    Are Isolation Platforms Effective

    I use isolation platforms under my TT and tubed power amps. IMO they improve the sound of those devices. I seem to have less background noise coming through the vinyl playing process. There are definately fewer microphonics coming from my output tubes. I don't know if they are really needed...

    LPs

    www.needledoctor.com has Nitty Gritty machines starting at $255. The lower priced machines are manual operation (ie:you apply cleaning fluid and rotate the LP by hand) but do just as good a job as the more expensive automatic ones. :cool:

    LPs

    A great source for used vinyl is www.musicstack.com . My buddies and I have almost always found what we were looking for no matter how far out. If you are serious about buying used vinyl a record cleaning machine is almost a necessity. If you buy boxes of vinyl on the cheap they always need...

    Best Recordings for Critical Listening?

    IMHO Jacintha Here's To Ben Minimally miked and recorded with no overdubs. I can hear/feel the room the musicians performed in. Her voice is clean clear and just right there. Holly Cole Shade Overdubbed and studio sounding but very clean. Holly's voice is one that records well...

    Question about Magnepans

    With Maggy's the more power you have the louder and cleaner they will play. My buddies MG2A's where not satisfying to him with a 100 Watt Adcom power amp. He switched to a 250 Watt Adcom and was happy. That same Adcom is serving quite well with his new Maggy 3.6R's. As far as ESL's go, my...

    Quick question about OHMS

    There are amplifiers that do double their output as the load in ohms is decreased. A good example is Krell. Krell's big class-A amplifiers double their power as the output impedence is lowered. ie 100 watts into 8 ohms, 200 watts into 4 ohms, 400 watts into 2 ohms, 800 watts into 1 ohm. Of...

    I've got a TEAC 3340 1/4" 2 track it only runs at 71/2 and 15 ips but it sounds really sweet. I don't use it much anymore but it sure looks impressive on the rack. Maybe I'll bring it out of the closet. :cool:

    One of my friends has a pair of Super Zero's with a Cambridge sub. He got the NHT's on a deal and the sub through a scratch and dent sale. I don't really like the white laminate the Zero's are wrapped in but for the money? Very nice sound for the money. The Super Zero's sound quite good. :cool:
