| Spare Bryston B60 for headphones, or 2nd system? Very interesting! Thanks. Actually I thought of posting this in the headphone section, but then I am totally open to using it with speakers as well, and I thought it might get differing opinions in this section too. If it’s a half decent headphon... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers The old AQ Truth are great cables, in truth. I wish they still made them. If I recall correctly even back then AQ controlled them for directionality. I had copper and silver versions of AQ Truth. Other than keeping connections nice and bright the ... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Well after 20 years with the same cables, this thread just had to get me considering purchases!Would one be able to say that cables wear out with time? I have some old Audiotruth, if anyone remembers them, which are better than lamp cord, but defi... | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. I agree with meadowman above, Rogue Audio makes a great product. I originally posted a suggestion looking at the Rogue Audio Sphinx, but it's a hybrid integrated, and I see you're running separates. I have the Sphinx and it absolutely rocks (I lis... | |
| #8 AWG spade connectors?? That's a pity I wasn't aware of that site/tool. I bought mine from another site recommended here in the chat. It all worked out though, and I hope to never have to remove the connectors or heat shrink. They are pretty bomb proof connectors and a g... | |
| #8 AWG spade connectors?? you looked at the site closer, you would have seen the tool they offer for the connectors. I went with the crimp style bananas, something about terminating with the set screws doesn’t appeal to me.Looking at your post from 3-22, was hoping you wou... | |
| Second audio system in your house? Oops, I meant Mini-X A-100 on that model number. | |
| Second audio system in your house? when you do the phones be sure to spring for a tube headphone amp. You needn't spend that much to get amazing soundActually I think it's going to happen before the second system! Any recommendations tostadosunidos? (Like your funny name) I was lo... | |
| No bass with new turntable? I know it's been over a month since anyone was on this thread but I thought I'd mention I had continuing problems with the crappy included interconnects, mostly ground hum and a loose inner connection at the RCA point. Just by touching it I would ... | |
| #8 AWG spade connectors?? Furez connectors installed! I bought the labeled heat shrinks and the whole enchilada, really happy with them. One word: big. But what a huge PITA the Allen wrench didn't come included. I think it was supposed to. I have quite an array of wrenches... | |
| Second audio system in your house? I'm super interested in the headphone area! I can see a set up in the house in the very near future. There's so many options/combinations it's almost overwhelming. I've been curious about the new Oppo stuff, Sennheiser, AKG, Shure, the list goes o... | |
| #8 AWG spade connectors?? I received the Furez spades, and my errant order from PartsExpress. Holy cow there is a huge difference between your standard plastic shielded, gold plated .001 ounce, regular spade - and the clearly audiophile grade, heavy copper spades! Not bash... | |
| Second audio system in your house? Yes I agree completely. I wouldn't put together a tube based system to just leave on in the background. I think there's plenty of other options for that. I'm planning on another system now for a room we have dedicated as an office, guest room and ... | |
| #8 AWG spade connectors?? Oh boy, thankfully that didn't happen to me. Unfortunately I learned about the Furez stuff late and already put a full order in with parts-express. So I guess I'll just dump that into the ever-growing pile of extra hifi stuff in the basement. :) | |
| Second audio system in your house? So, you're not sure it's a the sensible thing to do, but, "I won't even ask the wife what her opinion is, as I already know it." I take it that means you doubt she would be in favor of it. Uh, oh. See the thread on Audio - Post Divorce... ;)Yea... |
