| DIY Interconnects review Just thought i'd add some recent experiences to this thread:1) ground wire, as a friend reported to me, is extremely audible on XLRs. while sean was quite on point with his earlier comments to me re: volume shunt to ground (adding ground removed t... | |
| DIY Interconnects review i'm not familiar w/ WBT crimping. if it has a VERY strong mechanical connection, then it ought to be OK. soldering results in a very strong mechanical connection. as do screw terminals. crimiping usually applies uneven stress.rc | |
| DIY Interconnects review Dbld,it depends. if the contact area w/ screws is large enough and materials (metals) are good quality (i.e. brass / silver / copper, not nickel screws or steel), then screw is fine. otherwise, i'd go w/ solder. i'd never use crimping.Now, my expe... | |
| DIY Interconnects review jademy best wishes on your health, and my compliments on this excellent post.question: was there any break-in period given for any of the cables? IME, copper breaks in the fastest, tinned / plated copper takes longer, and silver cannot (!) break i... | |
| Review: Einstein The Tube Linestage Tube preamp the unit runs hot, but its not just the tubes; the trannys contribute to the heat output significantly. Guido, i found that a silent bathroom fan (think "broan" from lowe's at @ $100) placed above the equip rack will do wonders for keeping your ro... | |
| Review: Einstein The Tube Linestage Tube preamp jaybow/ all respect, there isn't but a couple studios around (think lucasfilm, but certainly not conventional recording studios!) that has the $$ equivalent of an einstein preamp, or top notch speakers like wilson, accapella, rockport, etc etc., s... | |
| Review: Einstein The Tube Linestage Tube preamp your comment jaybo only demonstrates a lack of experience. the finer components (read: more expensive) are more apt to prove you wrong than mid-fi stuff; once you get into uber-pricey gear, "character" becomes diminutive---as character is a euphem... | |
| Syd Barret - RIP i recently read in the BBC that at a Live8 reunion gig, just prior to striking up "wish you were here", gilmore was reported to say "this one is for everyone who couldn't be here tonight. especially Syd."i listened to that record last night. must ... | |
| MBL 101e's vs. Soundlab U-1's think about the waveform differential:monkey coffins: uses 1-4 woofers of 8-15" which travel anywhere from fractions of an inch to a couple inches (!) from start to stop. panels: whole panel, moves just fractions of an inch.again, panels will neve... | |
| MBL 101e's vs. Soundlab U-1's diff strokes for diff folks. listening preferences determine speaker-owner suitability.i owned U2s, and couldn't ditch them fast enough. i listen to lots of R&R; the fact that you like SLs implies that you do not. they're coherent to the max, ... | |

| Review: Silver Circle Audio PP1 v 3.0 high current AC filter 1) i did try my mac 501s on the 3.0, and i noticed minor dynamic compression. a more appropriate scenario would be to use 1 PP1v 3.0 for each mono, and a 3rd for the line level gear.unfortunately, my counterfeiting printing press is on the fritz.2... | |
| line conditioner for amplifiers i've just been told that Silver Circle has just developed a power conditioner based on a 5.0kVa isolation transformer, which to my knowledge is the largest isolation tranny in any audiophile power conditioning product. and IME, the reason more aud... | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 i own the 6s and have never had a problem w/ a hot top end once i set them up right. plug & play, the older versions are not. system matching is critical. but get it right, and they're quite special.and i for one am THRILLED about dave raising... |
