| Corroded tube pins - need help What is Scotch-Brite (the 100% Irish need not reply)? | |
| How do you know when to use ANALOG vs DIGITAL? Why is "analog" spelled funny sometimes? Are these different cables than regular old analog/digital cables? Are the ones with the added "ue" better, or just "funny"?There are a couple other "funny" spelled words used round here, but I can't think ... | |
| JBL 4410a a classic or a dust collector? How old are they? A bit confused as I've seen new, they looked new anyway, 4410's (not certain about the "a") within the past year and a half. They were @ a local DJ shop (3 drivers - fairly large woofer - maybe 24" high in utility cab's).If vinta... | |
| Mapleshade Cables I once returned two of their power cords. No problems, no hassles.I do find their advertising copy interesting (to say the least), but all of their people I've dealt with (Pierre, Eldon and another young man answering the phone/can't recall his na... | |
| Corroded tube pins - need help I use metal polish (Flitz) followed up with electrician's alcohol (on non-gold plated pins).Burnishing cloth (the purple/cloth sand paper) works as well.I never use contact enhancer (Pro Gold, etc.) on tube pins, just 99.95%+ alcohol or a non-resi... | |
| Do most manu. buy or build their x-overs? Don't see that it would make much of a difference as I assume that most crossovers are spec'd by the designer(s) of the speakers. Who actually makes them (as long as a high level of QC is maintained) would be a mute point.I have heard of one or tw... | |
| Looking for comments on Decware preamps Try running a search of the Tube Forum @ audioasylum.com. They also have a "full site" search feature (click on the word "search" located in the uppper left portion of a forum page, not the search "box").I've seen pro reviews of Decware's integrat... | |
| Your budget - $20K - best system for a small room Joel:Don't know if it works with analog sources, but research Z-Systems digital preamps (specifically the one, or ones which function as an equalizer within the digital domain).A'Gon member danvetc uses one in his office system (small room) and fr... | |
| Your budget - $20K - best system for a small room I'd spend the $20K on renting/purchasing a decent listening room.Are you serious? | |
| Best $1k pair of floor standing speakers? A few decent speakers I've used "well" in such a small room have been:Ls3/5a's (mine were a late 70's Rogers version with add on bass units/stands). I later used custom bass units, but the standard versions were still pretty good. Reynaud Twins Mk... | |
| Best $1k pair of floor standing speakers? What happened to the Cornwall's? They would be a nice choice for inexpensive, but super sounding, amplification.Would be best to list the rest of the system in order to receive knowledgeable input (this includes my post as well as any which procee... | |

| Shipping to APO address Swamp:Ship to my sister-in-law quite often (she's in NE Italy) via USPS. Seems that we are charged domestic rates and/or some type of discount is applied.Don't send chocolate Easter Bunnies @ Easter (they arrive as Easter Blobs) and since the anth... | |
| Sweetest sounding 12AU7? Hi David:I've never tried the later Sylvania's (Green). I have used Green 6922/6dj8's which were pretty good though (they were specialy screened/selected).You might ask Rogue about using 5814, 6189 and possibly 5963 tubes. The 5963 tolerates less ... | |
