    Lyra delos

    Congrats! Speaking as a long-time Lyra owner, I'm not surprised you like the Delos!

    Welcome from a fellow Canuck!

    CLX odyssey begins.... now!

    I think Justin means that they're toroidal transformers (and the the two things behind it are capacitors). Presumably, part of a power supply. (I assume you know what a transformer does--and I don't mean the kind that Michael Bay would put in a movie!)

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    It's an easy mistake to make, so no worries! :-)

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    For the record, nor do I! I think you might be confusing me (RichTeer) with my namesake (Rich).

    Marantz TT-15S1, Clearaudio Concept? or Rega P5

    I'm not familiar with the other TTs you mention, but I did have the TT-15S1 here for a while (see the review in Issue 3 of the mag). I thought it was pretty good (make sure you use the mat), although I can't say how it stacks up against the competition. One thing though, I'm not sure how easy...

    New Summit X Review in TAS - Better than any dynamic speaker under $40K

    I'd be interested in hearing your thought on my reviews. Sometimes, when I re-read a piece, I think that I'm being overly critical. But I do try to find something positive to say. This may be naive of me and commercial suicide, but if I receive a piece of gear for review that I think sucks...

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    Let's not shoot the messenger, guys. As an official ML rep, Justin has to ensure that what he says is as accurate as possible, and that might mean delays in answering direct questions while he seeks the correct answer and/or permission to post it.

    CLX odyssey begins.... now!

    My condolances. :-( Whenever I have a choice, I ship with Fedex. I've witnessed and heard too many UPS horror stories to trust them with high value items...

    Turntable Owners?

    Not only do I have a turntable, it's the only permanent source in my system. There is a CD player in the house, but it rarely gets hooked up. I don't see the point in wasting time listening to CD when I have so many records to play! Like Tim and co, I've used my TT rather more than once this...

    Jim Smith Get Better Sound DVD

    I'm currently reading Get Better Sound so that I can review it in the mag. Once that's done I might try to get a copy of the DVD, in which case I'll try to answer that question (assuming noone else does first!).

    Long speaker wire or long RCAs?

    Bummer. Hopefully nothing too bad caused this... Does that mean that your Oracle Delphi might never see the light of day? If so, I have a friend who might be interested in buying it if you're willing to part with it. PS Glad to see that whatever happened didn't stop you from babbling. Now...

    Long speaker wire or long RCAs?

    Huh? Do I read you correctly, that you've decided not to pursue HT or audio any more as a hobby? Tell me I'm mistaken, for what could precipitate such a decision?!

    Any tips on Soundproofing an existing wall?

    Check out Roxul acoustic foam to replace your existing insulation (assuming there is some!). If you want to go further, use 5/8" gyprock sheets (double layers sandwiching Green Glue if possible and within your budget) for your wall.

    Long speaker wire or long RCAs?

    Agreed, although unbalanced is also an option (I use 6m unbalanced interconnects between my preamp and mono blocks, which are on the floor near my Spires).

    Turntable high frequency is rolled off...

    You're very welcome, and I'm glad I could help! Make sure that you don't go below the manufacturer's recommended minimum VTF setting. Also, be aware that records are probably damaged more often by tracking too lightly than too hard (the stylus chatter caused by mistracking is very hard on...

    Turntable high frequency is rolled off...

    I've no direct experience with the PH-3 so your theory might be on the money. Something else to (re)check is your cartridge alignment, tracking weight, and especially VTA. Rolled off highs might be a sign that your VTA is a bit too low, so try raising the rear of your tonearm a bit to see if...

    Thanks for your kind words! If you're ever out my way (Kelowna, BC) let me know so that we can arrange a visit...

    System #290 (Spire)

    Hi Todd, Thanks for dropping by! I love my ProLogue Sevens, and have no regrets! They still float my boat, although I am always eyeing up upgrade options. Right now, though, my highest priority upgrade is a new cartridge. My Parnassus still sounds wonderful, but at around 15 years old, I'm...

    Holiday music! That's right, I said it.

    This Wikipedia article makes a good counterpoint, in which the X is related to the Greek symbol for Christ, and has long been used by Christians in place of Christ for various purposes. Me, I call it Christmas but usually write Xmas for brevity. If people of other religions want to refer to...
