Tube cd player
I have a Carver SD/A490t CD player , it uses two 6922 tubes on the output , sounds great with Gold Lion tubes . 
Where to go in Portland...
Echo Audio , great neighborhood , 2 blocks from Powell's books and great food carts , Voodoo donuts and Don and Louis Oysters .Fred's house of Music has a couple of listening rooms ,also great neighborhood .

barnettkGreat post and reading , may I suggest the Ayre CD calledIrrational, but Efficacious ! for " burning in " .400 hours for cables ?  I do believe when burning something in that turning the power on for a few or more hours and off is just as ... 
Is it all in my head??
Happy New Year AllNormally I wouldn't knock a manufacture but since one keeps being mentioned as being good I have to disagree .Pangea did not sound good to myself or a friend ( who rebuilds guitar tube amps ) , that includes both the power cords ...

waltertexasIf you like the Kimber cable sound and improvement then maybe you should stay with using Kimber cables and move up to a higher grade that they make .Synergy can be an elusive find , so changing cable manufactures could prove positive or...

Why Power Cables Affect Sound
mkgusIn my opinion you won't get the answer here because as jea48 justposted ( from a John Curl interview ) listen to what you hear ,if it sounds better to you then GOOD , if not then try something else .Experience in your system is the only way t... 
Discovering I may have the cleanest AC power in USA
Thank You Elizabeth Not only have you saved me some money but you are giving me some information ( I looked up Blu Tak ) and advise about using B T around the N Hs . Eventually we all have to say enough is enough or I'm done . 
Discovering I may have the cleanest AC power in USA
elizabethI have thought about a few more , so your going to 7 and experience with them is inspiring me to add a couple more .Have you tried listening to a passage over and over again by adding one at a time to hear the improvements ? I have 1 in t...

The CranberriesEverybody else is doing it , so why can't we ?I read about the Cranberries 25th anniversary vinyl release of their first CD , when I went to the " House Of Records " I found it along with a special pressing from the year before , bo... 
Discovering I may have the cleanest AC power in USA
