| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? I'm here to help save the world from foolish activities that hamper the listening process.Like typing, you mean?Why are you here? Why does one even exist?To discuss audio reproduction receptacles, why else? I use the Porter Ports and a Hubbell, wh... | |
| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? It's a huge waste of valuble time and energy and it will drive you mad trying to hear non-existent differences.So why are you on this thread? | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years Sounds like you're set on the Classe, Paul. Enjoy! | |
| Dynamic Speaker Cable? I second the AP Silver Ovals.Speed & dynamics all the way, especially in comparison with the Transparent cables. Just my opinion, of course. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System You are correct, but if you had good electronics then all you would hear is your bad cables. Your system is only as good as the weakest link.Well put, JD. I certainly wouldn't expect Pavarotti to stretch his lungs with a Mr. Microphone. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System If you buy a very expensive cable, it's only camouflage because you have poor electronics and you try to get the less poor sound from your system. I have a 10000$ system and I will never spend more than 2 to 3 hundreds on cables, even if one day I... | |
| Naming your child after Audio equipment? If it's an A.I. kid, you might opt for 47 Labs.If the child was a surprise, maybe Coincident would be good.Should this be a boy who already has a brother, perhaps Cain (or Cain) would be an appropriate choice.In any event, we're all hoping you hav... | |
| Best power amp below US $ 20.000,00 ?? deHavilland looks like toy next to it, although a much better made one !Considering that you could probably get the $10K deHavilland for several thousand less than retail, the additional $13K to your budget limit should get you what you want witho... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks for the encouragement, Rushton. I often take note of your music selections, as they (and many others on this thread) are outstanding. In fact, I'm off to get some now!Enjoy your weekend,Howard | |
| Best power amp below US $ 20.000,00 ?? The Tom Evans Linear A is another option. Gliderguider loves his. I've not heard it, though this review calls it a home run. I have heard the DeHavilland, several times in fact. It has exactly the qualities you describe in the DIY amp that you heard. | |
| Best power amp below US $ 20.000,00 ?? The amp I liked best so far was a SET amp based on a single GM70 triode - 30 watts of pure triode magic. I still want something of the shelf.This is the off-the-shelf version of what you are describing. Next week Im gonna try some local ICE based... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I hate this thread because we don't have a turntable yet. And I want one now!!!Carry on, folks. I'll be OK... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Kirsten,Welcome to this thread. Thank you for your comments. You've certainly made my day.All the best to you,Howard | |
| Who was Peg? Donald Fagen was big into cribbage, that's all. No great mystery. Michael McDonald couldn't get the harmony right on "parcheezee", so made the switch. | |
| Simple enough? Warren,I'm hesitant to get rid of my baby, but given your predicament, I will sell you the PC off our Francis!Francis! X5 espresso machine. Believe it or not, it bested the Elrod EPS2-Sig on our Lamm preamp (although the Elrod was a sound upgrade ... |
