| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Robert: My comments about the thread being interrupted were not geared towards your customers "coming to your rescue", but more-so as a general comment pertaining to a specific group of Audiogon regulars that dislike my "brutish" methods of commun... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Rooze: Forwardness, brittle treble, smeared transients, etc... could all be signs of an amp that doesn't like the load that it sees. That is, the Zobel may cure at least a portion of that aspect of the sonics. If your amp seems to be running hotte... | |
| Bryston article on transformers - Part 2 Kana: It is rather difficult to replace a toroid with an EI. First of all, most toroids are relatively smaller transformers, so an EI of the proper rating won't fit in the alloted space. As mentioned, the core size of a toroid is typically measura... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? I know that the person that is responding here is named Robert, but are you sure that you don't work for Star Sound? You just told us everything we wanted to know about something that we didn't ask about, yet failed to address a single issue being... | |
| Bryston article on transformers - Part 2 Hmmm... Let's see here. We have an article comparing EI type transformers to toroidal transformers. The article just so happens to be written by a guy that works for a company that designs and manufactures toroids. On top of that, the party presen... | |
| How to bridge a Amp Adcom GFA1A and run a Subwoff You can't connect the output of each channel to one common driver. You can use one channel to drive one woofer and the other channel to drive another woofer, but not both channels to drive one woofer. That is, unless the woofer is a dual voice coi... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Robert: Kudo's to you for "entering the arena". You are braver than most : )Can you explain or clarify this specific part of your post for me? "Whether your fancy is Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Polyflatulent, purity is important. The quality... | |
| Spindle oil Bose may not have invented it, but maybe they'll be the first to impliment it in a manner that is both effective and user friendly. After all, with all of the profit margin that they make on their plastic products using the lowest grade materials,... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Ozfly: That "15 minutes" was a joke. You got it, right??? : )As far as your amp goes, it's quite possible that it does a very fine job of filtering out unwanted noise. The power supply that i described was simply a basic approach. There are other ... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Rooze: To make things easier on you, here's a link to a thread where i made my most recent mention of Magnan interconnects. It can be found in a thread entitled IC Advice Needed. Psychic: Send him on over, along with all of the other manufacturers... | |
| Spindle oil El: I know how the Sony arm works and understand how it is allowed to pivot at the rear i.e. it isn't "anchored" at the rear like the older HK / Rabco motor driven designs. Having said that, even the HK / Rabco has enough "slop" in the arm assembl... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Tommy: One more thing about the Magnan's that you linked to. That is, they appear to use the flat ribbon design but then make additional connections to a different type of conductor for termination at each end of the cable. This means for a standa... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? "In other words, does 'minimizing skin effect' actually mean 'maximizing skin propagation'?Tommy: That's a GREAT summary. Only thing to remember is, you've got to have enough "skin" or "surface area" to keep the series resistance low. On top of th... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Psychic: One of my colleagues has some radical ideas about power cords and AC filtration. He has made claims to me about what he can do in this area and i'm trying to work with him on this. He's not been real specific with me as he likes toying wi... | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide jes45: That's no reason to stop liking Mikey, it's just a reason to remember that we're all human, can make mistakes and sometimes operate under pre-concieved albeit false notions. Ten bucks says that Mikey won't make that mistake again though... ... |
