| XLR-RCA adapters - which to choose? This Jensen solution requires an additional set of interconnects, yes? So, it may be an excellent answer to the problem, but the total cost of the solution is well beyond $200/channel. | |
| Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE Yes.I would rather not ask a local dealer for a demo as I have no intention of buying new.No. | |
| Help with deciding on a small power conditioner Two suggestions:Hydra 2 - $325 usedQuantum Electroclear - $50 new | |
| Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE Sherod, I don't necessarily need to stay with VAC amps. I looked at the Avatar, but in it's present configuration, I don't believe it has the stones to drive the VR4 HSE. One thing I really like about the VAC Phi is the ability to run it in triode... | |
| Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE Congratulations, Sherod, on the VAC Auricle Musicblocks. I was marvelling tonight at my VAC Phi 110, and wondering why the hell I want to sell it. There's very little that could replace the Phi 110 at it's used price, IMO.The Musicblock 160s, at $... | |
| is there a current production 20 bit cd player ? The Granite 657 might be just the ticket. Put in some Mullard E88CC tubes and you could be set. | |
| is there a current production 20 bit cd player ? Tell 'ya what, Mr.T., one "thank you" to those who have offered some suggestions in this thread and your other threads would go a long way. I did a five minute Google search for 20 bit CD players and found these. I'm sure there are others. The Den... | |
| Transsexual, Androgynous and Hybrid interconnects But from an audible standpoint, would a custom cable be better than using an adapter?Mitch4t (System | Threads | Answers)Honestly, this is something you have to hear for yourself. I did it both ways, and heard no degradation in sound using Neutri... | |
| Transsexual, Androgynous and Hybrid interconnects An adapter will allow you to change cabling easier and more cheaply. Is this for a subwoofer connection? If so, it would seem a custom cable is overkill, IMO.Also, poor re-sale value on RCA/XLR cables due to lack of demand.I'd recommend going with... | |
| i'm looking for a dull 12ax7 and 12au7, ideas? I'm not convinced Mrtennis is trolling, and without being able to speak face to face, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. | |
| OK, what's the protocol? Pawlowski6132, I have had similar experiences with the USPS online quote versus the price at the counter when shipping internationally. I use the USPS all the time, but their rates are damn confusing. Recently, a Canadian transaction partner quote... | |
| i'm looking for a dull 12ax7 and 12au7, ideas? Brimar 13D5 (12AU7). | |
| OK, what's the protocol? I think we're essentially on the same page. It's easier in the long run to calculate the shipping costs up front and add $5 or $10 for materials. It's not that diffcult to find the manufacturer's shipping weight and calculate cost. If one ballpark... | |
| OK, what's the protocol? Your underestimation, and eating of shipping costs in the past, does not mean diddly to your buyer who is being asked to pay more than he/she should. IMO, shipping costs should also cover the cost of shipping materials, i.e. a Handling fee. That's... | |
| OK, what's the protocol? I refund the difference. |
