| Cables for B&W 805S Au24 goes very well with B&W's....I previously owned a pair of B&W CM2 Concept 90 speakers...and it matched very well. The AU24 smoothed out the slight edginess of the B&W metal dome tweeter.Calgarian | |
| May Day May Day My mom and dad had a restaurant in small town Saskatchewan (Canada) and my first exposure to records was in their old Seeburg jukebox that played 45's. I was fascinated by how the jukebox would pull out 45's from the slot, play them, and then pop ... | |
| Balanced xlr or rca for Ayre C5xe I definitely prefer the XLR output vs the RCA output on my C-5xe. When making the comparison, it is very important that both outputs have been properly burned in. I've had my Ayre 3/4 of a year now and it just keeps sounding better and better.calg... | |

| Subwoofer Power Cord Suggestions I had owned an REL Q150E and had used the Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler for it's power cord. I wasn't a big fan of the A/C Master Coupler with any other component in my system with the exception of the Subwoofer, where I thought it was a... | |
| Arcam CD player history I believe the Arcam cd players that used the excellent dcs ring DAC were the Alpha 9, the Diva CD92, and the FMJ 23. The CD93, I believe, uses the Wolfson DAC which, many believe, does not sound as good as the ring dac machines.Each player as I've... | |
| HiFI Fuses ? I have replaced the stock fuses in my system with the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses in my Ayre C-5xe, Aesthetix Calypso, and my YBA Alpha2 amplifier.The result of changing the fuses in the Ayre and the Aesthetix resulted in greater detail and upper end exten... | |
| TDK SA-X or Maxell XLII-S which do you prefer? I've always liked TDK's product over Maxell's. What's really cool was TDK's reference MA-R with the metal internal sturcture and the see through casing. I don't think they make it anymore though. | |
| Gain Tubes vs Output Tubes - Aesthetix Calypso Ok, I purchased a pair of Amperex 12ax7's from Andy at Vintage Tube Services and like the sound of them compared to the stock tubes that came with my Aesthetix Calypso. I found the stock tubes to offer a bit more lower end response (deeper or perh... | |

| Spike/Surge Protection jependleton...Thanks for the reply. Do they make surge supressors only for the television cable? I don't think I've seen these before. I'll run to Best Buy tomorrow to see if I can find one...calgarian | |
| Shelter 501 mk 2/ ZYX R100H Daemon...When you get a chance to break your cartridge in, do report back and let us know how it sounds. What cartridge did you own previously? I look forward to your assessment.calgarian | |
| Record Cleaners / RCMs Update. I had decided to purchase the KAB and called them twice and left messages for them to call me. No response. I'm assuming he didn't call me back because I was located in Canada. Who knows.... Instead, I ended up purchasing the Nitty Gritty ... |
