for you on the fly...and that's good. | |
| LP care Nature DOES abhor a vacuum...look it up. When I manually spin my LPs in the Spin Clean, it strenghtens my forearms thus allowing me to skip that day's trip to the gym. Also, I drink the used water as I assume it imparts some musical information in... | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias Tube auto bias circuits are SO cool...I wish they had 'em in guitar amps. They get rid of an issue I've always had with high end tube amps. | |
| LP care That vacuum thing is like the din of armageddon...like a thousand thunderclaps in your hat...Niagra Falls next to your lounge chair...Joan Rivers living in your eustachian tube...my ex wife in the passenger seat... | |
| LP care The Spin Clean is hand operated and costs about $75. Fluid, the tight brushes, and elbow grease get 'er done. Also the act of drying the LPs pulls a lot of loosened stuff outta the groove...remember: Nature Abhors a Vacuum. | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? The obvious solution to the dilemma of "room treatment" is to buy a good set of headphones. | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? BE FREE FELLOW FREQUENCY FREAKS: It's personal...My speakers are on either side of a "fake" fireplace about a foot and a half from the back wall and 6 inches from the "fireplace" walls..with a powered sub stuck in behind the left speaker. The swee... | |
| LP care Well before I bought a Spin Clean I was visiting a friend who was cleaning LPs with a popular vacuum device...it sounded like a jet taking off next to my head and seemed like a messy pain in the butt. I wasn't listening to my LPs much back then (n... | |
| Power Cables for Class D Amplifiers Is VooDoo the best name EVER for a high end accessory or what? | |
| Stupid question Stereo speakers if hooked up backwards will sound a little weird and the bass will suffer a lot...does it matter? Well...weird is weird, accurate is accurate. | |
| Anyone tried pro-audio XLR mike cable in system ? The Audioquest Diamonbacks sound tremendous right out of the box...seller claimed they were unused, they seem to sound great now and if they get better...groovy. High end is clean and not tizzy, soundstage accurate, smooth mids...all good. | |
| Anyone tried pro-audio XLR mike cable in system ? I have lots of mic cables (musician) and find that the better ones sound better. That said, I put a brand new pair of 1 meter Mogami Gold (gold neutriks, 2534 neglex) between my preamp and amp and initially thought it sounded better than some more... | |
| LP care See? I rest my case. |
