| Primer on horns Wow: Ezmaraldo, fascinating post (as always) and now onto the thread. Pete: Your space seems a bit small to optimize traditional horn systems unless you can place them near the short wall and be seated approx. 3', or so, from the opposing wall (mo... | |
| phono stage volume Phono preamps can require turning up the volume (over other sources). You might try making certain that the interconnects and other cables are tidy and "separated from one another" as much as possible in order to reduce the system's noise level an... | |
| Why doesn't Audiogon have some guidelines? Gary: I add "sale pending" until it is a done deal. For more popular items I have received emails following this update and always reiterate with individual emails, later on, confirming that the item has definately been sold. It's reasonable to pu... | |
| Vantage Cables From U. K . Very impressive Hi Ozzy: I have two different models of Vantage PC's that I am running in right now for audition (should have some results in 4-5 weeks). Guess the "buzz" involves skipping across "the pond" if you are here in the US as myself. These are silver ca... | |
| Looking for warmth,openess, detail Johhny: You do not mention budget, but take a look at the OTA thread (do a search of "Sakura" and/or "OTA"). The kit will wire your entire system (speaker cables and IC's) for $600 and you should have enough cable left over for future configuratio... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? David: You failed to mention that it is the X-Files division hot on your trail (for drilling holes and placing sand in your tube preamp:-). | |
| I know Audiogon is the best for buying and selling I list here because I like the page design, it's easy to include a photo in the ad and also because I am familiar with the drill. I may try AA next, though, both out of curiosity and because they have gone to the trouble of recently including clas... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Crap: I rewired the TT again today and am getting a low level hum in "both" channels (it was very silent before). I will completely redo it in a couple of weeks if I cannot trace it to a bad joint (hope that I did not screw up the tone arm cables,... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? Charles: I am forced to use an "internet pseudonym" as I am rich, famous and extremely sexy (same as "Tim the Tire Guy":-). Nothing underhanded about it. | |
| Smoke coming from transformer means........anyone? Yes, a Variac is a needed for vintage gear that has been out of service for awhile and/or recapping a piece. I am in the market for good used one right now. As Clueless mentions the caps can hold high amperage charges for long periods of time and ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Slawney: Is there a website for MEC? I have not heard of them. I tried ferrite magnets a year or so ago with various cables (not the OTA) and found them to supress the HF's (less noise, but also less music). These were not high ticket magnets, but... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? Charles: Seems more bizarre than sleazy/scummy to me (unless of course he kept allowing his robe to slip open on purpose). The amps are popular and will sell in time. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Styx: "Furor" hardly describes this product's following, with but a handful of online users/owners sharing notes. What was it that you actually meant to say? Please spit it out in a pattern that I can understand. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Thanks "B" and Slawney for the updates. If I can swing another kit after "things" settle on the homefront I will consider hooking up satelite speakers in our bedroom (which would be much less expensive than using a separate system), thus the "long... | |
| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? Thanks for the link Mezmo, just ordered one. |
