I had one once, Audio Control. Used it for a short time. It added noise as I recall. No sense in messing with signal purity. Fix the issues with different speakers, components, positioning etc. But every vinyl lover has one, and some are adjustable. The phono preamp. Speakers are also "EQ'd" in...

Never had an MC cart and the Denon DL-103 seems to be a universally agreed upon as good. I get that you don't buy replacement styli, not something I want to focus on, just the aspects of the sonic benefits. The Bellari VP-130 I have has been decent, they make the MT502 step up transformer...

After some initial testing, research, and a bunch of conversations with Larry, I finally decided to buy one of these. I decided to locate a dealer though Shure, rather then flea-bay one and ended up at B&H. The price at the time, and as I write this is $66.99 with free shipping. Nice price...

Guys, If I swapped this old idler out with another old one, would I run some risk on uneven wear on the shaft/bearing?

I'm currently messing with this changer, I got it oiled and playing. However, when the changer functions try to engage, it slows to a stop. Doesn't seem to be enough torque. If I help/push the record along, it will finish performing the functions. I think the idler drive is slipping as it is old...

To move the clocks back.

While trying to achieve better sound in my system, I was looking to vinyl. I tried a bunch of different things and I think you can hit a real "sweet spot" with just about any format. I do like the vinyl format. I like the activity, the feel and look of media in your hand, and, when you get it...

I picked up an SL-1800 for $25 bucks today. It's a heavy, sprung, DD turntable. Has a "DJ" looking platter with controls in dial form. The speed seemed very stable after playing it for a minute or 2. Seems like the plinth is metal. Pic from the net, here...

I'm going to guess that at least a few of you folks know about this, but I just read it for the first time. I think this is amazing. http://www.stereophile.com/content/carver-challenge

Anyone here using them?

Larry, I know you like Morel. I do too - of what I have heard. I have a pair of MDT33 floating around and some 6". The MDT30s also looks like a real nice tweeter. This is an easy drop-in on these old Snells. The Seas 8" woofers are the closest match to the Snells (prestige paper cone...

I got my first A/V job and it was as a commission salesman in '95. Soon after hire, I found the company liked to have it's own little version of CES. They would take over a Hotel and have all their vendors come with there best product and really wow us with demonstrations. Then it happened -...

Hey all, I have owned this integrated for about a year and a half now and it's been really pleasant to listen too. Being that it was my first tube purchase, I was a bit nervous, especially because I usually don't spend this kind of money on any gear, new or otherwise, and this was new. My...

Anyone ever buy from them? Experience?

I've been gawking at their kits for quite sometime. The relationship with Snell is interesting to me as an old fan. http://www.audionotekits.com/newSpkr.html The speaker kits are essentially a drop in to the Snell EII that I own, nearly identical as the AN/E is based off of these (save the...

I've done a bunch before but always I removed the dust cap to shim the voice coils. I'm thinking I might start to work on these old vifa 8" drivers that came with the Snell EII. However, I am seeing these replaced without removing the dust caps. Looks like you can attach the surround to the...

I saw this and I thought someone here might be interested http://www.ebay.com/itm/TANDBERG-3014A- ... 6rk%3D2%26" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I found this a few years ago and felt like it would be fun to work on this. After just hearing of the companies closure, I thought it might be cool to post this project. I actually found the manual for this with the foldout. You can see here it's pretty ancient. I would not recommend even...

When I was a kid, I went to church with my family and I remember this big uproar about devil music. Man, my older brother was so wigged out about it he must have destroyed like 200-300 albums one day out in the back of our house. I thought it was a bit insane, but all through school and my...
