| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Sorry, I'm not going to over do it with the torqueing. I might try it at 10 lbs. soon, though, to do a quick comparison. | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Well, I guess I'll be the first to be in line for flames from the other side. I initially equally torqued all my stock screws to the same 8in.-lbs. Soundstage appeared to be a little cleaner and a tad more focussed and centered. Nothing really rev... | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? Some say that 25 years is a good number for being qualified as vintage. Here's an older AA thread: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/vintage/messages/11/111256.html | |
| Parasound HCA-3500: Which aftermarket power cords? Yes, I just found the cord on the AA site. A great bargain at $29.99: http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PAPC12 | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: I think you'll be fine. I just did a torque test on one of the original screws on one of the midwoofers and it was about 10 lbs. Actually, I pre-tested all four screws on a mid-woofer driver and all four were slightly different. Hmmmm... interesti... | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Apparently this Fat Wrench is offered in a couple of versions. Here is a site where the model shows 5-60 lbs. I don't think the differenc ebetween 8 and 10 lbs. would be that dramatic. Chances are if you manually tightened the screws down it would... | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: I agree that the equal torqueing of the screws probably is as important as the composition of the screw. | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Tvad, Sounds like a good idea. I don't have a Wheeler Fat Wrench, but I do have an older Black & Decker battery-powered driver that has similar adjustments. I recall that the video suggested starting at 8 ft.-lbs. torque. I think I'll do the s... | |
| Parasound HCA-3500: Which aftermarket power cords? For $75.00, Parasound has a stock power cord made for them by Wan Lung in Taiwan. It is a 12 gauge, UPOCC cord and it is an excellent sounding cord. Look at the label on your stock cord to see if this is the Wan Lung Black model. If you want bette... | |
| Looking for a very focused power cord If you could tell us what the rest of your system is comprised of, since speaker cables are sensitive to the amp and speaker interaction, it would help in giving you a recommendation. What type of music do you prefer and at what volumes? Also, and... | |
| Selling a favorite component to help out family I admire you in your unselfish way of sacrificing in order to help your brother's wife. I'm sure that you will be blessed with another pair of your favorite speakers in due time. When my wife and I were going through some tough financial times a f... | |
| AZ Absolute; which is When you say you've been using them for "some" weeks now, about how many total hours of actual playing time do the cables have? Do you have a signal continously going through them for 24/7? | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs Dave_b, Have you tried the Transparent MM cord on anything other than Krell with as good results? | |

| Looking for a very focused power cord I'm currently using the Predator cords on my VAC Monobloc amps. I haven't tried this cord elswhere. I also have the Impulse cord on my preamp. I tried the Enchanter there, but the Enchanter seems to work best with higher current power supplies. Th... |
