| rubber O rings on Rega counterweight collars? Probably the best thing you can do is give The Cable Company a call. They have a huge selection of tweaks/upgrades. Also, they'll send you demo units of whatever you want, to try in your system before you commit to a purchase. | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation "The only drawback so far is that I think it degraded the overall sound quality which may only be a matter of adjusting to this new balance."If you get a digital EQ you can output to a DAC. Most people feel that you'll get better sound if you EQ a... | |
| last night a dj deck saved my life "Then there is also the truism that "the truth is usually in the middle". IOW, yes, the DJ wants torque and accurate speed control, but don't forget that the DJ's #1 goal is to get people dancing. I think audiophiles would sometimes do well by wor... | |

| last night a dj deck saved my life "So with that in mind I am surprised Diyers are simply going for the technics 1210 and 1200's. The Numarks and Audio Techinicas use three phase brushless dc direct drive motors with 16 poles as opposed to the 12 pole technics motors. They are sign... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation "12-05-14: Aolmrd1241Can you move the left speaker forward enough to a point where the two channels sound almost equal in frequency? It may help in balancing out the sound some."I was going to say the same thing. Also, you may want to try putting ... | |

| Best 2.0 powered computer speakers? A pair of Meridian DSP8000's should hold you over for a while. | |
| I have B&W 801's and want to add a B&W center The HTM is too easily overpowered by the main speakers. A better solution would be to get a pair of 804 or 805's and put one on each side of the screen. The center channel just like a mono recording so you'll get a center image right in the middle... | |

Also make sure that your Oppo is set up to play in 2 channel mode, and not something else like 5 channels.Try removing the jumpers on the back of your NAD and run interconn... | |
| Recommendation for TT power I don't think you'll find a remote solution. What you can do, however, is get a speed control. Use the power button on that. Also, it should give you better sound quality. Look at Audio Advisor or Music Direct. They have a few models that are in y... | |
