| Where might I find cheater plugs? Better results may be obtained by lifting the ground from the male end of the power cord. This assumes you feel confident in tackling the job, and your cables are not the molded factory variety.I have seen many pieces of electronics fitted with th... | |
| Speaker connected to amp and surround? If I understand you correctly, you have two amplifiers connected to the same pair of speakers. I would be concerned for the amplifiers if this is the case, as the outputs will most certainly be damaged in one or possibly both of these when powered... | |
| Tube selection The Sovtek does have good bass. The Telefunken should provide equal or better, in addition to the improved highs you are already aware of. There is always the possibility that your units were designed around the Sovtek and both of them prefer the ... | |
| What is your OTHER passion? HEY! I resemble that remark. | |
| Priorities, who makes the rules anyway? In other words, the car drives you crazy, the music drives you happy. | |
| Need advice please..... There is always the possibility of having one custom built by Sound Anchor. These come factory filled and supplied with spikes. Available with open metal architecture that your equipment rests on directly, or constructed with non adjustable shelve... | |
| Stereophile Cornfed, at least you did not get a copy of "point source" it is a totally blank sheet of paper with a small dot in the center. The dot cannot be decoded, it is just what it looks like, a period from a periodical. | |

| HOW MUCH GAIN ????? Thomasheisig, I agree with your evaluation, and would like to add the Aesthetix IO to the list. Are you in Europe? | |
| What is your OTHER passion? My other dedication is photography. It is my profession and art, and it supports my audio habit. Those that wish to view my site: http://www.albertporterphoto.comMy site requires a plug in to view the images. This requires a few moments to downloa... | |
| Anybody wanna see my DIY 300B amp? Man! What a beautiful amp, thanks for sharing the images with us. How does it sound, how much does it cost to build, and where are the plans? | |
| Party At Albertporter s Stereokarter, how about bringing along some Canadian Bacon for the burgers? | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Jhunter has received the test power cords from Purist Audio, and this morning I emailed him to be certain that they arrived in good condition. I am hoping that before too long, Jordan will have a complete report. | |
| Tubes for BAT VK-D5 Two other choices are the Mullard gold pin 6922 and Telefunken 6DJ8. The Tele is the most beautiful tonal balance, and by far the most expensive. The Mullard is not as difficult to find, and could be the least expensive of this group. I have a who... |
