| Static on turntable If static is a real issue, I recommend Gruv Glide. Absolutely kills the static. Some vinyl enthusiasts are against putting any sort of a coating on the records, but GG has been sold by Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct for many years and I have nev... | |
| Morrow Audio Speaker Cables I highly suggest you order the break in service. I know some members don’t believe in this, but I bought some Morrow cables years ago and sent them back for the break in service and they sounded much better. Just my personal experience. | |
| Give Up on Bacch? It sounds like a big pain in the ass. What for? Life is complicated enough. | |
| Please Help. J. A. Michell Gyro SE - Speed Issue I think the first thing you should try is replacing the belt. My Basis is very speed sensitive to different belts. Worth a try at least. | |
| Tara Labs I recall @calvinj being a huge proponent of Tara cables. Perhaps he can offer an explanation. | |
| Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers @davejaz - I don’t know if this is what you meant in your last post, but I would not use the Symposium together with Vibrapods, as Symposium works with rigid coupling between the component and the shelf. One or the other. | |
| Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers @davejaz - I never tried any other footers under the OPPO other than the vibrapods. All I can say is that they worked amazingly well. Personally, I wouldn’t spend more on isolation than the component is worth. And I use the svelte shelf under my o... | |
| Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers You’re going to laugh, but when I had my OPPO 205, I found the sound improved significantly with a Vibrapod under each foot. Never heard them improve anything else, but it was a big difference on that player. About $25 for a set of 4. I think I us... | |
| Should I connect my OPPO BDP 105 to my PontisII? @yyzsantabarbara - very interesting piece of gear if you have a lot of SACDs. | |
| Should I connect my OPPO BDP 105 to my PontisII? Just a question here- if you want to play an SACD, doesn’t that have to be done from the analog outputs of the OPPO? I recall with my Sony XA9000, I used a coax to a Bel Canto dac for CD withe the outputs of the BC into my integrated amp and the o... | |
| Music Hall Maverick SACD Player repair Wow. I had one of those years ago. It was a nice player. I believe it was made by Shanling, so maybe check for anyone who repairs Shanling. You might also check with member @bigkidz, who does audio repair in NJ I believe. | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? @hilde45 - personally, other than the component, I just follow my normal routines of life. I don’t get obsessive over the other things. For me, I think that a month or 2 will give me enough input to decide what I want to do. | |
| Opinions on Daniel Hertz equipment Mark made no bones about the fact that he adopted some pro-audio concepts. Large woofers and bi/tri amping with external crossovers in the larger systems. As far as the C Wave and Mighty Cat chip stuff- pro audio has every processor you can imagi... | |
| Turntable advice If you have a nearby dealer, get a Linn. You can start simple and upgrade to your hearts content with no need to change tables. There is a lot of anti-Linn sentiment on this forum, but many devotees elsewhere. | |
| Weirdest record defect? I’ve never experienced a pressing defect that showed up every 90 seconds. The ones I’ve heard happen every revolution as the defect comes around again. It may be in the recording itself, although I can’t imagine how it got there. Every 90 seconds?... |
