| Subwoofer Power Cord Suggestions Just upgraded the power cord for my Velodyne DD-12 to Oyaide Tunami Nigo with P/C-046 connectors from Synergistic Research Active AC Master Coupler (X-series). Speed, integration and texture are significantly improved. Since I sold my REL Stentor ... | |
| Best audio cabinet for people with pets As an audiophile of 25 years and a "cat slave" now with 9 cats, I don't find cats to be a threat to equipment on open stands. Just protect the gear on the top shelf from cat hair and vomit, which may short out the piece. Alan Hsu | |
| Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe?

| Subwoofer Cables. How important is quality? With regard to subwoofer cables - interconnect and power cord - I have some pretty enlightening experince.

| Esoteric DV-50 'S' Upgrade D1/D2/D3/D4 are more like fool-proof component video connections for domestic Japan market. D1 = standard def.D2 = D1 + 480pD3 = D2 + 1080iD4 = D3 + 720PAlan Hsu | |
| Upgrading stock XLR jacks XLO with direct gold-plated beryllium copper contacts should be good. Michael Percy seems to be the only source though:http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf | |
| Accuphase voltage conversion 110/120 to 230 VAC I believe most if not all Accuphases feature Japanese-, US- and European-voltage secondaries. A case in point is the Accuphase DP70 (see the last picture on the Chinese webpage:http://eddie.dyec.com.tw/diy-demo/audio-diy/cd_dvd_modify/accuphase_dp... | |
| WBT Nextgens A technician at the local DIY parts supplier/modder THL Audio told me one customer had replaced his older WBT socket with the silver NextGen and found the improvement worthwhile. It's for S/PDIF application though. | |
