| SME 20/2 Static Electricity I use used drier sheets, a light swipe and it works great. Zerostats DO work. In CO static in winter is a real deal even with a humidifier. I can tell a my zerostat works because I can often feel the hair on my arm raise when holding a record, the... | |
| How to control sound on TV/monitor via Apple TV? To do what you want to do you really need an HDMI capable tv/monitor with coax or optical out. That assumes you have some sort of preamp or integrated with coax/optical in. Another way is to put an HDMI audio capable integrated or receiver between... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Synchronicity, entirely too loud. Just right! | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music Any particular reason you went with the A31 vs the A21/A21+ or even JC5? While a swarm might be one of the options for big low end, often they are impractical space/position wise and still require proper setup to get right. So reality is, any sub ... | |
| Child Damage Mitigation @glubson,Nope, as Mark said it just takes teaching kids their limits. It’s not perfect, but it’s good most of the time. Raising our daughter we never removed things just so she couldn’t get her hands on them, we taught her what she could touch, or... | |
| Child Damage Mitigation Lots of fun responses, but children actually learn the word “no”. It’s pretty simple really. Applied with proper tone and with diligence, it’s amazing what kids can learn... I’ve got three grand children, 7, 4, and 1... the “N” word works every ti... | |
| Where’s My Weakest Link? You mention your cables are "generic" like Amazon Basics generic, or some such? Cables can make ALL the difference. You don't have to spend thousands (though you could). A good start is power. Like MC said, do your outlets, easy and relatively che... | |
| Advise on Long Phono Cable run Wow, I thought mine was long at about 8’. I’m with the rest, best to get a phono stage, you might have to have something custom made if that is your only option. Transparent with make you a custom one $$$ or maybe try Blue Jeans Cable. I’m sure th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dark Side of the Moon...Yessongs | |
| Is it all worth it? With my setup I really like to listen to the relatively few albums I have. But, in terms of sheer time listening, digital definitely wins the day. I’ve got some huge, very eclectic playlists and it is nice to just put one on, hit random, and go. A... | |
| Is anyone else streaming Amazon Music through a Dot. I’ve recently added Amazon Ultra and am quite happy overall. Nothing beats Spotify’s interface and algorithms IMO, but Amazon is pretty good. Their library at the HD Ultra level of subscription is quite amazing. | |
| Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging) Cool song... there are some definite subsonics mixed into that. Interesting. I call tunes like that “speaker killers”. A woofer workout for sure. The Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack has a lot of that. | |
| How much is "LOUD" still a reference point for some? I like loud sometimes, but as a professional drummer, loud is my world. (I wear ear protection religiously these days) but music wise I ultimately prefer “comfortable” overall and that is around 70-80db. I can push past 100, sounds great, but is j... | |
| i phone/pad streaming This might be sacrilege here, but depending on your needs, the Sonos Port works great. Simply Airplay, use the Sonos app, whatever. Has both Coax and Line Level output. I don't "critically listen" when I'm streaming, so it is more for background a... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? @ kenjit"Super Audiofiles" Ok then. Do you get fake muscle tights and a cape? |
