| tube rolling first-timer Blindjim, that still does not rule out the possibility that NOS tubes might be better in the Nagra. Trying them is the only real test. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Brdsmith, check out the Tidal electronic thread. | |
| Fozgometer? Someone told me there is software on a Mac to do this running the phono leads in through a phono jack with two RCAs on it. | |
| Electrician's advice wanted: safely lifting ground Are the jacks on both amps insulated from the chassis? You mention that Amp A has a ring suggesting that the inputs are in fact isolated. Have you tried only having Amp B on to see if you have hum? Or only Amp A on? I suspect that Amp A is causing... | |
| Electrician's advice wanted: safely lifting ground Dan ed, your solutions is good only for components in which the input and output jacks are isolated from the chassis. I have seen few where there is such isolation.Lifting the chassis ground is dangerous if there is a hot wire in contact with the ... | |
| Power cable management I make every effort to have power cords not touch the floor using Suspendors, a ceramic isolator. I also seek to have them cross each other at right angles or close to it. Of late I have been using charged cables which might be insensitive to bein... | |
| Fozgometer? Hichory, I think you are right, but the real issue is convenience. | |
| YG Anat Professional owners The best sounding ANATs I have heard were in the Synergistic Research suite at CES using all their cabling and all Esoteric electronics on StillPoints racks and component stands. | |
| tube rolling first-timer I am sure that Nagra has to live with tubes that are readily available and make their best choice among them. I my opinion, 50s-70s tubes are far superior to what you can buy today.I know my Reimyo 300B amp came with new production Westrex 300Bs t... | |

| If money were no object, what would be in your rig Magfan, I would much prefer the non-SE version of the Oppo because it has the good sounding Crystal chip set which makes sacds and HDCDs sound great. I would, of course, get the Exemplar mods done on it. I also would never steam off the internet, ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Suteetat,I had assumed that they were all in common. I would call SR. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Suteetat, I just learned that the plastic boxes of the Universal Interconnect Cells are intended to dangle off the shelf. where your preamp is. I had managed to keep them on the shelf, using a heavy Walker weight. I introduced my preamp to amp set... | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig Were money no object, I would immediately buy the Tidal Presencio and Impact Monoblocs. I would not change any source (Bergman SIndre with Ortofon A-90 and Mac server with Weiss Minerva), cabling (all Synergistic Research) or isolation (mainly Sti... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Tidal Contriva Discera SEs, I had concluded that every speaker was a compromise in one way or another, until I got these. And they are well short of the 600 hours of breakin.My main question now is finding an amp to get the most out of them. |
