| Listening room lighting that won't cause problems 120 volt and low volt tungsten halogen produce the most beautiful light, much superior to flickering fluorescent or traditional low color temperature bulbs. I use only tungsten halogen, mostly Lightolier, throughout my home. There are a dozen or m... | |
| New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells Docjr8156, I sent you instructions via Audiogon email system. Thanks to you and everyone supporting this group purchase. Audiogon has been very accommodating in allowing this open forum and discount purchase. What does everyone think about our pur... | |
| Purist Audio Colossus speaker cables... wow Venustas does depart from the Purist family sound. I have the complete line of Purist cable here in my photo studio, doing the new product line brochure.The sound of the fluid jacketed cables is slightly less resolved sounding and less forward sou... | |
| Sound Lab Millennium 1 spl ability? Nadimgargour, it is unfortunate that 100 plus DB at 12 feet is inadequate for your needs. My system delivers that consistently with Wolcotts and I have a fairly large space.The problem with Soundlab is that they seem to produce no volume due to ul... | |
| Any surround better than none at all? I think almost any surround is better than nothing. I am definitely a dedicated two channel guy, but I would prefer Radio Shack for sides (rear) than nothing at all.Movies are for fun. One of the few times the entire family sits together to listen... | |
| New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells Ehart, two of these serves equally well as a quad outlet and fits into a standard two gang electrical box. I have confirmed orders for 32, we are getting close. | |
| Goldmund Studio-still one of the best? Do you live near Germany where service may be had? Would this shop be responsible for set up, insuring it functions properly? I ask because this is a complex turntable. | |
| Best CDP isolation device you use? My best results were with Symposium Roller Blocks with Tungsten upgrade sitting on a two inch Maple butcher block shelf. I also placed a slim line plastic box filled with lead shot on top, then swapped the power cord and interconnects for audiophi... | |
| Punctured Woofer My first reaction is to fill the holes with General Electric Silicone. I would use the black color and use as little as possible, but enough to do the job. Before following my advice, I would see if other members have better ideas. Chances are ML ... | |
| 6L6 G 6L6 WGT WHAT's the difference The General Electric Essential Characteristics handbook lists them as having the same electrical specifications.The Tube Substitution handbook says that all the 6L6 types are interchangeable, as well as 5881 and 7581 and in some circuits the 5932 ... | |
| How long does it take to break in the Hexfred? It's very possible that 100 hours is not enough for your new Capacitor. Cap changes are extremely audible in both amps and speakers, especially when compared to the old part that may have thousands of hours on it.On the other hand, after swapping ... | |
| Lee Morgan I have "Sidewinder," a great LP. The old Blue Note (#4157) from 61st street NYC, was bought used and is pretty noisy. My new copy, Blue Note (#46137) was pressed in 1997 by Capital Records and is dead quiet.Lee's earlier LP titled "Candy," is also... | |
| Why does this circa '75 receiver sound so good? I was a salesman in the audio business in 1975 and understand what you are talking about. The Yamaha and Kenwood electronics of that era were particularly great for the buck . I remember one Yahama receiver, about 20 watts per channel and sold for... | |
| Tube amp power conditioning? I use no power conditioning at all, just dedicated lines and good outlets. The fact that you prefer your Arnov with no conditioning is not surprising. Many amplifiers suffer compression and even bandwidth loss with power conditioners.I don't doubt... |
