| Against everything that high end cables stand for Justlisten: Please try to post a follow up on these cables (the sound) after they get 100 hours of playing time on them. At the price they may be silver plated copper as they are too inexpensive to be 120' of 20 gage silver wire. What really matte... | |
| Best way to organize 6000 albums? When I was single I used to have dancing girls that took care of this drudgery for me. However my current plan of attack is to line a coat closet with shelves, install adequate lighting and then file the LP's alphabetically by the type of music. S... | |
| What are good tubes for Audion Sterling? I would be cautious of using a higher rated fuse (think that neither of the fuses in my previous Audion Silver Night exceeded 2.0 amps). Wonder why you are blowing fuses with the new cord? If you turned the amp off and then powered it up quickly (... | |
| Cary SLI-80 Signature: 6922-6SN7-5U4 tube shootout Ghirteen: What are the stock tubes? | |
| What Budget turntable should I buy? For the phono preamp, save some money and pick up the battery powered model that Radio Shack was selling for $25. Rechargable batteries and a charger should run another $25. Much better sounding than any of the budget preamps you are considering, ... | |
| Describe your listening chair What else could you afford if you are involved in this hobby? Plus, we all know that matchhead fumes are bad for the electronics. | |
| Describe your listening chair Ms: What a cheerful reply (perhaps you are standing up too much and need to take a load off - you can light a Bic while seated:-)? Listening chairs change perhaps as much as the Hi-fi gear itself. I will respond again when I can provide a link to ... | |
| What are good tubes for Audion Sterling? If you are looking for a fuller sound skip the 7119 (5687 replacement) suggestion @ AA as this will crisp things up a bit. Mullard, Amperex White label or Philips Miniwatt 6922's are the ticket for full mids (Amperex Bugle Boy and Orange Globe 6dj... | |
| Your "Budget Cable" recommendations, please...... Dan: Whatever you try, I would focus the search on cables with a reputation for deep bass response (as well as sounding nice throughout the rest of the spectrum of course:-). Even if they have full but "somewhat" loose bass they may still work fin... | |
| Help pick opening song for my film OK Here goes:1. "Smokin in the Boys Room", no particular reason.2. "Patches", if the girl drowns and is found floating.3. "Cherry Pink & Apple Blossum White", stupid love song.4. "In the Navy", if the guy turns out to be Gay.5. "Anything by Ho... | |
| I need your expert advise Tacs: I am pretty certain that Natalie is referring to upgrading the CD player. Sorry, but suggesting that one limit their musical library by the quality of the recordings seems a bit ludicrous to me.Boski: I would upgrade the player first (to som... | |
| component order on a rack? I place the CD player directly below the TT (which is on the top shelf). The reason being that it is easier then to place software in/on either and this reduces the risk of damaging precious CD/LP's. The preamp controls require less finesse and th... | |
| 78's through the system Probably not much help, but I decided against adding 78 playback to the main system as it would be too expensive as well as a hassle. Instead I decided to pick up either a vintage or new "all in one player" with a small footprint so that it can be... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Were these the old threads which contained posts by "The Doctor"? If so, they were an "obvious" hoot and did much more damage than good to the product's image. Hopefully those involved in that one have learned their lesson. Also agreed that Bruce'... | |
| Non Audiophiles are funny people I find NA's to be dumfounded by the amount (abundance) of software, which is something that they can relate to. Most people only have enough LP's/CD's/tapes to fit a particular rack and/or bookshelf and do not go much beyond this restriction. They... |
