| What is the best RCA interconnect? Mazad6, Tpreaves post shows this is a very debatable question. No, I don't think he's making fun of you, and I suspect that if this thread stays up long enough every brand of cable made will be claimed "the best" :^).You must listen for yourself. ... | |
| Why no professional reviews of Evolution Acoustic I gave the MM3 Writers Choice product of the year award at PFO. Granted it's not a full review but I was as positive as I dared be for a product not in my possession long term.http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue28/awards2006.htmscroll down abou... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Why don't you ask Ken Fritz, alias Fritz the Cat? He built a very heavy turntable and posted it here at Audiogon.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1167689302 | |
| Why are there so many Mac users? I'm a Mac user, never had anything else and like Jax2 use it for my photo business where processing is vital.Here are links to a web site that is critical of everything computer, they beat on Mac, Google and others but have a heyday with Microsoft... | |
| Wolcotts - who can troubleshoot/service them? Ivanj, the title of your thread says Wolcott, is that the amp that's going through tubes and no sound?What factory rep recommended the Chinese tubes? Are you speaking to a tube rep or someone from Wolcott? | |
| Direct Drive turntables Agree with Mike Lavigne and Teres, I've owned a lot of tables since my Thorens TD124 back in 1965 and my return to rim drive and discovery of "excellence" in direct drive has moved me completely away from belts.Many belt drives like the air bearin... | |
| Can the glass on a tube be repaired??? Maybe if it's rare enough might be worth searching for this guy:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-9843011-47.htmlWhat GMC and Narrod posted is correct, the tube is destroyed unless the glass can be remade and vacuum restored. Unless the tube is so... | |
| AC 101 : Voltage Question I have my space wired for both 120 and 240, comes in handy sometimes. The 60 Hz USA standard is easier on 50 Hz power supplies so equipment set up for Europe works fine in the USA, provided you get the 240 V right.All that being said, I've had thr... | |
| TWO custom built subwoofers I don't know your setup, but if possible I would run two sets of interconnect cables from the preamp, one to main speaker amp and the other to the subs. A few questions that might help us, how much power is your Hypex class D sub amp and how does ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE Agree, still looking for more input on the upgrade before the offer expires. | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE 11-18-09: Jp1208Jp1208, (Paul) I'm trying to figure out why you copied and pasted the post from Jimmm18 entered on this thread on 11-13-09. Granted I did not compare word for word, were you making a point? Edited to make it into something funny? | |
| Replacement for Vandersteen 2C Since you have been satisfied with your Vandersteen 2C, I would buy the improved version.Probably the 2Ce signature or older 2Ce used here at Audiogon. If you must go smaller the 1C from Vandersteen is a great speaker, far better performer than it... | |
| Line voltage is 116 not 120 why? As Philjolet posted, not uncommon at all. I've seen homes with 112 at the outlet and others at 129.My home is 121.7, so pretty close to what it should be. I would not worry, the real problems come with very low and very high voltage. Two years ago... | |
| Why Can't Tubes Be Mass-Produced Cheaply? I respect ARC and if I didn't own what I have now I would be trying out the new Ref 5 and new phono from ARC.ARC style is nice, clean lines and no nonsense controls. Their workmanship is first rate as is their chassis. The new remote control is su... | |
| Why Can't Tubes Be Mass-Produced Cheaply? Thanks for the info, Albert. I really don't know much about the 6H30s.Sgn,It's not a new tube, it was designed for Russian military. Some people love them and some don't. I respect the design and emphasize the fact manufacturers need current produ... |
