| Building An Acrylic Turntable I wonder where carbon fiber might fit into all of this? Would this be a suitable alternative to using slate and can acrylic be used in combination with other materials in order to make it more affective? | |
| Building An Acrylic Turntable My only knowledge about sound advantages in choosing acrylic is that it does not resinate, the very reason why my ASR amp and phono stage are encased in acrylic. Please keep in mind that I'm not machining acrylic but rather casting it instead. The... | |
| Building An Acrylic Turntable Hey, thanks for the link! Both tables look like they can get the job done and that acrylic table surely came out nice. I forgot to mention but I'm planning to cast my platter and my plinth in a pourable form of clear acrylic. The 2 part polyuretha... | |
| How do you tame a Denon DL-S1? Do you think that changing out the tonearm cable or silver plating the connections could result in giving you enough latitude in order to get things where you want them? I guess then a different or additional approach could be to test out a variet... | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Its funny that you should mention audio streaming as I recently bought a higher end DAC for this very reason. The BBC Radio 3 at 320 kbps is about the only station that I'm able to withstand. I even wrote the BBC asking them to offer full resoluti... | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Yes, this is a valid point. I'm in Cincinnati now and wanted to pick up a station in Dayton and in Yellow Springs but cannot with a dipole antenna. Tiffin to Detroit would be more than the distance between Cincinnati to Dayton. As stated initially... | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Sure enough, cheap thrills no longer interest me. | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Thanks Sean,Much appreciated advice as your comments add a perspective that's obviously founded upon practical sense. I'll seek out other antenna options. | |

| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise Yes, I would buy a new refrigerator if I could afford to do so but I am saving for a good mono cartridge and the refrigerator came with the apartment. Fortunately I don't own a dishwasher or the noise levels would be twice as frustrating. I'm plan... | |
| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise Yes, that totally explains the best approach to the problem in the kitchen. I'll opt first to place a floor mat of synthetic material under the refrigerator and then go from there. I'm also cogitating about placing free standing panels behind my e... | |
| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise Thanks Elizabeth,Primarily what I had anticipated but wasn't totally certain. The only difference is that I considered sheets of foam core and sound proof styrofoam being as it's light weight but now that you've mentioned it, so is felt. It looks ... | |
| What Can You Do With A Thorens? Yes, I'm referring to purchasing a cable that runs from the backside of the turntable with what I typically believe to be a DIN termination, to 2 RCA's and a ground wire which then plugs into the back of my ASR Mini Basis Exclusive. From the ASR p... | |
| What Can You Do With A Thorens? Thanks Hifihvn! I appreciate being guided in the right direction. I'm guessing however that a different phono cable might give me a noticeable improvement. I'm hesitant however about spending allot of money on a TD145, say any more than $400.00 fo... | |
| Internet radio stations that sound really good I don't know if they've already been mentioned but 2 stations;1) WDR3 out of Cologne Germany at 256 kbps2) BBC Radio3 via iTunes Radio at 320kbps 'so close yet so faraway'. |
