| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? The fact that Miguel has sold quite a few Troy units (an owner of which now owns 3 Mojo audio power cords AND is looking for an isolation TX) should attest to the fact that it is worth $12k in enough systems for him to be able to sell it.MintzarI ... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Now, what it CAN do is help reduce noise from the single most common source of noise in audio systems, and that's interchassis leakage currents in the safety ground lead of the power cables.Simply_qExactly, and while I agree it's a band aid, it's ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I heard a Redgum integrated recently, it sounded quite good and was well built. | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Simply_q, here you go: http://www.tripointaudio.us/PRODUCTS.htmAudion member Himiguel is the manufacturer. I've had several conversations with him prior to him starting his business so I was pretty aware of his grounding technology and when Ben in... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Well now that we've got that debate behind us, and a lot faster than the previous Simply-q versus Herman masterpiece match-up, I'll be happy to share a cat photo of my own:clio | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Zendent7,He's been posting here of late so I doubt he is on vacation. I suspect your email may be getting caught in a spam filter. George usually responds to emails within a day or two.I bought mine from George using PayPal. I don't think he takes... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Is all this Western Electric NOS wire covered in cloth or silk? Does any of the wire have an alternative coating? While the manufacturer states he uses a military spec wire, I'd be concerned if it was of the cloth/silk covered variety. I have seen... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? georgehifi@optusnet.com.auThis is the email I use to contact George. Between the Stereophile article and a few recent threads I'm sure his time has been a little more consumed than normal. Also, you might be going into a spam filter. Hopefully he'... | |
| mogami interconnects I like them. The construction method you described is a good one where the shield is floated at one end. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Interesting point, I'd be interested in someone confirming that. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Paul,To me, if 2V plays loud enough then go with the lower of the two voltages. Why use a jackhammer to drive a nail. 2V was plenty for the RM-10, Auricle Music Blocs, and S-30, and the S-30 had nearly 3 times the sensitivity rating as the other t... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Bill,While the 3V output of the CDP is quite sufficient, the output impedance is 220 ohms single ended. George may need to weigh in here on how that might affect the matching between CDP and Lightspeed. It should work as typically you want a ratio... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Bigkidz - did you buy this product? If so what are your opinions about it?For reference:http://cgi.ebay.com/10-AWG-WESTERN-ELECTRIC-WIRE-AC-POWER-CORD-AUDIOPHILE-/320536607615?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item4aa1787b7forhtt... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Bill -Go to the Arthur Salvatore site and read the instructions for the test (see link). There are test instructions for LP and CDP. Ravel's Bolero is a good track to use because it has low passages at the start that will not cause damage.You're r... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? And don't forget all interconnects and speaker cabling have some resistance this should be added to the input impedance of the load, this is why one should not use hair thin cabling as it has more resistance and adds the load resistance.Georgelofi... |
