| Is there a "best" quality 5 pin DIN connector for phono cable applications? I replaced the original din cable on my Linn/Akito as it seemed it needed better shielding and there were actual rat bites on it (!) as the table had been stored by the previous owner. The replacement was Jelco branded Mogami cable with an nicely ... | |
| What's your investment threshold? I think you can't mention the used cable scene enough…I doubt I would have bought a solid silver Audioquest sp/dif cable for my DAC at full price, but found one (years ago now) for cheap on Ebay. Same with a lot of other cables I own bought at 50%... | |
| Audioquest Rocket 44 speaker cable. Any good?? I was in my local high end "Audio Salon" last year and I mentioned to the sales dude that I was using modded (meaning I separated out the internal wires) AQ Type 8 as a biwire cable. The sales dude says' "Hey, why not ask Bill Low who's standing b... | |
| acoustical stuffing / sound dampening subwoofer cabinet REL BRITANNIA B1 subwoofer I have 2 REL subs from the same era (Q150e and Q108II) and both are unstuffed, sound fabulous, and never overheat or get particularly hot at all. | |
| First Tube Amp I second the Jolida suggestion…I recently sold mine as I prefer my little single ended Dennis Had amp (restricting me to efficient speakers, but I can live with that), but that Jolida 502P was a great amp. When I bought it around 6 years ago it co... | |
| speakers with balls Any dynamic music including modern jazz and classical along with death metal and hippity hop actually demands decent speakers that won't explode if you turn 'em up. It's simply a matter of the degree of level you plan to tolerate…I recently instal... | |
| SS Integrated Amplifier that would sound good with the PSB Synchrony One B A good friend owns a Vincent SV236 and after ignoring my suggestion of new production Gold Lion 12AX7s (hey man…), he apparently researched among Vincent owners and found that the new EH 12AX7s were the ones to get. After using the original tubes ... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Fuses are functioning bi-directional things when they (generally) deal with an alternating current…I suppose they could pass current more aptly in one direction, but it's still a half inch teeny wire so it seems like (because it is) an irrelevant ... | |
| Thinking out of the box here. It might make some defensive Just imagine the effort to eliminate vibration from wire…a silly endeavor that some enjoy and/or profit from, and seems obviated by the items like crossovers, connectors, and wire inside your speakers. A vibration nightmare...The trauma occurring ... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Most "experts" in audio engineering I know don't give a hoot about silly magical tweaks with no basis in reality, and if you can find one who does, well, so what. All are welcome in Wonderland…I remain a believer in Littelfuse stuff because since ... | |
| Morrow IC's To Morrow or not to Morrow…that is the question. And what’s wrong with Indianapolis? (Rhetorical question…please do not respond). Also, I want to find the guy who bought Morrow cables when they were NOT on sale…who is that guy? In any case, cables... | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? Curiousjim…no problemo, and full disclosure (!), I bought a Freya last November and it's a fun thing that's great for tube rolling. Also Stoddard wrote a book (or made a book out of a book length bunch of posts) about his adventures in the audio b... | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? I just did a web search and found piles of Sumo info…Jason Stoddard of Schiit was very involved, Jim Bongiorno…a Sumo fan Youtube site, etc. | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Fuses, as long as they are working, don't have an influence of the items upstream…they just don't…they're part of a protection circuit, and that's it. I'm sorry if this fact ends this discussion , but hey…we'll all be fine. | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Come on now George…magic is magic…for 150 bucks you can make everything better….you just have to believe. |
