| New Analog system. where to start? What is your current digital rig? I can give you an idea what you should aim for in terms of analogue. Buying a cheap TT/arm/cartridge/phono might dissapoint you too quickly. | |
| What's your tube pre doing? Very simple: AE3 is using minimalistic circuit with very small gain and considered to be very transparent with minimal colourations of sound.You should also try no-preamp(meaning passive preamp). I realized that I would have to spend at least $200... | |
| I would use the bold letters... Kurt, "Austin Lounge Lizards" and "Lounge Lizards" are two completely different bands. Do the research on LL's albums: "No Pain For Cakes", "Lounge Lizards"(S/T), "Live in Tokyo", "Live From The Drunken Boat"... It's mostly know to the New York "u... | |
| What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier? Mr Clueless, Your philosophy makes lots of sence. Especially in SET case, it's possible to get two SET amps or two pairs of monoblocks instead of buying one expencive and achieve higher results in horizongal bi-amping if such thing is possible. | |
| The best oil to use to lube a turntables spindle . I believe that in this situation there should be nothing done or just simply letting know that with your own TT you "intercourse" the way you want it and don't complain if anything goes wrong to the seller. Even authorised dealers will most-likely... | |
| Concord Jazz I believe that that is the case where red-book CDs of Concord Jazz well compete with some of HDCDs. My favorite is John Patitucci's "One More Angel". | |
| Acid Jazz? Certainly John Zorn considered to be one of the pioneers of asid jazz. The probably most sophisticated album is "Cobra".Jasun Martz and Neoteric orchestra must also impress you.Surf through the works of famous guitar player Fred Frith. | |
| Tips on sending records. No-UPS period. | |
| Horns + tube amps: can they handle LOUD like SS? Simple and clear:Transistors have a very small region of linear operation in their output characteristics(Volt-Ampere characteristics)and have to operate at less-than-half of their rated output power.Tubes have 90% of linear region and can be basi... | |
| Anybody who has experice with multi arm tables?? Is it possible to acquire a stand-alone tonearm? I believe that it's possible to exersise on cheap tonearms to build an adjustable stand. In my case with Michell it's quite easy since I have a sand-alone motor and can use the motor hole for such e... | |
| I am pissed I've just double-checked the list of zip codes on usps.gov and it was there! It means that I'm right and purchaser is right as well. Now I guess I'll have to kick it back to the carier and teach them some logistics and literacy arround USA.Fortuna... | |
| Pete Gabriel and Kate Bush I'm not sure about Kate I've check on Pete and didn't find neither mfsl nor HDCD/SACD/... Unfortunately(or maybe fortunately) she's not Britney | |
| Amplifier Fan Are you sure that your amp is getting overheat? I know that for SS amp getting overheat isn't a great idea since paramenters of transistors will significantly change. I don't recall the part number, but if you do a thorough research on www.partsex... | |
| Time to get things straight. ...Can't say anything about SL1200 but the other Technics DJ TT(don't remember the precise model number) with DME3009 S-shaped tonearm even hooked up with Sumiko BP didn't impress me at all. My friend used to be a DJ and now he's getting step-by-s... | |
| Cheap packing material One day come with the car or truck to PC Richard's, Toys'R'Us or any major store and ask for boxes. You're not going to imagine how many you can get of a different sizes.Besides, you can tear some of them to have extra carton for dividing componen... |
