| Calling all electricians for advice on wiring home You have already answered your own question. Tell your electrician to run your new wire on the side of the breaker box NOT shared with your Fridge (or whatever). You may have to move a few breakers to get that side of the breaker box "pristine cle... | |
| Problems with Siemens CCa 6922 tubes? Dekay is correct about the E288CC not being a direct sub. I have tried it in several circuits in place of 6922 with no problems but the suggestion to check with Audion is a good one.If they say it won't damage the circuit, you have nothing to loos... | |
| Problems with Siemens CCa 6922 tubes? Boa2. You might try the Siemens E288CC. It's similar tonal balance, transparency and dynamics to the CCa but tougher to kill. I have had excellent luck with it in some circuits and not so great in others.Aesthetix Io and Callisto neither one like ... | |
| More Efficient Sound Labs on The Way? I owned the new cores and estimate the efficiency gain was at least 6 DB. Soundlab is shooting for 9 DB and perhaps when completely broken in, they may well achieve that.As for the A-1, it is no better performer than the M-1. The A-1 costs more du... | |
| EAR 834P tube swapin I have not done any mods but have tried several tubes. My conclusion is the stock tubes are surprisingly well matched and perform very well. I expected to get huge gains when I went to smooth plate Telefunken's in mine and although it was an impro... | |
| Anyone have an opinion on Audio Research DAC-2 ? I owned the ARC DAC-2 and thought it was excellent. It is not the last word in resolution but musical enough to make you forget about it. It shines on female vocals which is (in my opinion) a tough frequency to get right. | |
| Problems with Siemens CCa 6922 tubes? You did not mention what the amplifier is. A few years ago I owned a prominent name brand amplifier that used 6922 tubes and after destroying several NOS Telefunkens and Amperex tubes, discovered the bias was in error by 300%.Might check yours. Ot... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Eldartford, that explanation is a fraction of what occurs when electricity passes through wire. In fact, I think next to proper gauge for the conductor, possibly the most important thing is the insulation.Insulation can store energy and release it... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? DarrylhifiHas anyone ever actually listened to a high end system in a hospital ? Those long marble halls must have great acoustics.Your right about the marble halls Darryl. Unknown to many folks, the song made famous by Elvis Presley "Hound Dog" w... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Like certain Audiogon members, the owner of the dog was more concerned with what the dog said (specifications) than the fact he could speak. | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Eldartford, know a guy who claims that his dog can talk. He has all the nitty gritty details...the dog speaks Spanish, and with a Cuban accent, and often quotes poetry. The damn dog just barks at me, but the guy swears it's true. Should I believe ... | |
| What is your favorite line source speaker? Gregadd.Wichita Falls, Texas is a long way from Canada :^). I think they will rock, especially after meeting Danny of GR Research. | |
| What is your favorite line source speaker? Gregadd, here is a super speaker at a very reasonable price. I have heard them several times and personally prefer them to the Epiphany.http://www.gr-research.com/AlphaLS/Alpha.htmBetter still, they sell for $5890.00 a pair. A new model is in the ... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Eldartford., I wish it were so. My system is the culmination of years of investing, selling and trading. Much of what I have would not be possible had I not done photography for many of the high end audio manufacturers.As for outlets, I have avoid... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Eldartford,The reason I ignored your comparison to Leonardo da Vinci is that we are dealing with decidedly smaller minds here. My comments did not include the great creators and artists who's worth has been proven by history, but rather observatio... |
