| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Austin: Where did you obtain the thicker OTA cable? Also, any idea what gauge it is (the regular is approx. 26 gauge)? I had thought about trying it as hookup wire on my Bottlehead gear. | |
| Speaker Cable Feet: Suggestions? I use cotton ribbon to elevate cables. My setup is a bit unusual, but in normal installations it can be tied to the back of racks, speaker stands, et cetera, or thumb tacked to walls. If some of the ribbon is visible just tie a nice bow and it wil... | |
| Best Tube integrated under 2000 Need info on the rest of your setup (including the room size and your listening tastes) in order to get some decent suggestions.Lot's of good tube amps under $2K, but how well they will perform depends on the rest of the system and the size of the... | |
| Enacoms for bright speakers? Yes, but if they get rid of that HF "zing" will the C's still be "bouncy" enough? | |
| What is your most beautiful component? The room, when it's cleaned up. The rest of the system runs from average to homely, though the speaker cables and IC's are kind of cute. | |
| HELP I Need advice SME 3009 vs. 309 Braab8: Which 3009 do you have (there are different versions that vary in mass as much as 5 grams and they also use different bearings)?3009R3009II3009II ImprovedEven more versions, I think. | |
| Who is the best maracas player of all times? Tom Walsh who used to do the percussions for (dread) America. Especially if he has a six pack and a bag of potato chips in him. He's also a killer trap player. | |
| Busted Phillips Screws Screwing around again, eh Darryl? | |
| Fish'in for Speakers If you can place them 20"-24" from the front wall and 30" from the side walls I would look into the Silverline SR-17's (they would also require sturdy 28" stands). These are still my favorite stand mount monitor to date and they do sound best with... | |
| Amplifier class A/B bias question Abolder: There is no way to tell in your particular system other than by monitering the amp with test gear, or better yet by listening.The efficiency of your speakers, the input output specs on the equipment being used and the recording level of t... | |
| advice on integrated amp Check out the Magnum IA-170 integrated from the UK (it retails for $750, or so, w/o the phono stage option).It has a nice neutral sound that draws one's attention to the music instead of the amp itself and good bass/mid bass control (even on 4 ohm... | |
| Best Buy or Good Value in a Transport CD You could pick up a used CAL Icon MkII (the standard version) and use it as a transport. If eventually you go for a new one box unit, you will then have a good backup player and/or a source for a second system.When used as a transport only, I pref... | |
| What's the best dirt bag speaker you have heard? Paul: This has become my standard post to "best" speaker threads (but of course I don't own Harbeths:-). I saw the Quail/Benson (sp) debate on a huge projection screen @ a car dealership (just happened to be there @ the time) and have never been a... | |
| What's the best dirt bag speaker you have heard? Paul: Could be, pretty sure that his last name started with a "B" (still thought that he was a great speaker though). | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long TWL: Very interesting, though I cannot see an "easy" way to try this with my old SME (short of Super Glue:-) |
