| MC cartridge output measurements This cartridge stuff gets deeper and deeper every week for me. I don't even know how smoffatt knew to ask this question. I've just been on the phone with vak discussing .1mv cartridges and their ability to achieve decent volume. Now i find that th... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. I'm with Elizabeth. I've picked up large collections just sitting in front of dumpsters. Much junk BUT many gems. Getting them to full life (ie. cleaning with various solutions) is half the fun.When it comes to the table,arm,cartridge,....blah,bla... | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre Iv have the right ones by luck! | |
| what causes repeat grooves on records? Sam,Thanks so much. I've been reading these forums for years and didn't know that. "The rule is always start with the maximum not the minimum recommended tracking force. Anti skate is opposite. Too little is better than too much."Always a new less... | |
| ECD1 similar cd players I have the Electrocompaniet DAC and the Aero Capitole 24/192 player. Both are great but totally different. Needlees to say, the AA Capitole player cost 3x the Electrocompaniet DAC. The Capitole is perfect in everyway as is the Electrocompaniet DAC... | |
| Big Bass Drum Jazz Chazro's right AND you must read the bio on Simon Phillips. He was playing professionally at 15! | |

| Shipping - Who's Resposible for Receipt of Item? I ordered an expensive ($1400) vintage amp from voodoo audio and told them to request a signature at my end. I required the signature becuase there is (still) construction across the street and a rather large box at my door step may be enticing.We... | |

| Most Effective Tweaks Most of it's junk and voodoo. I do favour the BDR large under my Audible Modulus 3A after trying about 20 types of isolation for it. They make a great difference. Otherwise, the Mapleshade brass footers never fail to make things better. All power ... | |

| Sneaky Pete Is Gone - R.I.P. Being an ex-studio guy I can only think, "That guy was on so much more then most people will ever know. The article is just touching the surface." Plus, I had no idea about the film work. GUMBY!! Forget Star Wars or the Terminator. GUMBY!! | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? audio(21)She hates the extra bedroom being full of vinyl and cds plus the fact that the stereo has taken over the family room (which is now called the stereo room) but she'll keep bitchin' and I'll keep buying.tvad - You can always get another per... | |
| Which DAC for $1K?Benchmark?Perpetual????? $1k is a hard "stop" in the world of DAC's. I found that once you're willing to hit the $1300-$1500 the sound is truely three time better in detail and bass. It's one of the few times in audio that the law of diminishing returns isn't true.The Ele... |
