| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance Can you please chart the numbers you used, my calculations are different then yours. I used 1/2*3.14*100 or 50*255), neither one of the impdencance vlaues match your solution. I got 20017.5 Using the same forumula, and for my system, I have 14 foo... | |
| Are more turntable motors better? From my experience, having had only one 1 motor and then upgrading to 3 later on with my Transrotor turntable, I think the merits are both from what the designer puts and what the customer wants. I decided to go with a 3 motor setup after upgradin... | |
| Aesthetix IO Modifications Is the mod to the IO also applicable to the IO SIGNATURE? I would be interested in to what the mod to the Signature is compared to the next level from Aesthetix for the IO series. How much did the mod cost and how long was the turn-around time? Wh... | |
| Why is Acustic the best ... I think my German engineered all polished aluminum 80mm three motor Transrotor is the best! Not really, I think it is a matter of perspective. What is best for someone is not best for someone else. I woule like to think that mine with all of the u... | |
| Tube Amp to play with my B&W 803D I have had great experience with tubes and B&W's. In fact I am running 800's with a pair of 150watt tube monoblocks with no problems. It is all about what you are after and tubes provide me a sense of musicality enjoyment that SS does not or h... | |

| Audioquest DBS System The only way to tell if the batteries need replacing is to use the tester on the battery back. Of course if you do use the tester and the light is not a bright green but a faint flicker then you should check the connections and perhaps change the ... | |
| Power Receptacles - Review and Comparison Where is their information about this receptacle? I looked at the web site and did not find anything about it, only the power cords. Thanks, Audioquest4life | |
| "Breathing" of the air I read this discussion with much interest. It appears that most agree that "Air" is some sort of phenomena that happens when playing back music and listeners are able to discern distinct traits in the audible queue such as echo, reverb, delay in t... | |
| Anyone listen to Octave 500SE or Jubilee preamps? Yes, I did compare the 500SE to the Einstein preamp. That was a great sounding preamp with a different flavor of soundstage, also more closer then the 500SE. Right off the Einstein had substantially more bass then the 500SE, I am not sure, I think... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Tom, The AHP breakers allow one to experiment with either the gold plated cooper or silver fuses. I have settled on the copper fuses for the main circuit driving my amps, while the rest of the equipment on another fuse block is using a silver fuse... | |
| Anyone listen to Octave 500SE or Jubilee preamps? I have the Octave HP500SE and have autioned the Jubilee preamp as well. I can say that they are both close in character, with the Jubilee exhiting a more frontal presentation versus the 500SE's more 5th or 6th row presentation. The 500SE I won has... | |
