| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? I think Rx8man lives right next to the local firehouse!Simply do you know what wire that is being used in the cords? WE made a ton of different wire right?. Just looking to understand - I am not looking for any arguements. | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Almarg - agreed caution but the WE wire being used in the cores is NOS so the designer has the ability to check the wire for what that is worth. The wire inside the radios had curent going through it along with some heat. I am by no means an exper... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Clio09 I have purchased similar cables in the past and have also made a few back in the day. Every cable has a sound to it. Some are much better then others. The Helix design is very good at lowering the noise floor, providing details and nice sou... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Simply q is correct, some of the old WE wire was tinned. I am not sure if all of it was. Making a power cord sound good comes down to the design. You can place two wires and a ground in a sleeve and it will work and then you can twist wires, add f... | |
| Class A/Triode-based preamps It depends on the dsign implementation. Heated Triode gear is hard to implement but if the desings eliminate caps in the signal paths then I found most sound better then any other design wth caps in the signal path. | |
| I have a pair of talon audio khite 2004 speakers. For a long time Talon used Sim Audio power amps on the larger Talons so you may want to start there. I did not like the Pass Labs X-250 that I had on the Raven Cs that I once owned. | |
| Counterpoint SA-3.1 and 5.1 Ever try working on a Counterpoint SA-5000 or a SA-220 and doing some of the modifications yourself that Mike offers? The parts are not cheap and it will take you soem time to do the modifications. I always thought that Mike was expensive until I ... | |
| My $99.00 System My buddy Joe has you beat, he is a garage sale junkie. Has a NAD CDP for $5.00, SS power amp 200 wpc for $10, speakers with sub for $10 and an old Sherwood receiver with preamp out for $2.00. Best $27 ever spent! | |
| How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon? You're all a bunch of girly men! | |
| Digital Cable : Cardas Neutral Reference Vs Au24 I agree with Teejay, try the AZ cables even if you start with the Silver Byte version. | |
| Please recommend for my next upgrade If you have not already tried a few tubes in the DAC and preamp then start there. The AI will work great with a cheap pair of AMperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8 tubes (I think that is what is in there) that you can get on ebay for $20. Upgrading your source a... | |
| Difference Between A Blown Tweeter & Crossover ??? run the speaker wire direct to the tweeter an play at a low volume to see if the tweeter works. | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat So far nobody has really given me an info on how the newer upgraded version compares the the older upgraded version. What exactly does it do that is so much better? The cost is not an issue but I don't want a different take on the sound, I want a ... | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat Thanks Lush. I have the older upgraded Bitstream with the Black Gates, etc. At that time, my Bitstream had already a few mods done to it before John got it for his top upgrade. When finished, he told me that mine was one of the best ones that he h... | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat I own the older modified Bitstream. John sent this to me regarding the new upgrades he is offering.The new update is quite a departure sonically from what the previous updates have provided. Where the older update sounded very analogue like with a... |
