| How to hard wire? I've heard this before Sean, however, my amplifiers are fitted with 20 Amp IEC's (as many are). They'd have to handle continuous 20 AMP to get the rating, both from U.L. and to get CE rating. Just for the record, my cdp and DAC are both hard wired... | |
| How many concerts do you attend a year I attend the Spokane Symphony concerts between 4 and 6 times a year, the Spokane Jazz Orchestra concerts about the same amount, and use to make it to our local jazz club about once or twice a month. The jazz club, Hobarts, closed earlier this year... | |
| How to hard wire? Maybe installing an IEC connector to the chassis would work as well? Then you could try various power cords. Just a thought. | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? Why short out the circuit and drain the PS, when you can cut the source without? Might mean more PS available to the DAC circuit? | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? Hello Sedond,I've shorted out the analog inputs, internally, the day that I got the unit. I had mentioned disabling the A to D entirely by disabling the chip, (removing it). Everyone knows that they need to remove the tube for playback (allowing m... | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? One mod that I had forgot (included in the $140.00 mod mentioned above), included a socket for the D to A chip also, so that the chip may be removed during playback only, thus isolating the A to D circuit. That way, the digital outputs don't need ... | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? Hi Albert,I got the full modification for $140.00, complete with op-amp change to LT 1365, Schottky diodes, installing sockets for the op-amps (so future op amp changes are done easily), changing the digital input resistor from 100 ohm to 75 ohm, ... | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? I'm awaiting the return of my fully modified Di/O, which should make it's way home soon. I've heard a few fully modified Di/O's and I have to admit that the modified unit could be stuffed into a better looking chassis and be sold for much more. I ... | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? I'm relatively new to digital sources/components, however, I have to say that I'm impressed with the ART Di/O once it has been heavily modified. Is it a giant killer? I don't know, like I said, I'm new to digits ... | |
| buying a stereo for my 16 yr. old I'm slowly assembling a system for my 11 year old daughter. A friend that owns a pawn shop acquired a NM Dynaco 70 and a Denon CD Player which he sold to me for $140.00. I have a custom built passive and an old tube Harmon Kardon tuner that aren't... | |
| SACD review site a go Now, I need your input ... I've got to agree with rwa3@aol.com, keep it tightly controlled. Audiogon has done a wonderful job keeping this a friendly, informative sight. Audio Asylum is a circus. Get rid of the monikers, add the posters e-mail address with their postings, a... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines - VPI vs. Nitty Gritty If someone built a better fit and finish machine, nobody would pay for it, would they? Is there a market for a decent RCM at a higher retail price? | |
| Maplenoll Adriadne/Shelter 501/Audiomat Phono 1 I know that the Mapelnoll is an excellent turntable when properly set up, which isn't too difficult. This company started out as a graduate project for Bruce Thigpen of Eminent Technology fame, (there are similarities in the Mapelnoll and ET-2 arm... | |
| NOS, how often is this term used correctly? You probably see the term "N.O.S." abused the most at eBay. There are those that really know what New Old Stock means, they are the ones' listing mutual transconductance results, etc. E-mail when in doubt. It doesn't take long to know who is knowl... | |
| good tabletop radio I think "Listener" magazine ran an article on a tabletop radio that was a Bose beater, like that takes much. The up side is that it had a retail of $100.00 USD. Does anyone remember seeing this?Also, does anyone have experience with the CC radio? ... |
