| Serious scare over hearing loss SD, e-mail me....I am a meat eater and with a special regime I had a cholesterol of 124--that's a vegetarian reading! | |
| turntable madness Hey man,I side with the school that says that phono stage is more important than TT. If you start with a free Technics, fine. Get something like an Ortofon Concorde, change the interconnects, get a bottle of Pro Gold and follow DeKay's recipe of t... | |
| cables 101? The brands and differant sounds? Sean is correct on his advice. Also watch out for ads like this one: "Alpha Core Goertz TQ2 new version - tube like sound"How can an interconnect sound like a vaccuum tube? Only with the help of a Voodoo priest!!! | |
| Which worse- long I/C of speaker run George Tice told me to go the long speaker cable way. Shielded if the run was longer than 12 ft, since 60Hz hum can be picked up by the cable. Also to use 8 ga. size in order to keep low impedance.I figure good amps can drive long speaker runs, go... | |
| Which worse- long I/C of speaker run Designers like De Pavaricini favor long interconnect runs, some like Van Alstine say long speaker cable run. Who the hell knows? | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? ¿Nonsense?1) I'm hearing it.2) I thoroughly read Bybee's website and non-mathematical explanation.3) This is also congruent with George Tice's viewpoints.I have no electrical background, but I had a Materials Science Engineering roommate in colleg... | |
| What turntable for 1000 Lots of threads on this subject. Search. Re: Technics SP10; the chipsets are no longer made by Technics--once the chipset dies, you end up with a very expensive frisbee (unfortunately). | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? There's something that Bill Parish (GTT Audio/Absolute Power Cord) taught me: "The last eight feet (of power line) are the most important."A year later I have a very clear idea on this subject--and also why cryogenics is the most cost effective tr... | |

| Need recommendations on cables? I have Swans M1 Speakers, which are not too distant from what you own. My Power amp is a Proton, which falls on the bright side. I am using Tice interconnects and it has smoothed the sound of my DAC-Pre connection---soudstage is wide, tall and dee... | |
| Corner placement of stereo system This is something Deano taught me: "Speaker placement is free."Go ahead, move things around and learn... | |
| Tube Pre amp or Solid Pre Amp What about a *hybrid* preamp? Why not get the best of both worlds?I think hybrid is where it's at... | |
| Do power cords really matter? Good to know you like your new toy...I was going to buy it but realized you'd get the most out of it. Bob Bundus had told me they use one where he works, so when I saw it on eBay I knew what it was. From what you're saying, it could be possible to... | |
| Threshold FET9 or Monolithic PS-1 I own a Monolithic PS-1. I have not auditioned the other piece. What I can say is that if I was to upgrade it would have to be a Klyne. The Monolithic is quiet, musical, dynamic, with deep bass (as deep as my DAC's). Stereo imaging and separation ... | |
