| Rush remasters- thumbs up. Farewell to Kings and Caress of Steel on mint, heavy vinyl would be almost enough to make me resurrect my TT, buy a phono preamp, andAww, who am I kidding. I'll buy 'em on CD. Thanks for the heads up. The original CDs of both of those albums are l... | |
| Jolida 1501RC shutdown and system "pops" A power conditioner is usually just a band-aid unless you spend big bucks on some of the units out there, but we're talking good used CD player money, not the $200 a Panamax costs. BTW, your max 1000 will do nothing to clean up your power. It's ju... | |
| A most neutral and transparent power cord I second the VH Audio powercord. I just built 2 flavor 2 cords for my monoblocks and am favorably impressed with their performance. They have lowered the background noise below what I thought was possible-- I thought it was quiet before, and didn'... | |
| UL certification and insurance TWL and I are exchanging ideas about this via email, but for the record, my lengthy post was not aimed at TWL, but at yet another "insurance myth". No offense to TWL was meant, but my position remains unchanged. If anyone out there has been told s... | |
| Home made turntable isolation Have you considered commercially available damping materials used (for example) to isolate electric motors from their mounting surfaces in boats to eliminate noise? I'm not an analog guy, so I really don't know if you want to isolate the TT from t... | |
| UL certification and insurance Sorry if this is a repeat- I think I screwed up the form the first time, so I re-submitted this.Here goes (2):There is no provision in any insurance policy that I have ever seen that even mentions UL listing. The lack of UL listing, homegrown / po... | |
| UL certification and insurance There is no provision in an insurance policy that precludes recovery for an otherwise covered loss solely because a powercord, or for that matter, any other electrical device in the home is not UL listed. Write a letter to your agent requesting an... | |
| Darryl and Darryl ask ... where would you start? I went like this:1) good speakers, midfi pre, amp, CD, DAC2) good preamp3) good amp and I just discovered that for the last year my good preamp has been negated by my midfi amp. Now that I have a good amp, I'm in audio nirvana-- so my advice would... | |
| Outdoor speakers with solid bass Sonance Mariner line- can find them used all over Ebay. Very listenable sound, good bass, good mounting system and good durability. I installed tons of them and I know damn well a lot of them were abused, but they just keep going. | |
| Any opinions on Signal Cable products? I ordered a set of balanced ICs last week from Frank after chatting with him via phone. Nice guy, good product, same day shipping. BTW, I bought a new balanced IC he has that's not on his website. I just bought new amps and needed a set of ICs wit... | |
| Velodyne ULD-15 series II X-over and cable ??? s Hmmm. Nobody cares. Fine. Here ya go anyhow.I put a new power cord on my sub amp last night. El Cheapo 12/3 power cord from Home Depot and a decent plug. It's only a 2 conductor cord, but they didn't have 12/2 power cord. Anything would have to be... | |
| How to share speakers without bypass? Niles SAS-1 is designed for this situation. It is much like Stickleda's idea, but the work is done for you, you don't even have to know how to make a relay work-- just hook it up and go. Trigger it with a cheap wall wart DC power supply running of... | |
| Velodyne ULD-15 series II X-over and cable ??? s WOW! Dave Santos at Velodyne returned my call not only same day but within a few hours, then faxed me the info I need. I almost feel bad for doubting anyone there would help out. So, now we're down to just the powercord- any input? | |
| Martin-Logan SL-3 The Prodigy is larger, and when I heard them last, I recall they had better bass extension, but not enough better that I wanted to pay for it. | |
| M. Logan Requests- Tube Suggestions in $1.5-2K?? You might have a tough time finding a tubed amp or pair of them with enough guts for ReQuests that fits your price range, but have you considered a neutral SS amp and a tube preamp? |
