| Analysis plus ova 9‘S vs. Kimber cable 8tc’s. I have Kimber 8TC on my Magnepan 20.7s.. They are all I need. What it would cost to really better them? Plenty. | |
| Quiet Enjoyment: right of audiophiles neighbors to NOT be annoyed I read the 'turn it up a little bit more' and think of the people playing music, involved in running disputes with neighbors... who get shot for refusing to stop playing loud music.Plus the 'quiet enjoyment' laws are not negated from 9AM to 10PM.I... | |
| The Science of Cables I would dd the type of thinking each contributor does is how some posts have that religious fervor,and some are dry as dust. Some ramble on repeating the same drivel. Some folks rely on the physical senses to make meaning of the World. Some think ... | |
| Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place? Seems someone is suddenly showing the spirit of Spiro Agnew? | |
| Quiet Enjoyment: right of audiophiles neighbors to NOT be annoyed The unleashing would mean the audiophile would want to unleash some repressed whatever... I have no need to play Beethoven sonatas at 110dB. Nor String quartets.. Nor Miles Davis either. Really the only music needing to be played in any way loud t... | |

| Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place? A question about the internal sonic effects in Al's theoretical 'some' preamps. Now if the actual electronics were creating the change. Then it would 'always' be one position which gave the apparent sort of signal. And the other position also woul... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs Yes. non shorting plugs are fine even on output RCA. They have no central plug (or a plastic one) which will not damage the electronics. So yes OK to use non shorting plugs on Tape out etc. | |

Agree reverse phase the music lacks clarity, and yes the bass is messed up a bit. As far as the comment that equipment with reversed pola... | |
| Anyone had the equipment customized ? Once I rebuilt the crossovers for speakers I owned. Once was enough. I did buy a preamp which also was previously upgraded by the designer. Works good. I would not swap caps or diodes... Though I wish I had the interest to replace wired in cords ... | |
| Record cleaning and care I wash a few of all used LPs IN THE SINK. Some I just use a vacuum cleaner (like the one for the floor) So now you know...Cheap alternative would be to use Aquafina bottled water as a rinse. It is pure H2O. all contaminants removed. I have thousan... |
