| Anyone have problems with Arcam digital gear several years ago I auditioned an Alpha 9, but didn't much care for the sound. The EAD Ultradisc 2000 cleaned it's clock. Can't speak to any reliability issues, only that single brief experience. | |
| Tube Pre for Klipschorn Hi Calvin you have a difficult tradeoff situation here.I think the decision depends upon your listening preferences: do you want tube holography & euphonics, or solid state speed--- slam/dynamics & iron fisted bass-control? I've always pre... | |
| High End Myth Glossary. The "worst troll of" ever seen on Audiogon has just been posted only as of today; it's at the very top of this page! Talk about misinformation! And then proudly paraded as gospel no less. Elizabeth's post is closest that I can come to agreeing wit... | |
| Review: Klipsch La Scala Speaker Jax to answer your ? regarding the AA's: I find that changing the onboard wiring to a better grade of copper (I have Kimber TCX for LF & mid's - TCSS for HF's) & adding 0.01uF nonpolar Kimbercaps paralleled to the existing oilcaps has help... | |
| Help -- my system is too bright perhaps an RC Zoebel network installed across each of the tweeter's terminals may help, if in fact the ringing phenomenon is occuring. Dunno exactly how that could be verified, but it may be a fairly easy experiment to try out a network. I've neve... | |

| Killer female vocal recordings-show me the light.. Warren this one's also not on your list, but I love Stevie Nicks' vocals. Her "Enchanted" release (boxed set of 3) sounds fantastic & is even HDCD encoded. Of course they'll still play on any 16 bit machine. | |

| Help -- my system is too bright Now, this brings up another point. Already, some posters are counseling cable and power cord adjustments to give this system ___. This, IMO, is how people getduped into blowing a lot of unneccessary money on cables.Cables will not produce ___ in s... | |
| Review: Klipsch La Scala Speaker Hi PurepwrI think that you already know what you're doing, moreso than you know. I wouldn't fall for using those hot, inefficient, noisy, microphonic, unreliable, expensive, maintenance intensive tubes with horns - they just never worked well for ... | |
| Active shielding. What is? the current is only just enough to light an LED: 10 to 20mA DC | |
| Accuphase A-50v + Accuphse DP-75v : CABLES????? One of our esteemed members prefers & has recommended Tara Labs The One AC cable for A-50V. I've never tried one however.I still like Synergistic's Designer Reference Squared (X-series is best, but the earlier non-active shielded models also d... | |
| power interuption, what to do?? Tom Lyon will probably chime in here later - he has a fascinating, albeit not inexpensive, inverter solution that would work but the cost may be prohibitive.Typical home computer inverter UPS's are very noisy & are not what you want here. A qu... | |
