| Cables "Burn In" Pbb, I understand your point on the last sentence of your post---I posted my response to Famaraca in Portuguese and it didn't get posted (I knew it wouldn't). Doesn't matter, I emailed it to him...What I am going to write you're not going to like ... | |
| New Analog system. where to start? If you want belt drive, Nrchy hits on the target w/ the SOTAs, both sonically and customer service. If you want DD, get a 1200 and do the mods.Don't fall for glass and partice board... | |
| Any experience with cryo'ed cables / IC'S ? I've been searching posts on this subject on several forums. I've read in the Asylum that people are sending their cables and interconnects for cryo treatment. It can be done for $10 a pound. Some guy sent his Absolute Power Cords and wrote that i... | |
| Argent Room Lenses? Sean, I heard Jahaira's setup when I went back home. Those things *are* ugly, but very effective. Personally, I think I can (and presently do) get effective room treatment w/out them. I am successfully combining good tasting decor with acoustic tr... | |
| Best DVD on a budget I have a JVC X45S. An absolutely outstanding player for the money. I run the audio through a Soundstream DAC and it is *very* nice. I just ordered a small $15 isolation transformer from eBay to plug this DVD and improve performance. If you want pr... | |
| The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys Bowbow, I have been purchasing Tice interconnects. George Tice is selling them direct at a BIG discount. I purchased two-1.5m pairs for $137.50 per pair. It's a *very* good interconnect. I wish I could afford a few more pairs... | |
| The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys Thorty, I looked up that stage3 website. Found it *very* interesting. Wonder how their phono cables sound... | |
| Best system for the budding audiophile? James, since you are starting, just about anything that is good high end will do. I have never had that kind of cash to throw in at once!Your statement saying "I have a large room 15' by 20' but can't be too fussy with placement" indicates two thi... | |
| Voodoo in Ann Arbor Sedond emailed someone from HD who lives in Detroit and gave us some names. We went to Almas & The Gramophone--and were treated right at both...Almas had Rotel & The Gramophone had B&K. I could easily tell the Rotel had better & mo... | |
| Any upgrades done on CAmbridge D500se? I second Sugarbrie on Power Cords. I replaced the stock cord on my Cambridge D300SE with an Absolute Power Cord and it made a big improvement, especially on bass response. | |
| Any scientific data on cable burn-in? Pbb, Sean had some of my cables cooked on his modified Mobie. I got them back less than a week ago and the difference is stunning. I know, because I had identical sets uncooked for comparison. Given all the Voodoo behind cables, it is a better dea... | |
| need help choosing line condtioner I live in an apartment and use a 3000W ONEAC isolation transformer. I also have a Tice A/V Solo, but it's not a good idea to plug my amp to it.You can get a *big* isolation transformer in eBay, but it is going to be 220V in for what you want it...... | |
| Interconnects for tube equipment? Georgio, I wouldn't say go 100% Tice, but I *do* have a Melos tube preamp and the run from DAC to pre has improved smoothness sooo much!!! Once I go for a sub I would like to try a more dynamic design from x-over to satellite amp(my speakers have ... | |
| What controls/adjustments are needed for phono pre Chazz, look up Kevin Barrett's phono transcription preamp. It has every equalization curve ever used on a record and two phono inputs. It is a high end preamp for under 1K, and he sells direct.www.kabusa.com | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company Jlambrick, for the money you'd spend to get a *used* RGPC you can find a used isolation transformer like my 3000W (220V in, 110V out) ONEAC beast. Even more, you could get a really big one like the ones used for industrial HVAC units. Getting powe... |
