| speaker cable; what to do? George: Why not try 30' runs of the MIT T2 cable from Audio Advisor (I will never deal with them again after three transactions, but many have had good dealings with them). They should run about half your budget and are returnable within 30 days i... | |
| speaker cable; what to do? Hi George: Any way possible to shorten the speaker cable runs (considerably) without increasing the IC length (@ all and/or very little)? This configuration will give you better sound and will also make it much less painful to invest in better spe... | |
| Isolation Sand Boxes Er uhm, I'm not certain. Do you think that it may have something to do with the "tiny" little shovel and pail? | |
| OK - now total confusion has set in Doc: Some of this vibration is generated by the components themselves (even those which do not seem to have any moving parts). Another major source of vibration is the music itself. Allowing the gear (cables included) to sing along with the music ... | |
| Any funny audiofile stories??? Ernie: To hide their "things"? | |
| Any funny audiofile stories??? Kind of funny now that I look back: I was sitting down soldering, in the nude, a few months ago and... (well, you can fill in the rest). My wife thought that I was having either some type of seizure and/or heart attack when I jumped up from the ta... | |
| tubes for audible illusions mod 3 Monk: I retubed a friend's 3A with the 7dj8/PCC88's (Siemens), but substituted old production Soviet 6922's from ATSI in the phono section. Maybe it was your post that I read over @ AA on this? Anyway, big improvement to the line stage, plus the p... | |
| New gears? Plato: No, it is not proper useage in the US, but it "kits" Vs "kit" perhaps proper? | |
| Does Your Computer Sound Like a Jet Engine????? Yes, and my solution was to have a dedicated room built for it. | |
| Tweaks Kelly: I usually strew the floor with freshly baked brioche. Your method seems to be much more practical, but does it sound as good?. I rate the brioche as a firm "7" (within its 24 hour life cycle). Afterwards the sound tends to get a bit stale t... | |

| Most eye-opening upgrade and what you learned Ken: It wouldn't be losing weight and taking regular doses of Viagra would it? Seems that I read about your light and rigid approach somewhere. | |
| Where do you sit? Vdub: You really only notice the "bean" noise when you are stoned out of your mind. For those who have not "kept on trucking" (granted that they do not abuse Nutmeg) I can't imagine this being a problem. I could never get into the "bean bags", but... | |
| Need help for wife acceptance If you can swing an under the floor installation, go for it. Did/does Subaguru have this setup as well? I'm with your wife on this one (the less of this "crap" I have to look @ when listening to music, the better:). I have everything tucked away, ... | |
| How to pick your first SET tube amp? Sc53: Since you are going this route, you might want to look into the Audion Sterling. It lists for $1100-$1200, but the US distributor (OSS Services) may have a demo or two @ a reduced price (I know that he was just @ the Las Vegas show anyway). ... |
