| Running a fan to cool amplifier any ill effects? My amp has 12 6550's in it and while the tube cage doesn't get hot to the touch, I cool it down with an external fan. In between playings of an hour or so, I will just cool the amp down for a minute or so and than continue to listen to more music.... | |
| Am I hearing the effects of "clean sound"? Maybe you were just having a great day and felt relazxed, but it could very well be the time of day. I noticed that when I play my rig after 9pm, it seems to sound better to me. You should try it again on another night and see if you get the same ... | |
| what do you know" It seems to me that this thread has gotten a little crazy and I apologize for my remarks. I just think that we don't have any tests that can determine what a person should or will hear whether it's a cable or equipment. I oftentimes read John Atki... | |

| what do you know" I have replaced my very expensive speaker cables with Anti Cables, which I find to be remarkable. I wish I would have known about them before spending all that money. As for those who are implying that differences in cable sound quality is not rea... | |
| tube info needed Never heard of STA and Billington is a tube seller in the UK, so the tubes are probably made for them, but not by them. If you are going to begin tube replacement or rolling, you have more choices with the 6SN7 tubes. You can move toward the vener... | |
| Power Wedge 1 vs Furman Elite 15 PF I have the Furman Elite 15PF and I would recommend it highly to anyone. It has a great deal of flexibility with all of the outlets and has saved my equipment during a severe electrical storm. It also has reserves power for the times when your powe... | |
| Is It Worth $28 Million? First I would have to prepare for their arrival by making space in my 12 x 14 listening room, then before I send my Paypal transfer, I would make sure that there were no scratches on any of the albums, otherwise, the deal is off. I just hope that ... | |
| New LP Returns It's crazy that this is happening not only to you as a consumer, but to your dealer. Furthermore, if you are getting bad pressings, so are his other customers and he will be unable to survive if his customers decide that they have had enough. You ... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question In my experience, the high frequencies took the longest to settle in during cable burn in and 100 hours is actually not a very long break in period. I have a Speltz Anticable from my tuner to my preamp and Jim Speltz recommends a break in time of ... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question In my opinion, as long as your ears aren't bleeding, I would just let them burn in naturally over time instead of knocking yourself out. If you are determined to burn them in, you should list the cable maker in your post, since burn in time will v... | |
| Mapleshade cables?? v Anti Cables Stingreen, I think that the Golden Cross is an excellent sounding speaker cable, at least in my setup. I just wanted to try the Anticables because it was an inexpensive experiment and I found that I like them more. I also continue to use Cardas Go... | |
| Mapleshade cables?? v Anti Cables I was just going to post this question and can't wait to hear some responses. I have used Nordost, Kimber, Audioquest, and Cardas cables and have recently switched from Cardas Golden Cross to Jim Speltz Anticables. I really like the Anticables and... | |

| subwoofer cable recommendations. I have used Audioquest Sub-X with great success. It is fairly inexpensive and it made my subwoofer sound right, not lean or boomy. I addition, it silenced an awful hum that was being produced in my subwoofer from the analogue cable connection it r... |
