| Product to fill up speaker/audio stands and racks I prefer not to use sand. Unless you get a well dried silica sand, the moisture in it can aid in rotting your metal stands from the inside out.Go to a reloading shop and get some lead shot. Cheap enough, extremely dead and doesn't make a mess. Jus... | |
| tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr? I'm running my JRs with a BAT VK60 for the moment and it is working out extremely well. No signs of compression or strain, even at moderately high volumes.Being only moderately efficient, I think the speakers can benefit from being fed more power,... | |
| HDCD question..... In order to use the HDCD capability of your Rotel, you'll have to bypass the Samsung processing and connect to the Rotel through a coaxial or optical digital cable. It's a 'one or the other' thing. | |
| Battubes....the begining Actually, you can cross the 6DJ8 off your list. According to Victor: "We do not recommend the 6DJ8's because they overstress the filament supply - our circuits are designed for 6922's, that have better electrical specs." That should help narrow yo... | |
| assistance - need to power VSA-VR4jr Don't tell anyone I said so, but word is that the DK integrated has an impressive synergy with the 4JRs. Do a search and you'll find a number of people who were shocked at how well these two worked together. The price for a brand new DK dovetails ... | |

| Need advice on speaker cables Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'll point you to your answer: "A friend told me that this cable can cause amplifier instability; is this true?".The Zobel AlphaCore supplies is a simple heat-shrunk RC network just a bit longer than the span betwee... | |
| Need advice on speaker cables I should have mentioned, in case you aren't already aware, that the Goertz cables are likely to require a Zobel network(if not, install them anyway; they won't hurt anything.) They are included with the cables, but be sure to ask for them specific... | |
| Need advice on speaker cables Take some Nordost flat cable, fold it in half, cut the price by 80% and there you have...Goertz MI2. Best kept secret in audio. | |
| Need long ICs that sound like KCAG The long lengths of twisted-unshielded can work, but it will depend upon your electrical environment. What are the possible 'contaminants' in close proximity to your runs? If there are many and you have to use that kind of length, then I would cer... | |
