| JADE AUDIO Cables Jafox,I have been wanting to try the Gabriel cables for a while and the Revelation are on my list as well, but I thought I may as well try the Extremes to get started. BTW - there were 4 pair available and I'm only getting 1 pair, maybe Steve will... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Speaking of Stealth, anyone try the M-5000? I'm interested in trying one but thought maybe someone would be able to give an opinion of it first. Of course, if it is an all or nothing proposition with Stealth power cables that might not be a good s... | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? Pubul57, why not try both the BPT and Hot Box, they both come with a trial. I don't know anyone who does trials for the RSA products though. You could buy a Haley used as they come up every now and again. Try calling Dan at Dedicated Audio, maybe ... | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? First, yes, I plug my amp into the Haley. There is enough headroom left over from the 1800 watt max (I'm in the 1000 watt neighborhood) and I have heard no negative effects on the sound.Second, I have tried some isolation transformers with my digi... | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? Pubul57, I spoke to Dan and Lenny about this at RMAF last year. While I cold not totally decipher their response, I was left with the impression that the Haley does not provide true isolation in the manner that other conditioners provide this feat... | |
| MC Phono Stage w/ Attenuator?? Not sure what your timetable is, but occasionally you will see a used K&K Audio SE with a DaCT attenuator in your price range. | |
| Dynavector XX2 and Phonomena Musical Surroundings According to the website the Phonomena has adjustable loading from 30 ohms - 100 k-ohms in 128 steps. Seems pretty flexible. Dynavector recommends a load of >30 ohms on the cartridge. Typically you should load the cartridge where it sounds best... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage "I still think many, not all by any means, offer a somewhat euphonic coloration that some people love and find to be more "musical" to their ears or in the synergy of their systems." Excellent point Teajay. I have a K&K TVC that uses S&B T... | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End Why not try this experiement, which is totally risk free. Contact Robert at Ridge Street Audio and buy a few of his Z-der blocks. These units perform power factor correction. If you're using dedicated lines and want to continue to take advantage o... | |
| Audio Logic 24MXL compared to Audio Logic 34MXL Ezra,Didn't you have your 24MXL modified by TRL? Also, what happened to the Esoteric X03 combo? | |
| platine motor with nylon thread Ken,Thanks for the information. I have seen the Stren superbraid online at Dicks and Modells. I'm using a Scheu Analog Premier table and one of the upgrades recommended is to ditch the nylon thread they supply and get fishing line. This will be an... | |
| platine motor with nylon thread Ken,On the Spider Line website it lists the Spider Wire original braid 125 foot spool for $20 (freshwater or saltwater, superfine). Is this what you are referring to? The Stealth and Ultracast versions are braided but appear to use teflon. | |
| Teres still the way to go? I'm not sure there is a hard delivery date for the Serac. In my conversations with Thom he has been extremely busy of late and balancing a few different projects. Also, I know he is intent on making sure every inch of the Serac is up to his qualit... | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End He absolutely will and will also work with you to configure it with the most appropriate Oyaide outlets to match to your system. A custom home audition piece, now that is service. | |
| Suggestion for preamp - Spendor's & Cary I used the Cary V12i with my Spendor 1/2e speakers and at 50 watts triode/100 watts ultralinear that just was not enough power for them. I moved to a 225 watt custom made solid state amp and the difference was not subtle. The speakers really opene... |
