| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Quicksilver Audio 120 Mono's. New a little outside your budget but worth looking into. Probably not much luck finding a used pair.Not tubes, but I'll throw this out. Used ModWright KWA 100 SE. Will sound sweet on Vandy's, with no heat or tube repl... | |
| Shieded power cable with small gauge conductors Curious why it needs to be shielded and small gauge conductors? Are you referring to it being small gauge because you want a flexible cable and what is your budget? Not knowing much to go off here, I'll throw out Kimber PK14 Ascent or older, used ... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP Very happy with my Cambridge 851C. It is so close to my table, I use it more often unless I'm in the mood to go through the process of spinning vinyl. It's not a forgiving player, so if the quality of the recording is poor it's not going to fudge ... | |
| Best Interconnects from DAC to Integrated-under 300 used Spend a little more and look at Clear Day Cable balanced. Great cable with very nice XLR's. Use one to feed my CA 851C to my preamp. Paul will send you one at no cost to evaluate first. | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. ARC VT50. They don't come up for sale often because it's a great little amp for the money. Very musical amp. | |
| Pass X250.5 Users Desmond got back to me and as I expected they did make some circuit changes from the first X250.5’s with the original X250 case to the later. Here’s what Desmond said."The main difference on the rear was the addition of a white ground post. We had... | |
| Pass X250.5 Users Did you just have the itch to upgrade or was there something you didn't like about the X250.5?Yeah, I dropped Pass an email as well and just waiting for a response.Thanks | |
| my speakers hum Temporary float the ground on your amp PC with a cheater plug. If the hum goes away it's a ground loop. It could just be your cables too. If your IC's are unshielded and you've been moving gear around, unplugging cables, you might just be picking ... | |
| DIY Power cord Who makes the cable, and what is its rating? I wouldn’t bother on this cable for what you just described. My experience on DIY PC’s is the ends have as much or more to do on the sound so if you’re going to build your own, spend the money on the e... | |
| Best interconnects used for around $500 +? Agree with the Clear Day IC's. I own several pairs and they embarrass many, more expensive cables. They'll bring out the best of you CJ gear that's for sure. Very open revealing cables. Kimber KCAG is a very nice cable and you can pick them up use... | |
| speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need Clear Day Cables for the IC's. Great IC's for the money. I've not heard anything for the money anywhere close. Paul's Double Shotgun is the star of his line, and for the money a steal, but they might be pushing your budget. With smaller speakers t... | |
| Balanced interconnects vs. Analog The geometry of a cable has more to do with canceling RF and EMI over single or balanced cable such as a braid or twisting the conductors around each other. Insulators and shields have much to do with this, and a well engineered cable with no shie... | |
| Power amp for Modwright LS100 I wouldn't think the LS100 would be noisy. Larger Pass amps can get a little noisy because of their high gain running single ended cables, so balanced is highly recommended on them. Both Pass and ModWright make great equipment and as always it's a... | |
| Balanced interconnects vs. Analog Belden, Mogami and Canare are ok, but they don't come close to a decent or better set of cables. Anyone who's really compared them, knows better or their equipment isn't there to begin with. A lot of affordable balanced cables that are far better ... | |
| Power amp for Modwright LS100 I have a Pass X250 with my ModWright LS36.5. My experience with a big SS amps with a tube preamp it's best to run balanced cables. My previous ModWright SWL 9.0SE was a little noisy too which is why I sold it and got the LS36.5. Your formerr LS100... |
