    Seeking Advanced degree in How to Make Sense of it

    Welcome aboard! As has been noted - capacitors do go bad over time so a refresh is worth considering. I'm not a fan of the one set of Klipsch Heresys I became familiar with through a donation of a bunch of recording studio gear at the university where I work, but those in the know here who have...

    what are you listening to?

    Like the idea of expanding horizons. Not so sure about Queen. Enjoyed the film - it's a great story - but never cared for the music. And it's one of those that I can't explain why I don't like it other that I heard them too much when they were played on the radio.

    WOPL 400 Linda Linda

    Before my father-in-law retired to a golf course in South Carolina, he commuted 1.5 hours each way, every day, from the Jersey shore to Newark. Didn't matter if he used his car or the train. 1.5 hours.

    Bob Weir Passed

    The Dead was one concert that got away from me - should have made an effort to travel somewhere, somehow, to see them. Great band, not everything they did was a favorite but I'd say a concert or two would have helped me appreciate them more. Still, great songwriter, great musician and from all...

    Anybody Familiar with Janszen Speakers

    Indeed. Thanks for that history! Amazing story.

    Carver C-4000

    That sounds kind of like the old Dyna Quad circuit from Dynaco. It came in a stand alone box or as a circuit in the SCA-80Q integrated amp which could be switched in and out. Wonder how close it really is?

    Had a moment to listen this evening. Pretty good album. My cartridge picks up a few more ticks than the son-in-law's but overall it's still in good shape. HIghlights are the Peter Gunn theme and listening to them distill 40-plus minutes of Pictures At An Exhibition into a 15 minute finale.

    Hello! Nice to be here. Check out what I found at the flea market for $60

    Agreed, 1000 percent. Keep it dusted off and keep that case displayed prominently.

    Look, Ma, No Computer!

    Thanks! This one has a front panel USB port, as well, so a computer/SSD/stick hookup is not out of the question. I have the streaming apps on my phone but like the larger screen of the iPad in the web browser (it's too old to run the apps). I found one - need to check it out to see if it can...

    Another Phase Linear 3300 Series 2 Pre Amp

    The rest of us enjoyed the journey and the popcorn. Glad you found and fixed the issue!

    Look, Ma, No Computer!

    Indeed. If there is a method, I've not found it yet but I've not played with it too much. I've tried leveling all files but the differences between Amadeus', Adobe Audition's, and my purchased file's loudness algorithms mean that things still aren't perfectly leveled and I had to adjust Media...

    Funny pictures...

    Concrete floors are a definite benefit for damping vibration. One reason I built out this little room downstairs - didn't want everything sitting on the rack on a wood floor.

    Look, Ma, No Computer!

    Thanks on the tuner. I found it from my local repair guy - Scott Grammer at Red Bank Vintage Audio. He has a few pieces up for sale every now and then and yes, it's a nice tuner. Maybe not a T-1 or T-2 but pretty nice nonetheless. And on to a quick report on the sound of this rig. I think...

    Look, Ma, No Computer!

    Just a 2 TB Glyph drive between a Pro-Ject DAC and a Po-Ject Streamer. Glyph plugs into the streamer, streamer plugs into the DAC. Both are powered, Glyph draws power from the streamer via USB. Pat's old iPad controls it all through an exclusive web page. I actually don't miss the JRiver...

    Tell me more about your tuner and your favourite channel.

    I'm in Louis' neck the woods and WSMC is the station I listen to when I listen. UTC's NPR affiliate lost me years ago with too many repeats of the same programming. Morning Edition from 8-10 am, then repeats from 10 am to noon because it's easier to sell that than music. Same in the afternoon...
