| Neutrik XLR to RCA Adapters Well, I received the Neutrik adapters I ordered from Zack Electronics. They look OK, oter than the fact that they come in pieces and you're supposed to solder the connections yourself. I checked the mastertek site, and they do this for you, though... | |
| Neutrik XLR to RCA Adapters Swampwalker - Yes, I am using these on a BAT VK 5i SE pre. I have one set from BAT which I use w/ my analog fron end. Works fine, though I have no way of knowing if its detrimental to the sound (phono pre amp had no balanced outputs, so would have... | |
| Din plug to RCA adaptor I'm pretty sure Cardas makes a high quality adpator. I think The Elusive Disc and/or Music Direct carry it. | |
| Neutrik XLR to RCA Adapters Well, after another hour or so on the Web, I have found a supplier. For those who are interested, they are Zack Electronics (zackinc.com). They charge $ 6 per adpater..plus sales tax if you live in California or Illinois. Should have some next wee... | |
| 6550 vs KT88 vs KT90 I second the vote for the Svetlana KT 88 vs 6550 (haven't tried KT 90's). Just retubed my Aronov monoblocks with KT 88's from Upscale Audio and the improvements in the midrange and the top end are dramatic. If the bottom end is less defined, I sur... | |
| Neutrik XLR to RCA Adapters Sedond Thanks. Youd' be surprised if you went into business. I have checked the local pro-shops (as well as a few on the net) and they carry crap | |
| Help! Aronov Amp Fuse - Where to find? Thanks. Finally got thru to Aronov. The Radio Shack fuses work fine. | |
| Vinyl vs. CD joe-b, I would also love have a look at your list. I listen to LP's on a Linn LP12/Lingo/Ekos/Klyde set-up, and to CD/DVD on a Muse 8/296. Love them both. For the most part, I prefer to listen to LP's if I have a good, clean pressing of a recordin... | |
| Aronov Amplifiers - Opinions? Eldragon - Check out Audioasylum.com. Do a search for Aronov in the Tubes section. Several of the "inmates" have Aronov integrateds and seem to be v. happy with them. | |
| Bass Cable-Copper or Silver? I just upgraded from an internally bi-wired pair of AQ Argnet+ to a double bi-wired run of Clear SE (feeding SF Guarneri Homage speakers). Biggest change (for me) was not so much tonal balance (though sibilance on bright recordings farmore subdued... | |
| Cheap Powercords...worth the effort??? I want to put in another vote for BMI. I just "got into" power cords last momh after hearing waht a Master Coupler did for my preamp. After doing some research, I decided to take a chance on BMI's EEL power cord, and am now on my fourth one (pre, ... | |
| "Burn In" Question Bob - i have seen comments on this topic on other threads, but never a clear POV. Should tube preamps be left on? Tube amps? I currently switch off my tube amos, but tend t leave the preamp on. | |
| Who R U? Treyhoss - I have stories galore..but many my wife shouldn't know about, so I think I'll save the book for when I'm REALLY old. BTW, a build on the thread. I posted a message a while back asing if there were any audiophiles in Cincinnati, OH. Via ... | |
| Who R U? Well, I am a relative newcomer to Audiogon, but here it goes anyway. I am 36 years old (for a few more weeks!), and was born in Havana, Cuba. I moved from Cuba to Spain in 1976,and came to the US in 1978. After a few years in (where else?) Miami, ... | |
| Speakers - rear wall placement Also try speakers from Linn. The Kabers and the AV 5140's are nice. For less money, the Keilidh's were also pretty impressive. IWhat these speakers do best is rhythm and pace. Mind you, I never actually bought any of these, but for a few years I o... |
