| I sold a CAL Aria Tube CD player and buyer claims a burning smell Though one can ascribe all sorts of chicanery to either party in a deal gone bad, it’s been my experience that most buyers and sellers are pretty honest and straightforward. Disputes that I’ve been involved in have been more a matter of misunders... | |
| Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s) No mention yet?One of the best has to be Helen Caunt, ex Penthouse Pet, with Fancy, "singing" Wild Thing in 1974. I thought she ended up running a bakery or something in England, I'll have to do more research.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxGKd... | |
| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? I think another aspect is that, as I understand it, digital and vinyl are mastered differently, so of course they will sound different.The mathematician in me can understand the theory of digital, and some of the higher sampling rates should theor... | |
| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade I’ll add a few opinions, although I’m not a professional electrician or a NEC expert.First, I’d heed tvad’s suggestion about a circuit to the garage. I put in a 50 amp 240V circuit when I had my house built, yes with the plan to get an EV (which I... | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! @jea48 It was the 5/8/2020 at 5:38 p.m. post:" So if the AHJ, (Authority Having Jurisdiction), in your area requires conduit must be used do not install more than one dedicated circuit in a conduit. If you do there is a good chance you will end up... | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Definitely appreciate @spenav and the link to Mr. Galbo’s recommendations. I’ve always been wanting the 240V circuits, but everybody says that’s beyond extreme. But they do it other places, so why not in the U.S.? @jea48 mentioned using Al wire in... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Here’s a few of those obscure ones:Wild Thing, NOT by The Trogs that everybody knows, you have to find the version by Fancy. I was 14, need anything else be said?Low Spark of High Heeled Boys by TrafficBack in the day, Flat as a Pancake by Head Ea... | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Needless to say I am not here to help anyone with quantity. You decide you are back to seeking quality, if ever you were, you know where to go. What might not have been apparent besides the high price though is that the people there at better-reco... | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Maybe this is the right time to ask.There is a dynamic range of records database: http://dr.loudness-war.info/ Is it possible to just look there for the widest dynamic range for either the CD or vinyl if that is what you want?For example, there ... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio OK, I did finally wade through the entire mess, but it is very interesting, or else I just lead a dull life. I’d be interested to hear what @thyname thinks, which seems to be that Alex/Uptone is being improperly maligned. I am now of the opinion t... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio Following up with @thyname,OK, this will take awhile to go through, but thanks for the link to the full history.I caught enough to see that at first mikey8811 wanted a used or demo unit, but it promises to get more interesting after that. | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio Ummm, no @thyname , the warranty on the old LPS-1 was definitely not void and thus worthless as thyname implies, "when the OP agreed to pay $250 for the new LPS-1.2 in lieu of any warranty claims / work on the LPS-1." You may have read the entire ... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio I’m thinking mikey8811’s story is slightly more believable, at this point, although in the end it seems Alex was the one harmed.So he bought a used LPS1. Alex at Uptone Audio seems to focus on this, but it really doesn’t matter what mikey8811 paid... | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? I’m not an expert with credit cards dealing as a merchant, but I think if it is a disputed charge there are negative repercussions to the merchant. I think there is a fee they’ll have to pay, and their "reputation" will be hurt with the credit car... | |
| More questions about dedicated lines OK, not to promote issues on Christmas Eve, and understanding that millercarbon's comment(s) could and should be a bit more polite, he did raise a point that I have wondered about.The suggestion was to have a battery bank, which agreed with what t... |
