| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Thanks for sending me the link Simon, I'm happy you like the Air Tight PC-1 so much. I may buy one for my new table based on our conversation.Jim promised to ship the cables tomorrow, let me know how the rest of the testing goes. | |
| Which 'Shipping carrier provides the best overall For large items, I've had great success with Team Air.http://www.teamair.com/index_ie.phpNo nonsense, (very) organized air carrier. My shipment was delivered super fast and in perfect order. Plus, they were about 30% less than the next nearest bid. | |
| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? My results are identical to Tonyptony. I have nearly 40 foot runs between my tube preamp and amps. The amps are VTL 750 (single ended design) so I use RCA connectors at both ends. Just because an amp has XLR connectors does NOT mean it's balanced.... | |
| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? This comes up pretty regularly here at Audiogon. I have seen posts answering both ways.In my opinion you are better off with low loss interconnect as that signal fairs well in long runs, compared to high power through speaker wire. A good example ... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free I assume Eldartford is talking about the breaker on the transformer. The utility provider may or may not respond to that request, particularly if you share that transformer with other households. | |
| Tube amp for Sound Labs I've owned two pair of Sound Labs (A-1 and U-1) and over the years ran Air Tight ATM-3, Atma-Sphere MA2, VTL 750, Wolcott Presence 220, Tube Research GT 400 Viva Aurora (both 572 version and the 845 Version) and half a dozen others including some ... | |
| Teres still the way to go? Nick why did you need to graduate, you were smart enough already !Do you think you'll have time now to make it to one of our music nights? | |
| Length of Tonearm cable ?? Depends on the inductance and resistance of the cable, especially if your cartridge is a low output moving coil. The lower the value of each, the better. My phono cable is 5.8 feet and there is no difference in sound between that and 3.93 feet (1.... | |
| DeOxit and ProGold I like ProGold but never spray it onto (or into) anything. Instead, I spray a tiny bit on a Q-Tip stripped of most of it's cotton tip and clean the connector carefully by hand. Wipe off all excess so the surface hardly shows the application of the... | |
| Denon DD Plinthing You don't owe me a Dennon but the workmanship is appealing and I am about to start a project of my own with a recently acquired Technics SP10 Mk2. | |
| Denon DD Plinthing Where's mine??:^). | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? My response on 7-30-05 is no longer accurate. I am now the proud owner of a McCormack UDP-1 Deluxe and I am very happy with it. It is an excellent player. | |
| Owners of Duntech Crown Prince still out there? I think they are excellent speakers. I clearly remember listening to them at CES more than a decade ago with Steve McCormack. I was close to buying them myself I was so impressed. | |
| Vintage vinyl or new reissues? Thanks Rushton, I may have to buy that Dylan based on your comments. | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? I have the Walker and choose the Jade Platinum. There are no problems whatsoever. Lloyd visited me recently and listened to my system. We experimented with tracking force and VTA and he said the sound was excellent. In fact, rare for LLoyd, he had... |
