| Getting all new cables and need sugestions Can you solder? For speaker and IC cables, some Radio Shack connectors and some CAT5 cable from Home Depot will make some pretty good cables for a whole lot less than you are looking to spend, and outperform commercial cables you can buy in your b... | |
| What cables should match the Sun audio SV2A3 I recommend Mit Oracle v1.1 speaker cables at $16,000 and Mit Oracle v1.1 interconnects at $5,000.My point? Do you have a budget? | |
| Hum with VTL's Evidently there is a ground path missing somewhere without the RCA cables. There is no standard for XLR connectors or balanced cables. Some have a line connected to chassis ground and some do not. Evidently somewhere in your system it does not sin... | |

The quality of parts will be higher than a commercial amp and the sound will be incredible. He can build it to... | |
| Hum with VTL's Using the RCA cables grounds one chassis to the other. Using the balanced evidently does not. Either the balanced sockets are floating on one or both ends or your balanced cables don't have a connection from end to the other for the body of the sh... | |

| help, fried a resistor Resistors very seldom just burn up on their own. Something else failed that drew too much current and burned up the resistor. The most likely suspect is the tube it was attached to so that tube should be replaced too. Some will claim that differen... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? There is no way that this device can extract information from the disc that isn't there. The data on the disc can be manipulated in various ways when it is re-recorded to change the sound when it is played back, but it is a distortion of the origi... | |
| order of improving sound quality in system? I also used to adhere to the philosophy that you should start with the source, which is a very logical assumption, but after trying it both ways I came to realize that the colorations introduced by average speakers will be far greater than those i... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? The Positive Feedback review cited above contains the following statement:" Ladies and gentlemen, we're talking master tape-type quality from Redbook CDs."Why do I have a hard time believing such hype? | |
| Outstanding Drum Performances Ginger Baker. Some more jazz oriented and some more rock but all interesting and some great. Check out this link for some reviews of his work to see if anything appeals to you.http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=GINGER|BAKER&am... | |
| order of improving sound quality in system? Speakers are the most colored component in the system. Different brands/topologies sound very different, so you first need to find a pair that you like. Nothing you put upstream from your speakers will make you happy unless you have a pair of spea... | |
| Looking for a good phono preamp solid state... I recommend a Camelot.A word to the forum police. This will probably get the same number of responses no matter what forum you put it in.

| Records, Wilma victim I agree the covers may be lost, but to save the vinyl you need to get them out of the wet covers ASAP. The stuff that will grow on the paper will eat into the vinyl. Once that happens the record is ruined. Sorry to hear about your trouble. | |
| Can 5AR4 be replaced by 5U4G or 274B? I looked up the specs for the 5AR4 and 5U4G. The 5AR4 can handle about 10% more current, and the 5U4G can handle a bit more reverse voltage, but neither is enough to really make a difference. The big difference is the 5U4G filament draws over 50% ... |
