| Power plant and power cords upgrades a real wow? Rok2kid - I guess you're correct. There is no actual dirt in there, but there is something going on in the power lines that the Audience power conditioner appears to rectify. At least in the case of the power coming into my home. Makes quite an im... | |
| Anyone know of a good, quiet, small fan? Vornado Zippi - about $25 and dead quiet. Cloth blades too, just in case the cat sticks his nose into it. | |
| Power plant and power cords upgrades a real wow? IMO, wait for a used Audience AR6 (non-teflon) power conditioner to come up for sale and grab it. Yes, the teflon version is quieter, but the stock AR6 is outstanding for the money. You might even find an AR12 for very close to what you wanted to ... | |
| Power cable for Arcam receiver? Personally, on a receiver, this Naim cord will be plenty good, IMO. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Naim-new-AC-Power-Cord-you-really-want-these-/360556054513?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item53f2d0c7f1 | |
| Active audio cables ? I have no proof it works You sound like you are upset and rushing to judgment. Synergistic is a reputable company and they make good products. I suggest you compose yourself and figure out how to set everything up properly, perhaps with the help of the dealer you bought t... | |
| If you're a fan of Billy Joel Saw him years ago when he was still wearing the white suit. Thought he was a great songwriter and performer. Shame. | |
| Focal Utopia Micro BE setup help Definitely sounds like a phase issue. You should get a strong center image, even with no toe-in, unless the speakers are like 15' apart. | |
| Small but high quality integrated Heed. An amazing little amplifier. | |
| Recommendation for analog set for $700 It's important to have a good cartridge/tonearm match or you won't get the most each is capable of. Personally, I would buy a Rega MM cart, install it using Rega's 3-point mounting system and forget it for a few years. They're fine carts and requi... | |
| Recommendation for analog set for $700 I think you're starting to slide down that slipperly slope of "is this better than that". Right now, you have zero frame of reference for analog. As I said above, as you are just starting out, I would avoid anything that requires a lot of analog k... | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video There is a counterweight gimmick for the Scout arm that makes it easier to set up. It lets you independently adjust tracking force and azimuth. Check it out. http://www.musicdirect.com/p-11961-soundsmith-counter-intuitive.aspx | |
| Basis 2500, 2800 or Debut - which would you use? AJ Conti designed the Vector so that it could be set up by anyone with decent tt skills. You can buy setup DVDs from Basis in which AJ walks you through the tt and arm setups step by step. I'm not saying you would be able to do it as well as an ex... | |
| Recommendation for analog set for $700 I would go for the Music Hall MMF5.1 that Questforsound has up for $695. You will get a warranty and dealer support, that you definitely need unless you're really experienced with turntables. It comes ready to go with a cartridge and dustcover and... | |
| Help me discover some new music... I highly recommend you check out some classical music. Small-scale Mozart and Bach will sound great on your system. String quartets, violin/piano, violin/harpsicord/cello. They will sound fabulous on your system and there are tons of mint used rec... | |
| Finding Rare Vinyl I just listened to a couple of tracks on You Tube. They remind me of the Beatles and the Kinks a little bit. Interesting. Maybe I'll pick up one of their records. |
