| Whats on your turntable tonight? Eva Cassidy anything, slaw. She just reaches inside me, can't explain it. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks, slaw! I think I've chimed in a couple times on this thread. And that LP does sound great. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Eagles - Hell Freezes Over - 25th anniversary re-issue | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Afraid of having nice tools? That's your takeaway? (I have tons of very nice tools) Phillips screwdrivers are numbered to denote the different sizes of tips. When you were talking about the wire you used for the power cord you built, did you refer... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Fine Phillips head and coarse Phillips head? C'mon, Erik. :)(I think you should try the factory power cord. Mine was very good) | |
| What equipment have you bought this year so far ? MoFi Ultradeck and their Master Tracker cartridge. Love it. Next month is the last payment on the Visa for last year's amp and speakers. 0% for 21 months, thanks, CitiBank. | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Erik, I'm curious if you ever actually tried the factory cord. I think Luxman supplies a pretty good one, I'd be interested to know how it compares. | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing If you consider my comments a personal attack, that certainly wasn’t my intent, Erik. I’m always surprised by people that post their thoughts and are then upset when every other person doesn’t agree. Stereos, cats, widgets, doesn’t matter. I’ll re... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing 04-20-2019 4:47pmI bought the 507 because I could hear the value.I have yet to hear $2,000 worth of value in a power cord. The con men and the conned. Also, I never built the cable components purely because I wanted to save $16. I bought it for f... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing You could also have saved money by not buying your 507 amp and listened to music on your phone instead. Apples and oranges, comparing the two is pointless. I certainly don't fault you for building your own power cord, but comparing it to anything ... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing When you are not buying $2,000 power cables, but DIY'ing for $100, you are saving money. :) I assume this is a typo, and you meant $200, not $2000. | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Erik, my 590 is the same, no ground. Zero issues, someone a while back asked me about "hum", so I powered the amp up with no source running and started turning the volume up. Dead quiet. On the power cord post, you don't owe me any apologies. Some... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I realize what you bought, erik. I'm just saying the change was huge with the Red Wave cord. More so than any cable of any kind I've ever bought. I'm not in an apartment, but our house was built in 1952, the wiring is far from modern. | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux erik, I just bought the DH Labs Red Wave power cable that's on sale this month. I've never spent anywhere near that for a power cord, but have to say that I was absolutely stunned at the difference. The most bang for the buck I've ever experienced... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux erik, I understand the cost aspect. My amp is the L-590AX, not the newest AXII, which had just came out when I bought mine. I bought it used, it looked perfect, though, and I paid around $4300 for it. It was a lot of money to me, but still near $5... |
