Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Rob,I read all sorts of stuff from reviewers, modders, and designers I don't know. Some of it doesn't make sense, so I move on. Had I run across Day's blog on my own, I would have dismissed it without a second thought. You didn't. I can't and won'... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
All, this is a fascinating discussion and most helpful to me. I am beginning the process of building my living room system, which will be based on the Coincident dynamo and utilize Coincident Triumph Extreme II speakers. The room has a very lively... 
Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad?
What Al said. My experience is that while I find certain PCs to be generally to my liking (e.g. VH Audio Airsines), and others not so much, one does well to evaluate as many PCs as possible for each component. Much as I love the Airsines, they don... 
False advertising of expensive special tubes?
I buy something on ebay about once every 2 years, just to remind myself why I shouldn't buy anything on eBay. Too bad, it used to be a real asset back in its first few years. 
Cudos to Brent Jesse
Yep, another satisfied customer here. He is very knowledgeable, and his prices are very good for what you get, which includes his knowledge base. I go to him first, then Upscale. But hey, Brent, how come you didn't send me any free tubes? :) 
oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ?
Wig, which Lampi did you own? I have wondered how those would compare to the MW Sony. I still prefer the MW HAPZ1to the MW 5400, but the 5400 still gets playing time. I have wondered if one of the Lampi's might be worth the investment. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Rebbi, Both of my parents have fallen victim to AD. Mercifully, my Dad passed 2 years ago. My Mom survives. It is hard watching those you love and respect decline and pass. Take your time and morn. Your friends will still be here when the time is ... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
I've never been a big fan of the Mullards, despite all the hype. I prefer the GE 5U4GBs that Israel supplies with the Franks, and they are much cheaper than the Mullards. The CV378 skinnys are great tubes, in my estimation. By all accounts, the fa... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Rob, I am going to leave that 29 ft section of the WE 16 alone until I am sure what I want to do with it. It won't be enough to use with my dynamo based system, which will be in my living room in the new house. I could use it in my main system ups... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Grannyring and Rob, I managed to snag 29 ft based on your recommendations. I'm going to hold it undisturbed until I'm sure how to put it to best use. My guess is that reverse engineering this stuff won't be that hard. But I am glad I got a usable ... 
Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings
Jetrexpro, my thoughts exactly on the Berlin recordings. Those in the Jesus Christus Kirche were much better. As I recall, the change in venue was forced on him and he wasn't happy. 
How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon
Another way to look at this problem is to propose the ideal ad. For me, this would include the following: Age, real audiogon condition rating, good pictures, reason for selling, Links to reviews are fine, if that is something AG permits. 
How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon
There have been a few pieces I would have pursued but for the ad, which screamed " it won't be worth dealing with this problem child seller." For most stuff, it is a buyers market. Sellers do well to act accordingly. 
Early Music aka Historically Informed Music
Al, any Brownsfan can rattle off any number of similarly miraculous plays or series, all of which ended up with the Browns loosing. In addition to the well known Drive and Fumble, you have Red Right 88 and the Dwayne Rudd helmet toss. The list goe...
