| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor Glen: I have never tried a balanced version as I do not have a need for one.

| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor 47 Labs OTA cable. I have been using it over a year now for speaker cable and IC's. Try a searching the word(s) "Sakura" and/or OTA for more info. | |
| labratory tube amplifiers / wolcot amps I recall these amps being listed on Ebay some time back, but that is all that I know about them (the jist of the listing was like your story). Probably more deadly than the amps are the mail/parcel carriers and if you ship them take special care w... | |
| Single Driver Speakers??? Lowther, Moth Audio??

| Is a dac better than an new cd palyer? Swampwalker: Never tried the Classe, but did end up with the Bel Canto 1.0 (and later the 1.1) DAC for over a year, which I enjoyed. I just found some of the popular DAC's to be too bright, thus not better, IMO. | |

| Quality bulk speaker cable? Jeff: Pick up some packages of Radio Shack magnet wire ($3.99 each). Three spools come in a pack which are 22, 26 and 30 gage. I would try the 26 and/or 22 gage to see how your speakers react to being bi-wired (you could also try using the magnet ... | |
| Is a dac better than an new cd palyer? SACD players can accept an external DAC for standard CD playback (all that I am aware of anyway), so the DAC will not become obsolete in this sense. Just be certain that this holds true of the model you select. If your changer has a coaxial/digita... | |
| What's the best amp s for Lowther drivers? Go here:http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/HUG/bbs.htmlAlso check out the SET Asylum.What you are also looking for is a very "quiet" amp (due to the stated efficiency of your speakers) and 3 watts per channel should be plenty of power. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Slawney: Just had a thought. Think that I will try a tiny "screw" barrier strip to trouble shoot the TT wiring. Might just leave it in (if I figure out the problem) as it will make it easier to try out different DIY IC configurations. | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Guess I would go with "Multi-Folk" as well, like Kelly. Afterall this is the basis for most music anyway. |
