| good cable for internal speaker wiring I used the Cardas Copper Litz wire for wiring my homemade external passive crossover to my Infinity RIIb speakers. I used 11.5 gauge on the woofers, 15.5 gauge on the EMIM mids and 17.5 gauge on the EMIT tweeters. Litz is not the easiest to work w... | |
| Shorting caps/Cardas protective caps worth the $? I've seen the effect on my scope when testing a piece of equipment. Open RCA jacks pick up RFI very easily. | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave How else to listen to your Yello collection? | |
| Recommended tube preamp with HT bypass? They did but they are back now, with some new features in their preamps, like on the fly switching from transformer to cap coupling (pretty neat idea IMO). Here is their website:http://www.supratek.biz/ | |
| Recommended tube preamp with HT bypass? Supratek preamps also have a HT bypass that works with the preamp off. Very nice feature for a tube preamp to have, so you don't burn out the tubes and run up the electric bill watching TV. I have a Chenin, by the way. | |
| Do speaker wires degrade over time ? Entropy - the universe tends toward maximum disorder. IOW, everything falls apart. | |
| Detail Magnifiers by Econotweek Actually they are high-pass RC filters, easy to DIY on your own. Simply a capacitor and resistor in series. The idea is to high-pass the RF from the speaker cables through the resistor, where it dissipates as heat. There are quite a few threads on... | |
| Infinity Owners: New EMIM Diaphragms Available By the way, here is another new review of the Graz EMIM diaphragms, by the fellow at Lautsprecher Service in Austria. I think he likes them, too!http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.lautsprecher-service.at/html/ne... | |
| Infinity Owners: New EMIM Diaphragms Available Sure, contact Graz at info@apogeeribbons.com - he is the head of the new Apogee speaker company. | |
| Supratek or Rogue? Perhaps Audioconnection should disclose that they are a Rogue dealer when answering posts? | |
| Supratek or Rogue? I own a Chenin (Chardonnay plus phono) which I have extensively modded. These preamps are easy to mod due to their point to point wiring. I converted to single 2C22 tubes to replace the series 6SN7s, changed the anode load from resistor to cascode... | |
| Your First Concert was..... Jerry Gsrcia, Seton Hall University Walsh Gymnasium, 1974. I was a snot-nosed Catholic high-school freshman - we snuck down in front after one song and I stood up against the stage inches away from Jerry, wondering at the 30-minute long version of... | |
| Kappa 9 vs Martin Logan Quest Z If you like MLs, try a vintage Infinity with EMIM midranges upgraded to the brilliant new Apogee Acoustics EMIM diaphragms. Electrostatic clarity with way more dynamic range. Here's a snapshot of my RSIIb's:RSIIb | |
| Nordost Red Down or Zu Wax Personally, I don't believe in the Zu, I believe in my ears. I couldn't care less what their marketing hype says, I love how the Ibis cables sound.Don't get all bent out of shape over here, we're just having some fun with you. You have to admit it... | |
| Nordost Red Down or Zu Wax "I took them apart to see what they were made of and there are nothing more than 4 common electrical wires of different gauges for plus and minus, braided."SHOCKING! Zu cables contain only electrical wires! ;-)Truthfully, I have been running Zu Ib... |
