| What considerations apply to material selection for cartridge mounting bolts? After a lot of trials I've found in my system that Titanium screws sound the best, a bit expensive but depending on your system well worth the price. https://acousticalsystems.audio/product/titanium-smart-screws/ You can buy titanium screws ... | |
| Looking for help - Classe Omega Monoblock - Blinking Red light I think that means protection mode is triggered (I can't remember if my CA-200 would flash red or green when protection mode was triggered). Swap the input cables left to right and see if the problem follows the cables. Your preamp might be passin... | |
| Favorite Streamer/DAC combo under 3k? Hey OP- Keep in mind that many streamers and DACs are not full-sized components, so separates often don't take up that much room. Also, I never look at the screen on my streamer, and if it didn't have one, I wouldn't mind. Everything is done from ... | |
| Bass Traps Just one question why Rockwall and not Owens Corning 703 rigid panel? OC 703 is not very effective in a 6" thick application. It won't reach very low. 6" Rockwool will make a better bass trap. | |
| Do you own gear from defunct brands? Mod Squad power supply for my Oracle turntable. | |
| Subs or Turntable? First is that I would need speaker level inputs. My amp does not have any additional outputs and getting a different amp just to fit in a sub doesn't really make financial sense at this point. You don't need an amp with an additional set ... | |
| Mounting cartridge in Eminent Technology ET-2 tonearm No this is wrong - if you level the platter, and then alter the TT feet to level the ET tonearm spindle then the platter would now be out of level. You level the platter, then level the ET using the 2 pillar screws at the base of the ET arm. I... | |
| Mounting cartridge in Eminent Technology ET-2 tonearm I only adjust the pillar once, and that is when I install the arm on the table. I adjust it so it’s perfectly perpendicular to the platter and so the tonearm spindle is parallel to the platter. Machinist squares and straightedges work well for t... | |
| What are you using to clean LP album covers? Every time I clean an LP that’s not new, I also clean the jacket before putting it in a new outer sleeve. Lately, I’ve been using Method All Purpose Cleaner (because it’s very mild and usually around the house) on a microfiber cloth and it works g... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @rms456 Often thought about the Aurender, but it misses out for large libraries unless I'm missing the point on how their conductor application works. Aurender can play files directly from a NAS. I just set mine up and it works perfectly. | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Ultimately, I want to be able to judge whether it is worth spending any more on my vinyl hardware, or stick with digital. You can play leapfrog with you vinyl and digital front ends for the rest of your life. Upgrade your vinyl system and it w... | |
| Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H I bought a used N100SC a few years ago and had a ton of issues with it at first, but it has been 100% rock solid and reliable lately. I'm not sure if it's because of software updates or a new router I had Verizon install, but something clearly ch... | |
| better wood for a plinth The 301 and 401's chassis are aluminum. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard last week at the Gorge. This band is amazing and they're peaking right now. Every show this tour was top notch. There were no off nights. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @dover "When you buy something like DAS plinth you are buying weetbix wrapped in xmas paper." That's a little harsh, no? I think most (maybe all) DAS plinths are 100% birch ply (not counting the veneer obviously) with the exception of the ones... |
