| Satellite or CATV? Bills fans... I like the turnaround Drew Bledsoe has made and I think he will take them to the playoffs! Also, if Doug Flutie starts that Tennessee game, the Homerun Throwback would have been just a footnote to a Bills victory, and I am a diehard ... | |
| link between speaker and floor When I moved my system to a beautiful black ceramic tile floor, I used 1/2 inch Walker Discs under all the spikes... no spike holes or scratches. | |
| Sound Lab M1 vs Magnepan 3.6 I have auditioned the Sound Labs many times and have owned the Maggies. The SLs have lots more resolution and IMO are not as tweaky in their room placement, toe-in, etc. The Sound Labs throw an enormous sound stage with good tube gear and the HF c... | |
| Should preamp be left turned on? From a recommendation right here in the forum, I just purchased a Pass Aleph P preamp from a fellow Agoner. It does not even have a power switch! It is an excellent piece. | |
| Cardas Caps on unused digital jacks? This is a very subtle tweak, but I beleive they offer an improvement. After covering all the unused jacks in my system with Cardas caps, I listened for several weeks. I then removed them all and noticed that the HF had a bit of an edge and the mid... | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions My bad...I am courting suggestions on the purchase of a class A biased amp. Evidently, many of them are also Class A in quality.My apologies and many thanks! | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions Thanks to all of you for your help! It is with your help that I found and purchased a Pass Labs Aleph P Class A preamp with adjustable gain right here on Audiogon, and I am sure I can do the same in my search for a class A amplifier. I will make i... | |

| Which gear to ground? Lall, I prefer to never chassis ground any component with and external wire. If a component only has a two-prong power cord, such as TVs and CATV boxes, then an external ground should not be needed. I also prefer not to use cheater plugs on 3-pron... | |
| Electronics don't matter, Part III Sounds like you have a great combo! Burn in generally reveals itself as a more liquid, natural sound and the removal of edginess. Give it a few weeks. Now that you have some excellent gear, it is time to play with positioning your Virgos, they can... | |
| Preamps with variable gain... pros and cons? Thanks guys,I will check out Rowland, Pass and McCormack. | |
| Hurricane sounds - very dynamic but bad LjgjHaving lived through one hurricane is plenty for me... no electricity, no sewer service, no water, contaminated water, debris everywhere, roads and bridges impassable.Lafayette, La. is a great little town, and they sure know how to cook! Love ... | |
| To DAC or not to DAC? Gbm4th, I have a SONY 9000 SACD/DVD. I have added an external Accuphase DC-61 DAC and I am quite pleased with the results. For Redbook CD, the Sony outputs a 44.1 signal which the DAC picks up and re-clocks. I then have the option of up-sampling o... | |
| Curing ground loop hum with a power conditioner ? I agree with Ksales. I have used a Mondial MAGIC ground isolation transformer for my cable TV for over 10 years. Since it was installed, I have never had ground loop hum or needed cheater plugs. I believe they are available at Audio Advisor... a u... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? I have tried numerous setups over the last 20 years and the Walker Valid Points/Discs are the best I have ever heard. |
