| Cat jumped on turntable Right. So my daughter is spending a year in China. My wife graciously agreed to keep her cat Maseo (Jane's Addiction). I can always replace the socks on my speakers but there is are two 6 thousand volt power supplies back there which I assure all ... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses David, you hit it right on the head,”less emotionally involving.”Although I do not own one at this time, Mr Pass makes some of the best sounding amps. I think Beethoven proved that you don’t have to be able to hear, you just have to know what you ... | |
| OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system. Tom, the best tweak for your audio system is a bottle of wine. The problem with this tweak is everything sounds like ---- the next day. | |
| Magnepan needs your help Josh, I don't think so. But there is a Maggie dealer in Nashua, NH. You could capture most of New England there.Josh, where did the "nobody would buy them" theory come from. If I did a demo with a standard 20.7 and a 20.7 full line source nobody e... | |

| Magnepan needs your help Hi Wendell,I would love to but NJ is a bit far for me. I live in NH. I have owned and set up countless Maggie's. What I can tell you is that if the 20.7's were 7' 10" tall they would be near perfect for anyone with an 8 foot ceiling. If you are go... | |

| turntable hum 1+ Ralph. You might look for a screw on the motor's housing you couldattach a spade lug to. You can get these at any auto shop. You just crimp it to the wire. The tool is cheap. | |
| What does an impedance-matching issue "sound" like? More than likely the impedance of the speaker is too low for the amps in this configuration. Get yourself a high quality active cross over and bi amp the Rivals. They are set up for it! | |
| Cartridge Headshell Match Don't assume that, you never know for sure until you test it. You want bright light and watch the cantilever carefully. When you hit the resonance point the cantilever will start shaking. for the lateral watch the cantilever from the front. For t... | |
| Cartridge Headshell Match Nick, the Benz is an intermediate compliance cartridge and your arm is on the heavier side. Go with the lightest headshell as you can always add weight. Much harder to take it away. Get the Hi Fi News Test Record. It has both vertical and lateral ... | |
| Bespoke Loudspeaker Company 1+ millercarbon. Uberwaltz, lighten up. There is nothing at all life threatening about any of this. I am really sorry you like old idler wheel turntables. Rumble away:) | |
