| Speaker Stands adapters for Heavy Speakers? D, most monitor mfgrs recommend blu-tak. The smaller plate would also be a design criteria. If the base plate is small I would use lead, not sand. | |
| Help with a de-emphasis list? N, Here is another interesting observation; when this Petty CD is in my DVD player, the digital stream to my pre/pro will not allow any post processing! To listen to 5 channel stereo or DTS neo, etc, I have to go analog in. 'Splain that to me... | |
| Help with a de-emphasis list? N, I have no exclusive knowledge here. You read for yourself that which ever way the wind blows today... The ink is, yes, why I asked for a members list. It is recent ink too, I might add. Since most of the Eighties pop sounded bright and harsh, I... | |
| Directionality in digital = impedance mismatch Red, You are welcome to the small pile of Monster cables I accumulated before I knew any better... That's not really fair, 20 some years ago they were the only game in town. Thank goodness that changed... I recommend you revisit those lessons of y... | |
| Power Conditioning: Exactpower vs. Rotel vs. other Dawg, Spend the money on a dedicated. Plug the DNA into the wall like you are supposed to, and keed the PS. The Rotel is just surge protection. Spend what is left from the budget on music. | |
| Help with a de-emphasis list? Schipo, Interestingly enough, my Krell KPS25sc, ($22500.00), circa 2003. One of, if not THE finest sounding CD player, ever. Once in a while, the HDCD light goes on, or this 'emphasis' lettering goes on, and I am put back in my chair... Mouth agap... | |
| What tonearms are compatible with a Scoutmaster? Told you Harry wants you in a 10! As he notes on his site and in person, the other mfgrs are getting on the bus with longer arms. SME thinks so much of the 312 they built a new deck around it. Again, your "platform" will serve as budget and ears a... | |
| What tonearms are compatible with a Scoutmaster? Mad, While I share your interest in the mechanical advantages longer arms offer, the Scout is an excellent platform. Infinitely upgradeable, and with tons of untapped potential. Any part you replace will be snapped up. Harry likes the Dyna stuff a... | |
| Room Acoustics question: Adam, The 20x30 is close to the Cardas ratio that really works. 1.6 is a turn key winner every time. Pay attention to how normal conversation sounds; is it comfortable to have an extended conversation? These dims should respond to proper setup wit... | |
| help me with the name.... Good one Fail. | |
| Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance? You forgot the entertainment value! Glad to see you and Raul have made up. Two peas in a pod... LOL | |
| Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance? Boy oh boy, it is really mounting here... Wagering on the outcome of Fail vs the world... I've gotta go with the world. LOL. | |
| Esoteric Players: No Digital Input. WTF? As usual, one must go much farther up The Esoteric line to get the feature set found with the competition. You have to use one of their stand alone dacs to get inputs. | |
| Krell cast MMF versus others Flash, Look for your answer in the Krell listings. The original CAST cable was simply Mogami mic cable. New MMF unfortunately has the Nordost sound. Stay where you are unless you really want to see (hear) what CAST can do. The Transparent sounds a... | |
| Vinyl on the Radio Let's keep our fingers crossed. The good old days can be...again! |
