Jan 04, 2004	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Zaikesman, are you saying we audiophiles are being strung along? :^)If so, perhaps a better name for Coronas new cords would be Silly String. Im about half serious, it would disarm most people with a laugh and maybe drop their defenses long en...
Jan 04, 2004	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? S23chang. Ive been following this thread and I believe Zakes problem began with Coronas post on 12-14-03. Any of you Audiogoners that not yet investigated String Theory check it out on the net; its implementation is whats going to divide t...
Jan 04, 2004	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Agreed. All scientific theory aside, maybe Corona will allow you or I to listen and determine if they work in our situation.
Jan 04, 2004	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Ive followed this thread for awhile but hesitated to join in. It almost read like a private email exchange of ideas due to the character of the responses. Some of what every member has posted seems factual (at least part of it, based on my experi...
Jan 03, 2004	I auditioned SACD today I think you should send all those old nasty LPs to me and replace them with SACD.
Jan 02, 2004	Problems with Lutron Light Dimmers causing a Buzz I have an idea that may or may not help. The big change in electrical here is the Soundlab A3s power supply which plugs into the wall, providing an additional ground plane. The Tube Research is typically not grounded, (my GT 400s were not). Howe...

Dec 30, 2003	Which Tube Amp? BAT and Wolcott both have auto bias and are good products. BAT uses 6C33C tubes and Wolcott uses EL34. Both have their strengths. The Wolcott at 220 watts is more powerful and may be found in your price range used.Most other tube amps need a VOM, ...
Dec 24, 2003	Record sleeves? Exactly the kind of responses we need from retailers and audio manufacturers!Thanks Red Trumpet for the information, and all the great LPs Ive purchased from your site.
Dec 22, 2003	New Sony NS999ES is in. American beer? All this time I thought you had good taste :^).
Dec 22, 2003	New Sony NS999ES is in. Ben if you are serious about travel to the USA, I would love for you to make a stop at my home for some music and beer.By the way, when I traveled to Scotland a few years ago with my wife, we toured the famous Whiskey makers. I only drink single m...
Dec 21, 2003	Foam RPG skylines My foam RPG panels did best with common latex house paint. Anything that comes in a spray can with the rattling ball attacks the foam and dissolves it.Latex paint can be mixed any color and available in flat and semi gloss. I used flat and match...
Dec 15, 2003	High End Myth Glossary. Agree with your comments about room acoustics, especially reflective surfaces. Im not certain what the term audio furniture covers. If the manufacturer builds a cabinet with similar construction as home furniture, then says it has mystical proper...
Dec 15, 2003	High End Myth Glossary. Pbb, perhaps Ultraviolet is referring to the effect of furniture in the room. I can clearly hear position of drapes, rugs and even the change from moving around larger pieces such as sofas and love seats.It is also possible to hear the difference...
