Cardas Twinlink speaker cable polarity I can't see why it would make a difference. Just use the same color at both the amp & spkr with the same polarity. | |
Ever check the Wanteds? I sold one thing through a wanted ad years ago. Usually what I have for sale doesn't mesh but I do look. | |
Any vintage tuners with a small footprint? I had a Sony ST-80W that was quite compact. I'd guess it was about the size of a large box of pop tarts on its side. It does an ok job as a tuner.Should be able to get one around $25 or so. If you're interested, send me an email & I'll send yo... | |
tuners, the red headed stepchild? My garage system is tuner only. I have 3 antenna's hooked up in the rafters so I get static free, long distance (if required) reception.It's exactly what I need when I'm out there, as I don't have time to fiddle around when I'm working on somethin... | |
Cd transport isolation I'm currently doing some experimenting with my CDP & although I've been using isolation devices for years, just last week I used dynamat & covered the entire top & sides. This is on an older Rotel RCD-855, so I'm not worried about how ... | |
anyone gotten a scratch on component and gone mad Back in 2000 I bought a used Aleph P and couldn't believe how scratched up it was. Every surface had something wrong with it, including the knobs. I got it for such a low price I was just going to live with it until I found out one of the inputs d... | |
RCA and XLR shorting plugs?? As Dgaylin mentioned, Cardas does make real shorting caps and they do work. I was getting some cross talk from my VTL pre and put the shorting caps in my unused inputs & that solved the problem The caps you usually see simply keep the jacks cl... | |
Any suggestions for top-end home-made cables? Check out the cable asylum at AA. Make sure to search the archives too. | |
Changing the flavor of gear How charmingly acerbic of you to say that!I guess you didn't read my last paragraph. | |
Shorten those lengthy power cords? I see once again there is a tendency for some of the posters to state their superfluous views & turn this thread into another cable bashing, personal decision deriding campaign.The OP did mention the possibility of using better ends, so I take... | |
Shorten those lengthy power cords? If you go the DIY route, check out the Chris V website. There's a ton of info on what PC fits which application, how to measure, different recipes + all the parts.For a basic power cord, I suggest getting some 12/3 Carol cable at Home Depot & ... | |
High-value ICE offerings or Ayre V3, ARC 100.2 Over a period of several years, I had a V-3 then both the V-5x then V-1xe. I put a V-3 back in my system (to see how it compared) & although it really is a good amp, it couldn't even come close. (I suppose I'd been spoiled by both the V-5x &am... | |
integrated or separates...on a $1200 price point? You can actually get a good powerful amp & quality pre at $1200, but then you'll need another PC & another set of IC's. That's something to be considered, although those can be had for a bargain too.It can be done but you'll have to do som... | |
New amp Since you're mentioning this combo, I take it you like the sound of both, so there's a good chance it will work sound-wise. I have a VTL pre and had both BAT amps & pre, but just not at the same time. From what I can remember sonically, I thin... | |
Standmount speakers - alternatives to spikes? My experience has been to decouple the spkr. from the stand & have had great results using Herbie's Footers. For the stand itself, I've always used spikes to keep them in place but if you want to decouple, I would go with either the Herbie's o... |
