| Balanced Phono Connections Thanks for the recommendations. The Silver Breeze sounds nice but since I don't know how long I will keep the Ittok I probably won't invest that much into it. I'll probably take Herman's advice and modify what I've already got. | |
| Why even bother? The station I listen to most of the time is a public radio station that does not compress any more than necessary (far less than the majority of commercial stations). I actually enjoy listening to my tuner (MR71)! Additonally the new music I am ex... | |
| Brown out problem Not quite sure I understand the whole situation, but this one device shouldn't cause a brown out and neither should any typical appliances in the house. That is unless there is a feed problem or worse a wiring problem in your house. Might want to ... | |
| PS Audio's new "Gain Cell" Amplifiers . . . The part that throws me is there isn't a volume pot or stepped attenuator, yet this all analog device is variable and can be controlled via remote. How do they do that? | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 I didn't say the ATC's weren't a good choice, but I do take exception to someone who insists something is good because it uses the "Best" components. Yes I am aware of ATC's reputation. I also would not second guess Rives hearing abilities, and ye... | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 I have not heard the VR4 Jr's but I have heard lots of good reports, particularly for small rooms (in contrast to what D Edwards says). I too have a small room and will be searching out a pair of VR4 Jr's to listen to. I have heard the Gallo's, th... | |
| Problems with U.S. Customs - Watch Out I haven't tried to do this but the fact that a CD player has a laser is the problem. Don't understand why they make such a big deal about this, there are literally millions of these "dangerous" items in use. But the Government has it's rules and t... | |
| Cal Audio Repair? Check out the archives, this has been asked several times with several repair sources provided, none of which I can can recall even though I have CAL player. | |
| The music companies do something wrong I agree the big music companies are making way too much money off CD's while most of the artists starve from the miniscule renenues. I read something recently about a mderately well known artist (can't remember the name off-hand, story may have be... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Used to ride a KTM 125 in enduros. That was fun but the body can only take so much bouncing off of trees! I've stayed away from the street, too many idiots. | |
| Who u gots da most uv??? For me it is Bill Frisell, I've got about 20 CD's where he is the leader. There are many, many more where is he is a guest artist (see http://www.billfrisell.com/ for a full listing). He's got a unique guitar style which is easily identifiable, ye... | |
| Is this rude? Short answer, yes. Long answer, really depends on how much time the dealer puts into the demo. If you walk into the store and the speakers are already playing then no harm done. But if the dealer has to set them up (move them around or hook up dif... | |
| Anyone have their system insured? Driver has it right. I would add that in the case of flooding you will probably need separate flood insurance if you don't already have it. I don't think it matters what the source of the water is; no flood insurance, no claim. | |
| audio research sp-10 Synthgirl33- I don't have the 2Ci's any more, replaced them with 3A Signatures, but I was using the Kimber wires with them. I had the Sound Anchor stands, slightly better than Vanderstands, but elevated them to the same height. If you do not have ... | |
| audio research sp-10 One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the 2Ci's have adjustments for the mid and treble drivers on the back of the speaker right near the cable connections. I would check these and make sure they are not set on the high side, e.g. +2 dB. I had 2Ci... |
