Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? I have a ML#27.5 which has gotten alot of use and alsois left on 24/7. I just started noticing a slight buzzfrom the left channel tweeter along with occasional static/crackle. Kinda like AM radio during a thunderstorm. Obviously not that loud, I n... | |
Vinyl to DVD-A 24/96 vs. Redbook You could write the files to DVD-R in DVD-V formatwhich supports 24/96 with a few different softwaresout there. Make's a "DAD" disk like Chesky's did fora while. | |
Proceed Avp2 problem- jumps to setup menu Yes, My room is very dry as well. This has happened me. I have DYI equipment rack made with 3/4'' threaded rod. I always try to touch that first. Hasn't been the cause of any serious problems but it sure scares the **** of me. Specially when yo... | |
Proceed AVP2 locked up solution ? Record loop from my Masterlink I'm sure was the cause. Was trying to lay down a bass guitar track when I selected the wrong input. I'm the second owner of the preamp. I did purchase it from a guy before Madrigal changed it's policly. Are you say... | |

Hard Drive based system I have an Alesis Masterlink as well. If you were touse it as "the hard drive", what would you have modifiedon the box? Would it not be taking advantage of bypassingthe whole "laser reading" process as well as the DAC? I use the balanced digital o... | |
Pioneer Elite PDR-99 system problem I never used mine much for recording, but as a transport it got some usage. I began to experience some drop outs on playback ( and recording ). Had it checked out and they wanted $500 bucks to replace the laser. I never did have it replaced. It s... | |
Alesis Masterlink as a CD Player? Mark, I have upgraded both the CDRW drive and the Hard drive on mine. The new hard drive ( 40 gig ) is much quieter than the original 4.3 gig. I replaced the CDRW because it was having trouble reading disc's and was getting very "picky" about whi... |
