| Upgrade Time Again.... please help Albert, You always have positive constructive feedback - thank you. I hope I didn't come off as being anti-tube. The Golden Tube stuff was great gear considering its price point and they have served me well over the years. But my point of view of ... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help Thanks Jrt, Yes the list is quite diverse. It was compiled over the course of about a year. When I see an Amp that interests me it gets added to "The List." It is great to get the feedback from this forum and thanks for suggesting the BAT Amps - I... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help Hi Snook, Yes I have looked at the Aloia. The technology looks interesting. Don't know if there are any dealers in the Bay Area, but I could not find a lot details about the inductive power supply technology. Being an EE I would like to a little r... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help Thanks Albert. I was hoping to hear from you. I know that you own the Wolcott amps with the Soundlabs but wasn't sure if you had settled on them yet. I have also talked to Henry at length about the Wolcott. He is very nice man and he has sent me a... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help Sagger, Don't feel you have to stay within the list. If I have missed something, then please say so. Philefreak, the 802's low end impedance is similar but not identical to the 801's. I TEF'd them myself, but the chart is at home. I can give the a... | |
| Flat Plasma: Worth the W.A.F. Premium? Plasma screen technology is still developing. If you do go for plasma ask the dealer about "acceptable" defects. I have heard horror stories about people buying the screens and then a pixel or group of pixels turn colors and stay that way - very a... | |
| Sparking Ground Wire The only way there could be a spark is A) Static Electricity, B) A potential difference between the pipes (maybe earth ground - maybe not) and House ground. So measure the difference. Disconnect the water pipe and measure the voltage drop between ... | |
| Footers/Shelf Material Redkiwi, I have been following this thread for a while now and this is a most excellent discussion. So if I understand you correctly you have your front end on EAR feet sitting on top of a Neuance shelf and the monoblocks on butcher block with out... | |
| Echo Buster or ASC for room treatment? An excellent book on the subject is The Master Handbook of Acoustics bu F. Alton Everest. He also has another book called Sound Studio Construction on a Budget, which I have not read but people here also say is good. Cheers, Dan. | |
| diy power cord: Shinyata black mamba Sorry for jumping so late here, but I thought I read on another thread on Audiogon that the PowerSnakes are made with Stranded Silver Tinned Teflon 10 AWG wire. I have used this type of wire in my DIY power cord with great success. | |
| Meridian 24-bit Upgrade: Perpetual? Find a Meridian dealer with a 506-24 and explain that you are thinking about upgrading your 506-18. He should let you borrow the 506-24 to make the comparison. Never heard the Perpetual P3, but their web page says they have a thirty-day money back... | |
| Best way to spike Nautilus 802's Mike, Thanks for the input. I called another B&W Dealer here and they knew what they were doing because they took my serial numbers and told me I would have them before the new year. Now that's service and I didn't even buy the speakers there.... | |
| Best way to spike Nautilus 802's Sugarbrie, Thanks for the tip - I sent email to marketing@bwaudio.com a couple of days ago, but have not heard anything back. That's why I posted here. Do you have a different email address? | |
| Best way to spike Nautilus 802's Thanks Mike, I was under the impression that B&W made spiking kits for their speakers too, but when I called the local dealer he told me they didn't. Don't know if it's true or not. Are you absolutely sure they make such a kit for the 802N? | |
