I'm going to make a off the top of my head guess. Those settings are in regards to loads the preamp will see from a Turntable

This may have been brought up but I didn't see it. Most of the LT turntables listed here were new in the 80's. to answer the question properly the current condition needs to be at the top of the list. All LT's are more complex than a standard turntable. There are a lot of LT's out there...

So it sounds like these speakers have got you under their spell. Soon they will be having you replace and upgrade everything else to please them. I know from experience

Welcome I've had a pair of AR9's in my man cave for close to two years. They are the ruler over all the lesser pieces of electronics in my system.

Rented a PT Cruiser once. I like small cars, but the driving experience of that turd made me think about walking.

Please tell me more about those speakers. I would think if they are efficient they are not sealed boxed. Are they ported and where is the port located? Or is the rear cover very porous.

I believe the key component in going from a computer to an analog stereo is the DAC, The computer may have a built in DAC but of questionable quality. A quality stand alone DAC can be found for less than $100. The DAC plugs into a USB on the computer and the output would connect to your...

Are you on the Eastern Shore?

I can imagine that the past owner had no idea how to locate somebody who really wanted those Towers. So he just leaves them in place when he next moves And his wife is very happy about it.

electronic area of one of the hardware store chains. Lowes,Home Depot. They may still have cheap cables that should work fine.

Can't argue with a good regulated solder iron. And to getting a good wire cutter. My next favorite tool is a Dremel hand grinder.

1961 Corvair 900. 3spd stick on the floor between "bucket" seats. I remember being beat by a VW Karman Ghia in a stoplight drag. Getting over 65 involved hanging on for dear life. Worst suspension I've ever driven.

Another Milwaukee boy here. I have a foul ball that Hank hit at Milw County Stadium. one of my most prized possessions. My dad caught it. Never worried about getting it signed. I know what it is. Will never sell it. Everybody in my family remembers that it was hammering Hank who hit it. I...

I've read quite a few biographies of musicians who are overwhelmed when big money starts roiling in. Sometimes the IRS ends up collecting their share after years of mismanagement, Drugs become a huge problem. David Crosby's autobiography is a good example of all the weird things that happen.

Obtained speakers for the man cave that needed some power. They came with a Hafler D500, Which had the power and sounded good. I was curious as to what a different amp would sound like... Hafler D-500 Yamaha M-65 B&K Reference Onkyo H-504 I also have a Adcom 6000 for doing multi-channel I...

I test drove a 60's era P1800. Very pretty, but slow steering and under powered. It had the soul of a sedan

Well I think that I've gotten to my personal sweet spot for equipment. But now I notice that I really dislike the sound from some recordings. I just need to worry about it as much.

Just make sure you're using the most expensive cables you can afford. Why does the horrible Dallas Cowboy football team get so much love?

Yes, A part of memories from my youth.

I have two but I'm tired of: 2-3 hour warm up, limited time that they should be left on, they don't age well. Now I've got two Himalayan Salt Lamps that should be a lot less maintenance.

Depends if you're looking for your "fore ever speakers" or willing to use the best that you can currently, along with keeping an eye open for upgrades. Either way can be expense. I had been going the 2nd route. I had multiple pairs of EPI speakers. They were replaced by a set of Fried...

:lurk:

When I moved into my current home 12 years ago I promised myself that I would downsize all my stuff before I move again. Hard to say when the next move happens. My best reason to rip my vinyl was to force myself to listen to records that I hadn't played in a long time. After ripping my folk...

Early in my acquisition process I drove 30 miles from home to look at some Pioneer speakers. Didn't give them much of a listen and they were some of the lightest tower speakers I had ever come across. But I was determined to spend my money. They sounded like lightweight speakers. Not good...
