| TRL DUDE preamp Hey Brian, The volume control thing did last a long time, but that was the only issue during the 8 years I've owned it. The sound was always glorious, but now that the volume can go up where the control knob is sometimes at halfway, it sounds ev... | |
| Low profile CC speaker that is good sounding The Anthem's lights all went out so its is impossible to tell what is being used or where levels are at. Had to return to my trusty Yamaha HT receiver. It somehow works with each component in the system and basically automatically goes to that c... | |
| TRL DUDE preamp Still have the DUDE. It sounds better than ever. I now have about 5-6 of Krissy’s boxes wired to the DUDE at every open RCA input and output. With each addition, the realistic SQ is noticeably better. The system is now quite the wonder and keeps m... | |
| Live Vibe Audio Followed the Lenco Heaven thread on AC and have a 10-layered MDF & baltic birch plinth that weighs 100 lbs. Sounds great. Bob | |
| Live Vibe Audio I’ve been an owner of two Sistrum racks with 3 platforms on each for about 8 years now. I may also be the only one to have RTS couplers clamping each component to its platform. Just setting a component on a Sistrum platform will immediately make i... | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy I used a fat shoestring crossed above the outlet and screwed it into the stud that was there. Use a 1.5" drywall screw to fasten it. Needs to be just big enough loop to slip the cable through and then plug it into the outlet. The tension behind th... | |
| Not enough outlets Try Synergistic Research QLS-6 power strip. The 6 outlets are all in one row and about 3" of bare space between each one. No problem with connections--very secure grip on the plugs and quiet soundwise. Bob | |
| Improving a stone rack Try using a very dense wood that has a totally different sound signature from the hard granite in conjunction with the granite. I've tried many different types of materials for a rack. I have been using a pair of Sistrum racks from Star Sound fo... | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... @2psyop If you want to see what vinyl play is like today but are a bit unsure how it will sound, Fluance TT's have a range of players which include the TT, arm, and cartridge. If you go to at least the RT82, it will give you a good sounding sys... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms I currently have 3 tonearms that all have been used with a heavily modified and upgraded Lenco 78 that have been running exactly on speed for several years. It did take me several years to getting it running correctly as I was learning on the go. ... | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables For your speakers, Clarity Cables Organic are a great solution. They have no area of weakness, and will make all other cable sound thin in comparison. I have very transparent, detailed speakers with authoritative bass in VMPS RM40 BCSE ribbon sp... | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? The safest way is to listen to them in your system at home. Won't make a bad decision that way. I've learned the hard and expensive way more than once. I know that I'm a VMPS RM40 BCSE man. I love the VMPS ribbons and have owned about 5 of the... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? I was one of the early users of Speltz AntiCables. I can't speak for the ICs or PCs but their original speaker cable beat all others I tried including a couple in the $1000+ range. They are extremely open, transparent, and detailed with good bas... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K Klipsch LaScala's placed about with fronts about 4 ft. out from the front wall or for more money, Klipschorns in the corner. You system should sweeten the sound of the horns nicely and they's be about right for power. Dynamic as all hell. They ... | |
| Seeking Legit Cartridge Expert? Your Harbeth's make everything sound good, so I'd look for a cartridge that was more dynamic with excellent detail. The Miyajima Shilabe would be a hopping dynamic cartridge that should be great with rock and jazz albums. It also has a potent ba... |
