| what happened to power cord review Bob: From my experience "most" people are satisfied with the Absolute PC and I know a handful of people (personaly) who have replaced more expensive cords with it (in the $150-$500 price range). This of course does not say much for the $500 PC. I ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Slawney: Yes, I need to figure out a good "stress" relief system as well (for making hard connections on IC's). They have a tendancy to break off @ the solder connections. I will check the local hardware store for something made out of Teflon. You... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Slawney: Mark (Palmnell) discovered that a slight "twist" was required when using the OTA as phono IC's (in order to reduce hum/interference). We discussed this outside of the forums and I recall that the twist/cross was every 1" to 1.5" (which is... | |
| Got a melody running around in your head? Brulee: There is no cure. Hope that you don't start resenting small children with "ring" curls as I have in the past (before I got a grip:-). Why coudn't it have been "Over the Rainbow" which I could easily listen to for a lifetime? | |
| Someone should kick me in the keester Sean: It is a loose adaptation of a concept shared with me by Richard @ Vantage Audio. Their design (which I do not feel comfortable sharing) is of course much more refined than this "wing it" cable, but I really cannot thank Richard enough for hi... | |
| Anyone compare outlets? Sean: The most desired stock P&S outlet is the 5242 (the least expensive model:-). It is also the hardest to find though. I have been using the 5252 which has more "silver colored" metal on the backside and which is considered not to be as goo... | |
| Someone should kick me in the keester Sean: The long portion is looped around the short one in seven half knots which are approx. 3" in diameter. No metal RCA's either (this is the one made out of the 47 Labs OTA kit which is 26 gage solid core copper enclosed in extremely thick Teflo... | |
| Anyone compare outlets? Elizabeth: I may have been one of those poster's. It took me quite some time to figure out what had gone "sour" in the the system (with the outlet being the very last thing that was checked). The sound gradually degraded over a period of 60-90 day... | |
| Someone should kick me in the keester Ezmerelda: A 75 ohm cable (true or otherwise:-) is not always needed for quality digital. My two best sounding digital IC's are neither. I am not quite certain as to how to measure the length of one of them as the Hot lead is 60" long and the Cold... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Thanks for the info Ivos. Never knew they existed until Sead mentioned them. I will have to think of something to use to try this out (I'm in the USA). | |
| Flamenco and Tango I am not very organized right now, but the last two CD's of this type that I picked up are:Enrique Morente "Lorca" on the Marada labelFlamenco Highlights from Spain (six artists) on the International Passport label.Both are a good listen.Another g... | |
| Got a melody running around in your head? "On the Good Ship Lollipop", complete with tap dancing effects. It has been with me for the past forty plus years and I can only pray that it does not exist on the "other side". | |
| How about those vibrapods under bookshelf speaker $36-$48 - Kelly. They aren't very tasty, but they sure are chewy. Stbhorn: Yes they work - if you want a fuller bass/mid bass sound. Don't know if this would be a good thing if the speakers are close to the wall though? For a few $$ you could also... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi Sead:Now that you brought it up, I may experiment with separate entrance and return holes/channels on the outer (neutral) portion of the RCA connectors. These will, of course be DIY "jobs", but the "loop", again haphazard in this application, (... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi Sead:The ones that break the most are the ones connected to hot tube gear and/or a SS amp which runs predominantly in class "A" (also quite "hot" @ the RCA's). I assume that it is the heat that weakens them (as these female RCA's are not on the... |
