It is very easy to deal with. There are intake fan covers with foam filter
and they work VERY good. I have something like this running in my amp and it is
very clean inside after many years. https://www.amazon.com/MASSCOOL-Plastic-Cooling-Filter-F...

I was using a DeWalt charger that would take the batteries to 14.something which of course fell quickly when the amps were turned on. That one was a 30 amps charger the one I am using now is rated at 55 amps and goes through three modes of charging ...

As I grow old and nurse a fragile back, I too have a fantasy of a good sounding, lightweight TT (and amp, speakers for the matter).Every lightweight TT on the market makes me interested for this reason

I came across a mystery today that I have absolutely no explanation.
Like many others I like the Brahms #4 symphony. I have my favorite: my beloved Barbirolli with Vienna during the Musikvereinssaal 1967 . I also a big admirer of Carlo Maria G...

Heard this recording, by Valery Kuleshov on the Van Cliburn Competition 1993 disc, played on WFMT yesterday. A mezmerizing performance, fantastic arrangement, and superb sound. An Amazon reviewer writes:

[quote user="Paul S"].......By the way, Robin, when I referred to "Furtwangler's incomparable war time Beethoven 7" in my Neumann mic post a while back I of course meant his 9th. You mention how great performances "trump" the gear, or even the record...

I know, it makes sense to think about me in such a way because of not knowing more about me, but I definately have potential to get to good places in audio if I just had some things improved here and there... I have belief in my capability even ...

Eli, I do not think that it is PurePower objective to grab your money and to run. They are notorious with delays and it certainly might be unpleasant. With all due respect: 2 month delay is kind of nothing and if the unit does work as it expected th...

Why would you expect to hear something other than sales talk from salespersons? Even the producer is a salesman (or especially the producer). If they aren't moving product their time is being wasted. The only time I talk with them is when I have a sp...

A few years ago, hearing Romy's amazing FM recordings, the computer seemed a necessity. So now it is here, and it blesses and seduces.Jumping around playlists is sometimes a lot of fun. Quick comparisons and sudden thrills, and newness. Along with...

You decided to go with mA or are they mV against 1R resistors?
I prefer the second approach personally and I feel that I can moderate the quality

Scherchen's Moving Mozart Requiem, June 11, 2005I have little objectivity when it comes to this magisterial Scherchen account of Mozart's Requiem. My first versions on LP in the 1970's were Bruno Walter's and Sir Thomas Beecham's (the former now on ...
