I might be able to loan you a Purist power cable in the near future. I just swapped out four to the new Aqueous Anniversary a... | |
| VTL 75 75 deluxe amp...... Input/Driver tubes???? 12BH7 may work in that circuit, it is designed with similar parameters as 12AU7 and 12AT7. I used 12BH7 in my Air Tight ATM3's and got a huge upgrade.If you want to play it safe, score some Telefunken 12AT7 off EBAY, plug, play and be prepared for... | |

| Shunyata Anaconda Alpha or Elrod Statement? OK, I'll vote and take the criticism that will likely follow.In my opinion, the Elrod is the far superior product of the two. I've had both of those cables in my system on Aesthetix preamp and my cheap digital and the Elrod had less coloration, mo... | |

| Why should some speakers need a big room? An obvious response is that some speakers might not fit in the space. For instance, imagine a pair of Sound-Lab ultimates in a room 10 wide, 12 long with 8 foot ceilings. The speaker is 38 inches wide, and allowing only 8 inches from the side wall... | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? There are readily-available 3-pin plugs (and sockets) that twist to lock.I use exactly that for my 240 volt connections and have for several years. However, some aftermarket power cords void warranty if modifications are made, and if wired imprope... | |
