| Vantage Cables From U. K . Very impressive Hi Ozzy: I have two different models of Vantage PC's that I am running in right now for audition (should have some results in 4-5 weeks). Guess the "buzz" involves skipping across "the pond" if you are here in the US as myself. These are silver ca... | |
| Looking for warmth,openess, detail Johhny: You do not mention budget, but take a look at the OTA thread (do a search of "Sakura" and/or "OTA"). The kit will wire your entire system (speaker cables and IC's) for $600 and you should have enough cable left over for future configuratio... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? David: You failed to mention that it is the X-Files division hot on your trail (for drilling holes and placing sand in your tube preamp:-). | |
| I know Audiogon is the best for buying and selling I list here because I like the page design, it's easy to include a photo in the ad and also because I am familiar with the drill. I may try AA next, though, both out of curiosity and because they have gone to the trouble of recently including clas... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Crap: I rewired the TT again today and am getting a low level hum in "both" channels (it was very silent before). I will completely redo it in a couple of weeks if I cannot trace it to a bad joint (hope that I did not screw up the tone arm cables,... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? Charles: I am forced to use an "internet pseudonym" as I am rich, famous and extremely sexy (same as "Tim the Tire Guy":-). Nothing underhanded about it. | |
| Smoke coming from transformer means........anyone? Yes, a Variac is a needed for vintage gear that has been out of service for awhile and/or recapping a piece. I am in the market for good used one right now. As Clueless mentions the caps can hold high amperage charges for long periods of time and ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Slawney: Is there a website for MEC? I have not heard of them. I tried ferrite magnets a year or so ago with various cables (not the OTA) and found them to supress the HF's (less noise, but also less music). These were not high ticket magnets, but... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? Charles: Seems more bizarre than sleazy/scummy to me (unless of course he kept allowing his robe to slip open on purpose). The amps are popular and will sell in time. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Styx: "Furor" hardly describes this product's following, with but a handful of online users/owners sharing notes. What was it that you actually meant to say? Please spit it out in a pattern that I can understand. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Thanks "B" and Slawney for the updates. If I can swing another kit after "things" settle on the homefront I will consider hooking up satelite speakers in our bedroom (which would be much less expensive than using a separate system), thus the "long... | |
| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? Thanks for the link Mezmo, just ordered one. | |
| News about Bel Canto Dac2 Release Gee: I could go for one of those then (just need the $1300:-). I pretty much listen to LP's since selling the BC 1.1. My meager vinyl setup betters the CAL player that I use, but on the otherhand the 1.1 DAC smoked the TT. Also nice would be if BC... | |
| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? The local dealer did not return my call and I was unable to locate the CD @ Music Direct. Does anyone have a link/address for the online sale of this item? Thanks. | |
| The Best Version of Your Favorite Music? Though it is difficult to pick the best of any popular piece "The Classic French Collection" (on RCA Red Seal) and the "Critic's Choice" series on Quintessence have a lot of nice material. Some of the Quintessence offerings are borrowed from Reade... |
