| Totem response re: recommended tube amp for Sttaf I posted to your other thread but it sounds like you are well down the path to a decision. That's great! Have fun...let us know how things turn out. | |
| Shout out for Better Records Rosedanny - Absolutely. I share the same conflict about paying hundreds for an Lp. My idea of fun is finding a few hours to spend rummaging around flea markets or antique shops looking for cheap vinyl. As you, take it home, clean it up and see wha... | |
| Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea? Djh - You've already received a lot of good input...I only risk boring you with my experience because it might help allay some of your concerns. I went to an integrated tube amp several years ago and haven't looked back. I didn't have all that muc... | |
| Shout out for Better Records I'll second Rosedanny's comments re packaging and prompt delivery. Ever the bargain hunter - I bought some very affordable, normally priced vinyl from Better Records...1 used (The Band's "Rock of Ages") and 1 new (Captain Beefheart's, "Magic Spot"... | |
| balanced power Folks - That was really helpful. I've wondered myself what "balanced power" meant. Now I at least have a clue.Thanks. Chris - good question! | |
| Loud bad noises The DAC has been out of the chain while the Cambridge CDP is back in with the MF tube buffer. No loud bad noises and all has been good for weeks. The DAC is in for servicing but nothing wrong can be found with it so far. I'm told this model (Theta... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER JC - You mean the way CDs killed vinyl?(sorry couldn't resist) | |
| Vinyl & Cartridge Cleaners For stylus cleaning, using Dougdeacon's recommmended process for employing the "Magic Eraser", try slitting the eraser vertically at 2-3mm intervals across its width. | |
| Lotus cleaning system oxygenated water for LP's? Reading the original post, I think "adding a third oxygen to water..." is not what Emailists intended. Looks like whatever this product is, it is generating ozone (O3). O3 is a powerful oxidizer. Stronger than chlorine. It would be present as a di... | |
| Has anyone heard this Cd Qdrone - I hadn't heard of this CD but intend to look for it. I have Joan's first and like it a lot. Should have more of her material. I'm not opposed to country - tho' I tend to shy away from the more commercial products (or at least what I perce... | |
| Powering On/Off Tube CD Player Jolida JD-100 Hershon - can't argue with turning the MF X10 V3 tube buffer off when not in use. There have been reports of amp damage based on that initial "sound" put out by the V3 so I'd recommend powering it up and allowing time to stablize in advance of tur... | |
| Powering On/Off Tube CD Player Jolida JD-100 Just a caution on the MF tube buffer...Power it up in advance of your amp. Give it several minutes to stabilize (say 15 - I'm probably erring on the side of caution), then switch on your amp. I have read here of cases where the MF at start up give... | |
| new eagles album Nrchy - are you kidding?Sonically, live "Hell Freezes Over" is amazing. Songs on "Desperado" are great - as with other albums.Curious where you're coming from. | |
| Affordable Power Cords Consider the DIY route. See Parts Express for an easy to follow procedure (plus the necessary parts). | |
| what kind of audiophile are you ? I think I fit best in whatever cateory Leedistad's, Mrjstark's, and Timrhu's comments suggest. I want a system that makes good sounds at an affordable price. Accuracy,instrumental realism etc don't interest me as much as the music itself and the "... |
