| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? If you're just looking for protection against power surges and outages, then the Brickwall PW8R15AUD might be worth researching: 8 outlets, 15 amps, $259.It is not a conditioner, and it imparts no sound of it's own in my system.Brickwall also sell... | |
| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? Here's an idea, but they're well below your budget. Silverline Prelude. They go only down to 35Hz, but you'll likely not miss the lowest bass unless you're a metal head (like me). I'm a bass hound, and I was darned impressed by these at CES. 91dB/... | |
| How to cut sorbothane? I have some miscellaneous pieces remaining. They are about 1/2"x1/2" and shaped like four pointed stars. Imagine a square with four circles cut out. The remaining "star" in the middle is what I have. I use a couple sets of these starfish footers u... | |
| CES / THE Show Curious if you heard the Acapella loudspeakers at T.H.E. Show. My buddies and I thought their sound was at, or near the top of the list, and certainly possessing a silky midrange and very sweet top end. They have the qualities that you seem to like. | |
| SACD King under $7500 Good luck, Rolloff, you have many good choices on your list. | |
| SACD King under $7500 SACD is dead for all practical purposes. Invest 1/2 (or 1/5) of your $7500 budget on a vinyl rig and realize a larger benefit than if you had invested $7500 on SACD. | |
| Importance of headshell and tonearm alignment Print the free one on line and try it, just go to:http://www.vinylengine.com/manuals_tonearm_protractors.shtmlI downloaded and printed the generic Stupid Protractor, but the scale is off by about 10%.Is there a secret handshake required to learn ... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Mmmm...All this talk of crack whores and white van specials is making me horny, baby!Audio gear has never gotten a rise out of me. It is pleasant, though. | |
| Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh I'm with you, Blueskiespbd. | |
| Watt Puppy 6 I agree with Macrojack, provided the price on the used WP6 is low enough that you can resell without getting hurt (and only you can determine the loss your pain threshold will endure...some can accept more than others).:) | |
| Stiff power cords are frustrating A few stiff cords I have tried (including some with stiffness at the plug ends, which is also annoying): DCCA Extreme Reference, Electraglide Epiphany, Purist Audio Dominus, Revelation Audio Labs Precept.These are all exceptional cords, though.A f... | |
| Soft squishy feet Sorbothane from www.mcmaster.comAvailable in several different softness variations.Place a piece of plastic baggie between the sorbothane and the surface it contacts, and this will prevent marking. | |
| 2007 CES Room info request Thanks Metralla. I do intend to visit both CES and T.H.E. Show insofar as the exhibitors on my list include each show.Thus far, I have not found an easy method for determining T.H.E. Show exhibitor rooms since the host website does not publish roo... | |
| How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp 01-08-07: JoefamaTvad.The Shunyata Hydra crapped out sonically. Thanks for explaining what you meant by "crapped out". Usually, this term refers to mechanical or electrical failure.Please report back with which conditioner satisfies you, and best ... | |
| How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp Joe, then I go back to my earlier suggestion that you take a look at your electrical system. Frankly, I'd be concerned about a fire if one, 100 watt, Class A power amp is blowing a 20 amp rated power conditioner. I don't work for Shunyata. Don't s... |
