| advice on amp - $3,500 maximum budget Any particular reason you started a new thread asking the same question you posted in another thread yesterday? | |
| Moscode 401 HR vs. 402 au vs. Butler TBD 2250 I don't know if it's a marketing gimmick or not, but as good as the 401HR is, the 401au is better IMO.I have heard the 401HR in comparison to the Butler 2250 and to me it's a toss up. They both are very nice amps. I think the Moscode has a slight ... | |
| advice on amp - $3,500 maximum budget I agree with Springbok10 and if I were you I'd consider the one for sale here direct from George Kaye. I'd even ask him for an in home trial on it, he may oblige:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1248109824&/Moscode-401HR---t... | |
| Suggest speaker cable for long run...? See here:http://dedicatedaudio.com/inc/sdetail/20951I've just made a set of the WLM DIY cables and will be trying those along with some other cables I'm making out of a 30' spool of Belkin PureAV Silver Series cable that uses solid core PCOCC copp... | |
| MDF vs. Steel Speaker Stands I agree with Chayro, the Skylan stands would work nicely. That is what I use with my Spendor 3/1 speakers. I mass loaded them with a combination of lead shot and kitty litter. | |
| Incredible deal for speaker cable bottom-feeders Well I needed a long run of speaker cable and unfortunately 12 ft. is the longest length for a finished cable. So I just ordered a 30 ft. roll:http://www.beachaudio.com/Belkin/Av53102-30-p-45132.htmlI found a picture of what the cable looks like e... | |
| Suggest speaker cable for long run...? I'm going down this road myself right now. I'm looking at a run of 18 - 20ft. though. So far I've looked at building a set of WLM speaker cables as seen here:White Lightning MoonshineI already have the two twenty foot runs so it should be easy to ... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? I can respect Muralman's opinions because I also felt that way at one time, but again there are benefits to OS designs IMO as well. Here is some interesting reading I have come across over the years (yes, perhaps embellished with some marketing la... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? I still am a big fan of NOS DACs even though I'm not using one right now. I don't agree with everything Muralman said about OS DACs, because again a lot is based on design. In my case my transport is slaved to my OS DAC so jitter is not really an ... | |
| NOS DAC or CDP? You could pair the Valab DAC with something like the Monarchy DIP. The Monarchy DIP is a jitter reduction device that is used between the transport and DAC. Good news is that you could get both and still be within your budget. However, its another... | |
| sand versus shot in speaker stands Kitty litter works too. | |
| $20 XLR cables that sound good I've had my share of cables in my system in all different price ranges. I do subscribe to the theory that there are differences in cables. However, I have come to the conclusion that while there are some excellent sounding high end (and high price... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp The old TRL preamps had the dual 45 step Shallco volume controls which was nice for fine adjustment. My TRL battery preamp uses these. If I upgrade to the Dude the 45 step attenuators are coming along for the ride. | |
| $20 XLR cables that sound good I think that Ralph's statement about cables is also contingent on balanced equipment being fully differential and following a 600 ohm standard. Not all balanced designs are created equal in this respect. I believe there is a white paper on the Atm... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Elizabeth, that is an interesting solution. I too live in an apartment. When you mention isolated single 20 amp in the kitchen, you're talking about an outlet correct? I assume you then plug the extension cord into this outlet. If you could elabor... |
