| Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know? Grant, I understand Shunyata's reasoning, and I alluded to similar logic in my earlier post.It's still not clear to me from your post what cord is included with a Hydra purchase (Shunyata brand or generic Belden 12 gauge), and if it's still the re... | |
| DK Design VS- Reference vs Signature 01-22-06: LrskyAmperex ECC88/6DJ8, circa 8/1962, New Old Stock, and probably about $250.per pair. Amperex 6DJ8 Bugle Boy from the early 1960s can be found any given week on E-Bay for around $50/pair. Amperex Orange Globe "O" Getter tubes made in H... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I only heard one song comparing Oritek X-2's and Aplhifi's interconnects. I know you've heard this before, but I need more time to compare.That's understandable and reasonable, and somehow the fact you had only one song for a demo doesn't surprise... | |
| Review: Rogue Audio Cronus Tube amp After I posted the Mullard/Amperex suggestion, I did a search for the Cronus and noticed one had recently been sold with Mullard tubes. I am quite certain you will be amazed at what the NOS stuff will do versus current production, but I understand... | |
| Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know? 01-21-06: SamuelJust as an FYI. There is a quality 12 gauge 20A cord included with Hydras upon the customers request. All dealers should be aware of this and inform the customer.Grant, thanks for this information. I mentioned your post to two frie... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? 01-21-06: MmakshakI just got back from Alphifi's...He may be selling these interconnects. They deserve to be heard. They definitely gave me pause for thought....back in the day, the Linn way of PRAT helped me know what to look for. Today with digi... | |
| Review: Rogue Audio Cronus Tube amp Steve, I'll bet rolling some Amperex, or Mullard 12AU7 and 12AX7 would make a surprising change in the sound...fuller, sweeter and more organic. Just a thought. | |
| Modwright SWL9.0 SE Tube Rolling Can anyone recommend a source/s for the GE JAN 7044s? I had a bit of a troll around and didn't find any readily available.JAN GE 7044 | |
| Aurios under JC1 monoblock's? Honestly, I don't believe isolation works as much on SS gear as it does on tube gear or digital sources or analog rigs. If you're interested, I have two sets of Symposium Rollerblocks II that I might be willing to let you try. We'd have to discuss... | |
| how to remove video noise on my plasma? DESPERATE Save your money on CATV isolaters and call Cox.That's excellent advice, and it's how I learned the trick about tightening the coaxial connections. Sometimes the solution doesn't require the any money be spent. | |
| Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know? My position remains that a seller of components should supply what it needs to operate with as standard proceedure. That's all. Period.Understood. I just like having a choice. I hope nothing I've posted was taken personally as it was not intended... | |
| Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know? I'll simply add that I have always tried to be frugal when it comes to tweaks..and I regard conditioning and cords as tweaks. Somewhere in these threads I have written about and supported using $7 Volex 14gauge, shielded power cords as upgraded af... | |
| how to remove video noise on my plasma? DESPERATE I have had this exact issue several times, and each time it was solved by tightening the coaxial connection at every connector...wall, cable box, TV, and including the connections outside (splitters, etc).I'd try this first. | |
| Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know? I suppose that's what burns my butt about having to add a better cord, or even 'a' cord is simply that . . .spending $500 to $1000, for conditioning devices and right away having to get into the pocket even deeper, yet again... and not by choice..... | |
| Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know? Just curious as to why you went with multiple 2's as compared to a 4,6 or 8 model. To keep your digital completely separate?That's exactly why.However, a friend has tried two Hydra 2 and one Hydra 4 on the same AC line, and he prefers the sound of... |
