What companies have gone above and beyond? Synergistic Research: outstanding for service & support! Recent experiences with their customer service are absolutely impressive! They've taken the time to work with me, address my specific needs, & answer my questions time after time. An... | |
To biwire or not to biwire...? Sherod: sorry there are no hard & fast answers to your questions. Opinions vary all over the map & many are simply opinions based upon no particular experience, but you'll get them nevertheless. Opinions are like ... well you know.That sai... | |
Interconnect length all these opinions - many backed up by with NO experience:I have a source component that consistently sounds better with shorter cabling: it really sounds much better HF-wise with 1/2 meter cabling than longer (& I'm talking about $1000 a pair... | |
resistors in series/parallel questions... no that doesn't matter. As long as the resistor can dissipate the required input power (in this case it is negligible - signal only in the microwatt region) then you're just fine. CJ's recommendation of Vishay is excellent.BTW I meant to say "don'... | |
Bob Bundus was wrong. Hi Darryl I'm a little late here, stumbling onto this thread with *my name* on it no less...But hey - now you know I wasn't kidding one bit; these outlets are definitely Major League & there's nothing out there that can beat them at any price.... | |
What are output barrier strips? speaking of barrier strips I need some quality made 10-terminal strips made of quality material (or at least gold plated) does anyone have a source suggestion?I guess they'd all have to be made of a steel base metal, or the screws would strip righ... | |
resistors in series/parallel questions... don't seat the close-tolerance resistance-value issue,as much as being concerned about the quality of the resistors themselves...In Other Words:get some quality low noise noninductive parts from Michael Percy Audio. 1/8 watt or even 1/10 watt will... | |
Earbuds & Motion Sickness? forget the dramamine (nasty stuff) try the seasickness accupressure wristbands. Those things realy work for motion sickness - might even help out the earbud situation? | |
Amps get all the thunder, what about preamps? Yes indeed Brian - what about preamps? The pre is ONLY the most important component in an audio system. Some may run without one & thinking that they're better off, but they may or may not be getting all of the performance possible from their ... | |
Gruv Glide and CD's I only use GruvGlide on LP'sIf you want a much more economical ($6.95 for a 12 oz. spray can) antistatic treatment for the label side of your CD's, CD player trays, all of your cabling, turntable covers, etc, get a can of Endust For Electronics at... | |
"The Heat is On" -- ALERT there's a product reportedly suitable for speaker surround treatment mentioned in the last "Stereophile - Fine Tunes" June 2002 issue, before Skull left the mag. "Meguiar's #40 Vinyl & Rubber Conditioner". Scull also mentions a couple of other... | |
High-tension power lines and audio yank just wait until it rains: you'll hear & see the corona discharging around the insulators & smell the ozone in the air. This generates a LOT of EMI/RFI & you may or may not notice some noise pickup issues in that regard. If you lik... | |
Reel to Reel Question? I think you have this all figured out. Both arms appear to play a role in dynamic tape tensioning & will change position as the spools empty/fill left-to-right. One arm also controls motor shutoff when the supply reel runs out. Teac's are soli... | |
Dedicated Lines - specific questions try an industrial electrical supply if you can't find it at the hardware store. I found mine on 50 foot long spools at the farm store - very economical. | |
PC/Conditioner question it's possible that the enhanced resolution that you are now experiencing is due to the interconnects - you were simply not able to hear the problems until now? |
