| Weiss is so underrated I am impressed at how skewed things can get as evidenced by calling the Weiss' price relatively low. Money thrown at a system is no guarantee of anything except that you've spent lots of dough. Some time back I heard a significant 5 figure Pre amp... | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum I use both a Spin Clean and a VPI 16.5. Total investment for both was about $400. How much is an ultrasonic cleaner? $4k?. I would rather use the $3,600 difference to buy music, and you can buy an aweful lot of music for $3600! | |
| Manufacturer Repairs? What is a reasonable time? I won't buy gear from a mini operation. I need my gear to be in it for the long haul. But then again, manufacturers of all sizes have gone belly up. | |
| Check out this web site Really liking the site. I get a kick out of seeing which manufacturers are still around- Marantz, Mac, Klipsch seem to be the US survivors ( if yo could call Marantz a US survivor)Fascinated to have seen a Rat Shack speaker with an electrostatic t... | |
| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? Folks- thank you. It's been interesting to read what people used to listen too | |
| Maxell or TDK? Once TDK came out with the SA-X and Maxell with the XL II-S tried those too. Prefered the originals! All this tape talk as me eyeing another Nak. | |
| Critique my system... Another thought- play around with speaker toe in. If you have the speakers angled in towards you, try them pointing more straight down the room. | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 vs Oval 12 I tend to agree- I'm running it right nowThank you- | |
| Maxell or TDK? yogiboy is correct. Your deck matters here. I have a 3 head Aiwa that sound better with Maxell. But my 3 head Nak? TDK was the way to go. Either will give great results in the right deck. Both are well made. I still have tapes I made in the 70s an... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords I've read plenty and heard plenty. I remain mystified though. Delivering 120v, 20 amps isn't that tough. Tight connections, adequate AWG, ground and shield. Back in the day when I used to change my own oil I believe I would have bought a length of... | |
| Critique my system... I would first look at room acoustics and speaker placementIf its a hard and cold room, throwing money at the equipment wnd isn't going to get you to your goal | |
| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? Wow- 30 years ago? Nothing, nothing at all. I was in grad school and my gear was packed away in Florida. I used a boom box for tunes. But what was packed away was a Kenwood KD1033 turntable, Shure V15 type 3 cartridge, Pioneer SX-450 Receiver, and... | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers Just listen to as many amps as you can with your speakers and buy what sounds best to you. | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions I've enjoyed my LP12 now for 15 years. It's fitted with a Lingo, Ekos, Arkiv B. not the latest specs but that's ok, cause it makes music. I've had it tuned up 2x since buying it. I dont know that DD is all the rage, as still, most tables seem to b... | |
| Speaker's magnetic field and pacemaker I've spoken to the electro physiologist and the Medtronic rep. Neither really didn't know but offered the same general advise- keep a reasonable distance. The alarm also activates when the battery is nearing end of life. I heard it last year. Funn... |
