| Clockwise or counter looking at the panel? i quite clearly was unaware that mit's locking "jackets" are reverse threaded. please ignore my ryme and follow the advice of all those above with more knowledge of your cable terminations than i. sorry to have misled you. (the part about wrapping... | |
| Clockwise or counter looking at the panel? righty tighty, lefty loosey. if you're gonna' use a tool, make sure the business end is wrapped in rubber or leather to protect the fittings. -cfb | |
| how to upgrade this digital front end ? fatparrot: yes i've a/b'd the accuphase dp-75 and 75v several times. the 75v is a very big step up in sonic quality. better bottom end and midrange, much closer to top-of-the-heap analogue. -cfb | |
| Tweaks break-in period ? marc: i meant no disrespect and thank you for your ackowledgment of my mere attempt at humor. i do, in fact, applaud your enthusiasm in finding yet another pathway to better sound. -cfb | |
| how to upgrade this digital front end ? fatparrot: it's the accuphase 85v that plays sacd's. the 75v uses upsampling, unlike the earlier dp-75. the 75v can be upgraded to serve as an sacd dac, but its transport will not output an sacd signal. -cfb. | |
| Best Cables for Eidolon/Boulder system avnut: i've only heard the zero ic's (with eidolons and a pair of accuphase a 50v's). the speaker cable "zeros" appear to be somewhat "over-the-top," purportedly measuring 8" in circumference. can't imagine how one would hook up a bi-wire pair! -cfb | |
| Tweaks break-in period ? marcandr: no, i think there are more than 4 nuts like you and yours, tho some are rumored to be imprisoned on uranus. i suggest you all get together again, plug a digital clock into the same outlet occupied by your toaster and see if you can disce... | |
| how to upgrade this digital front end ? accuphase 75v, used or discounted, plus a few dozen redbook cd's. one box, no patchwork clock correction. run it direct to your amp if you wish. vast improvement, fur sure. -cfb | |
| "Pictures From Exhibition" best recording? hey, has everyone forgotten about emmerson, lake and palmer? -cfb | |
| Mountain vanishing point--now i remember the tune. -cfb | |
| Best Cables for Eidolon/Boulder system here's another vote for tara, the one and the zero with eidolons and boulder (or "equivalent" gear from accuphase or jrdg). -cfb | |
| How BIG is yours? my cd collection has been growing by 50-75/ month, mostly promos provided by my older son who's a consultant to various radio stations and record labels. lot's of discs stacked up, many still unplayed. i estimate my cd's number somewhere around 2,... | |
| Which subs are best for home theater? albert: good questions. and i will add my own: are you, marakanetz, as i assume, also retromingent? -cfb | |
| To all the IRS Beta owners.... whoa, is "over here" not texas? if not, just where is your "here"? just remember: no matter where you go, there you are. -cfb | |
| DIY Cat 5 speaker cables.... sean: "splashy"? i like your word a lot but don't really know what it means. is it something like "unfocused" or "close to sibilant" or something else entirely? -kelly |
