| SONY TRINITRON ON 11 YEARS I have a Sony Trinitron 15-inch set that I bought in 1976, when I started my first job. It's still working fine; my kids watch it in our book room when they're eating. (They generally don't like what we're watching on the kitchen set.) The Sony ne... | |
| Audio Note Gaku-on I don't speak Japanese, so I can only guess at some translations. There was an Audio Note company founded in Japan by a designer named Kondo. He put out a highly praised, very expensive tube amp called the Ongaku, which means "music" in Japanese.S... | |
| Wilson W/P 7 RESISTOR REPLACEMENT ?? Tony007 - Thank you. I stand corrected: It appears the W/P 7 does indeed still use a Focal tweeter. My memory slipped a cog, and I thought there was a tweeter switch between the 6s and the 7s. It had not in fact happened yet. Here's some relevant ... | |
| Wilson W/P 7 RESISTOR REPLACEMENT ?? Have you checked with Wilson? Would it be easier (and more amenible to customization) to add an equalizer somewhere? It is possible that Wilson's crossover components are encased in epoxy, i.e., "potted," which would make them difficult to modify.... | |
| HDCD compatible? High Definition Compact Disc was (is) a way to squeeze a little more information onto the digital coding on a CD. It involves slightly modifying the standard CD encoding and does not require extra layers like hybrid SACDs. The CD can be played nor... | |
| Cartridge for Graham 1.5 Tobes,Yes, we theoretically should adjust VTF for different record thicknesses. And, we have a more difficult issue with warped records.Please forgive me if this is ground you have already covered, but there is a real reason for what you have obse... | |
| ML 39 vs 390s I agree with samsam@msn.net. I stand by my post on this earlier thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1020275249&openfrom&1&4#1 | |
| Getting rid of harsh, shrill treble Your MD 308 amp is known for a balanced presentation and is probably not the source of the harshness and shrillness (unless it hasn't been broken in for long enough). Your Rega Jupiter is probably also not the problem. Per your question, switching... | |
| Mod Squad Soft Shoes? Anyone have them? Perhaps you have already seen this Audiogon ad which lists Mod Squad Soft Shoes (both large and small sizes) for sale near the bottom of the page:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablintr&1173671662 | |
| HiFi lacking social recognition? I think its cyclical, with a long, multi-year period.I remember as a kid in the 1960s I saw some component systems on display at a department store when my parents went to buy a console stereo. (We eventually bought a Magnovox console.) When we as... | |
| Cartridge for Graham 1.5 I ran a Crown Jewel with a Graham 1.5 with good results. As you may recall, the Crown Jewel was a re-badged Shelter 501 (with a different shaft material?). The cartridge was a little on the lush side, matching well with the arm, which was quite de... | |
| panel sub woofers Panel speakers have typically had an advantage over many dynamic drivers in the areas of speed and linearity. Key design challenges would include how to deal with the large back wave (cancellation, reflection, reinforcement, etc.) and limitations ... | |
| Getting rid of fm stations Have you tried RF Stoppers (ferrite clamp) by Audioquest? These little magnet cylinders clamp onto your interconnect and block FM noise. Radio Shack also made a version. The Cable Company web site has the RF Stoppers for sale:http://www.fatwyre.co... | |
| why do my polk sda 1 monitors subdue male vocals? It sounds like you've narrowed it down to the speakers, especially after noting that male vocals were fine with the Klipsch's. I had thought that it might have been something with the equalizer settings, but apparently not. It could be that the Kl... | |
| why do my polk sda 1 monitors subdue male vocals? Does male vocal clarity change when you hit the EQ/Bypass on the EQ100? |
