| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Dazzdax, you need to start from scratch again. This doesn't necessarily mean that you should get high and go to rock concerts again, but you *do* need to do some serious live music listening to get your bearings...My system is nowhere near as expe... | |

| Cable Costs Relative to System The Jerry Springer Show would be a great place to hold this discussion. We could also take a few people who have disputes, too and bring some big 16 oz boxing gloves to have matters settled...in public! Of course, we would have pretty *mamis* in b... | |
| What Power Cord for EAR 834P I would give Bill Parish (GTT Audio) a call. He's an EAR dealer and also markets the Absolute Power Cord. The Absolute is an inexpensive, well made and properly tuned power cord suitable for line level components. | |
| Audio Magic Stealth it is When it comes to line conditioners, specs *are* important--especially because you are paying your hard earned money! Noise specs can be readily measured. The sound quality is important, of course, but one can have line conditioners which don't adv... | |
| grainy sounding high end system I think CJ is having quality control *issues*. I just heard of a CJ preamp being serviced at the factory and then blowing up a couple of Aragon 200W monoblocks... | |
| Audio Magic Stealth it is I am very skeptical when it comes to line filtration--there's so much hype out there! I trust this person because he's a circuit designer, has a good ear plus a rig that's about $50K. He's listened to a lot of gear in order to make sure his design... | |
| Audio Magic Stealth it is Someone I *highly* trust in the area of line conditioners told me the Audio Magic is "gargage". This person has auditioned virtually every conceivable unit in the market and ended up designing his own...Happens very often in "high end", doesn't it? | |
| any personal experience with bybee filters? Bybees are very good. I don't know about them ProAcs, though. I'd get something with *ribbon* drivers... | |
| Tice Power Block II / Titan Hamsta, I think you'd be better off with a BIG step down isolation transformer for your audio setup. If bought used from a surplus outlet it would be cheaper than the Titans. Search the archives and you'll get plenty of info. | |
| L.A times 12-24-02 analogue is back I thought you were Zaikesman!!!Sorry...Anyway that is indeed a *paradigm shift*, just like for guys who like pretty girls and one day get drunk and go out w/ a not so pretty girl with extreme movements!!! | |

| L.A times 12-24-02 analogue is back Quote: "I had a guy over recently who designs and builds his own equipment as a hobby. During the day he works on computers. He was convinced of the superiority of digital to analog. Several hours later he left muttering under his breath. His comm... | |

| Burning coxial antenna cable on a cooker. Good move, Alan! It would have to be someone who's really into tuners, like Sedond...All I have is an old Pioneer 6500 tuner I bought at a pawn shop for $20--it is in *mint* shape, though. I just won an indoor Sony FM antenna on eBay. Nothing extr... |
