That Stax one, I wonder how many/well/badly they sold back in its day?

In relation to my previous comment about catching details clearly with highly articulated genre and hardly any with the others, I've been doing some experiments. I just wanted to know if I can really appreciate modern genre as much. So I sat and actually made a concious decision to "listen"...

Yes the clunk clunk clunk is the volume pot, but when I first got it I rotated it 3 or 4 dozen times and also over the weeks it softened up somewhat. The dial isn't exactly "tough" as such once you are gripping it, so the speed to bring it down is probably not the problem. If you are in an...

The strange symptoms - the overall dim playback from the 2nd day - persisted for about a week after that, till I began to think there may be something wrong with it. I turned it off for about a day and half and restarted, and it's been gone since. I might have had a freak incident or something...

Yeah of course I'll give it time Realistically I'd reckon a month is fair. I was expecting this sort of phase where an equipment misbehaves, and I still am, it's just that it's more abrupt and pronounced than I'm accustomed to. So I'm more perplexed. Not annoyed. I'm looking forward to the next...

I'm happy to report that I got my 19MK3 and C-2C Both were in the same box, well packaged. The timing seems alright. I paid in the 1st week of October (did I say 5th? can't remember), sent a reminder around 23rd, had it shipped on the 27th, and tracking looks like this: Code: Date Time...

Never had that happen. I don't think it has anything to do with static, but more to do with the sound buffering or driver issues. Not sure though, so your first task is to narrow it down, then go to an appropriate forum to ask. If it's a PC issue then you won't find a solution complaining about...

Yeah I know, most tracking is like that regardless of the carrier - generally tedious and more frustrating than helpful. Don't worry, I'm resigned enough to the fact that our planet Earth is still very large and I don't expect this to happen quickly It does help to know the precedence...

You two, don't scare me please In case anyone reading from the UK: After much digging around, it's come to my attention that EMS could potentially spend a couple of weeks before sending the items through customs in the UK, at which point it gets handed to Parcel Force. While Parcel Force...

userlander, I think he meant that C2C's power output is considerably higher with the respective impedance level, referring to your comment on 'more power'. It is interesting though how this comparison is going, isn't it. I start wiggling in my seat itching to get 5 more amps or something! Sadly...

Not the demonstration pic I saw...! All I could say was, my god, the technology has come a long way.
