| spkr cable: copper, silver or combo/hybrid? Pmboyd,Sorry, I misread your post. From my research good silver speaker cables will present a lot of detail, but lack the warmth of copper. Since you're using hybrid ICs it may be worth trying the silver cables, but my Alpha Core/Goertz recommenda... | |
| spkr cable: copper, silver or combo/hybrid? I'm buying Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity. They have a Python MI-2 bi-wire as well that is in your budget. If you want to experiment they also have a Python Hybrid bi-wire, but it will cost you more. Like you I also use silver ICs (Nordost Red Da... | |
| Mod for Sony SCD-1 or Different Player? If you must mod it Tube Research Lab is the place to go. If you like Sony you may want to check out the other Sony CD players they have modded. This way you can keep your existing Sony stock. The TRL Sony 595 has gotten a lot of notice and great r... | |
| Which of the following preamps? The AES products are a great value and if you're willing to go a little higher there is a Cary SLP-88 on Audiogon for $950. | |
| Would a new cd player make a difference? I used to own Kyocera products and thought they made quality gear back in the day. I was especially pleased with their top of the line tape deck that was literally a Dragon (Nak) slayer at about half the price. I was in a similar situation just a ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A300 mod by Tube Research Labs Lkdog,When talking to Paul about the Alesis he explained that major improvements could only be made on the digital side and that they could not do the things that they would normally like on the analogue side as the board in the Alesis prevented i... | |
| CJ Premier 18/Cary slp 98-which is closer to PF-R? Kops,What tubes are you using/tried with the SLP-98? I'm using an original Electraglide pc right now, but am looking into a VH Audio Airsine, Michael Wolff, and Electraglide UK (seems like there are some good deals on these here). I'll check into ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A300 mod by Tube Research Labs I just purchased a TRL modded Alesis ML9600 (using as a transport only per Paul) from a third-party (recommended by Paul) and I'm amazed at how the sound improves daily. After some email conversations with Paul I'm convinced that they will mod my ... | |
| Need advice on speaker cables Loonytunz,Thanks for your help. I did see that discussion on the AC site, as well as the RCs. I did not know that the RCs were in fact the network, this clarifies it. It is rather simple, although the Merlin set-up looks pretty cool. I take it the... | |
| CJ Premier 18/Cary slp 98-which is closer to PF-R? I just purchased an SLP-98L and even with stock tubes it sounds very nice. It brings the music to life. Eventually I'll do some tube rolling, but will probably keep the rest of it stock. | |
| Need advice on speaker cables Loonytunz,I have read about the use of the Zobel network with certain amps to avoid having them oscillate. Is this correct? I assume the network is an external application. Can you elaborate a little more on what types of amps would require this n... | |

| Need advice on speaker cables Danlib1,It's the first two items on your checklist that worry me. I realize its not a big thing to accomplish, but I have cats and they would have a field day hurdling the set up (I live in an open room loft, lots of space but little separation). ... | |
| PS Audio vs. Cary Shimanole,The Cary's you're looking at are pretty low maintenance. They would also be a good intro to tube gear without a large investment. If you move up to a Rocket and SLP then you really are making a committment (albeit at still a small invest... | |
| Need advice on speaker cables Danlib1,I'm looking very closely at the Anti Cables. Heck, with the money back guarantee I'd be an idiot not to see if they would work in my system. I pretty much know what I'll get with Nordost SPMs and I can easily live with them. However, if I ... |
