| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I find it best not to ask questions to folks who’ve been in the audio hobby for a long time. In fact, as soon as someone says, “I’ve been in this hobby for 30 years and you can believe me when I say...”, I’m out. Best to avoid all the misinformati... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... That would be a good trick since, you know, the Cable Cooker is for uh, cables. The Burn In Track off the XLO Test CD might work. Yeah, that’s the ticket! On second thought, the Cable Cooker COULD be made to burn in fuses. | |

| Why is the snake oil topic closed? That’s the way it goes. In any case, knowledge is what’s left after you subtract out all the stuff you forgot from school, anyway. He not busy being born is busy dying. - old audio axiom | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube For the record I had two ‘52 Sylvania Badboys and one ‘42 Tung Sol rectifier tube in my pure tube headphone amp. All were cryo’d by Cryopro. Great sound. Long life. I was one of the very first to employ a cryo lab on a regular basis and also one o... | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Jitter, I recommend you spend 48 hrs in the garage. Slow thaw. Let us know how it works out. | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Jitter, actually I agree with what you said. Which is that you don’t understand the whole process. Alas, this is what oft happens when inexperience runs smack into experience. Oops, did I just say that? | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Correcto Mundo! Nobody ever said trial and error was a good idea. I have said it wasn’t a good idea like forever for speaker placement. You have to have a method. Trial and error is like trying to solve N simultaneous equations in N + x unknowns. ... | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Cryo’d Tubes don’t have a shorter lifespan. That’s an old wives tale. Cryogenic treatment of any material improves durability and longevity. It doesn’t make them more brittle or any such thing. What it does do for tubes is decrease ringing and imp... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Actually I just wrote on the subject of audio and entropy in the last five days on one of the threads here. Oh, the Michael Fremer thread. What you’re describing is actually not really entropy. It’s simply losses in transfer from the master tape t... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I find that humble, simple in operation, Sony Walkman cassette players sound very good. I’m using several different models with Grado headphones and also titanium headphones from Radio Shack. I even have the Professional Walkman. There’s something... | |
| Himalayan SALT Lamp I’ll give you another insight into what they do. Nothing. The salt lamps are supposed to work via pyroelectric effect, giving off charged ions when heated. The only problem is the lamp provided doesn’t get the salt hot enough to produce ions. And ... | |
