| Directionality I am not a very technical person, but it seems that the signal would be going in a "circle" to complete the circuit, one way through the (+) lead and the other way through the (-) lead. If this is correct then the cable is "directional", perhaps d... | |
| Source for new not NOS or new tube substitutions Some of these tubes are available @ http://www.audioelectronicsupply.com/If you perform a web search of the specific tube #'s you may find the rest. I usually prefer NOS signal tubes, but some very nice power tubes are being currently manufactured... | |

| Which cable will reduce harshness of CD player? The price quoted @ the website for this cord is close to $100US (not $30US). | |
| 6H23 tube Ya or Na ? Mike I replaced the tubes (Sovteks) in a friends Mod 3A with 6h23U-Eb's (the "U" is upside down) from ATSI tube and they have been running strong for the past six months. I also gave him a matched pair of Siemen's PCC88's (7dj8's), but cannot reme... | |
| Oh, crap. Brian: Good luck with the new deck (and your 10 comp LP's:-). Glad to hear/read that it all worked out and I commend you on your patience and civility. Second commends to the dealer who, though it took much longer than expected, came through on th... | |
| best ics for cd55 Wait for the amp. Your current cables may be fine in the new application. | |
| Integrated for Dad I auditioned my current speakers with a Magnum IA170 integrated amp that retails for $750 (add $100 for a phono stage when ordering). The phono is in the same ball park as the add on units by NAD and Creek (the non SE model). The amp was on the ne... | |
| DAC recommendations Swampwalker: I auditioned the stock Muse Model 2 and the upgraded version with some type of added filter and HDCD. The upgraded version had by far the best sound, however it was also laid back in character and would probably be better suited to fo... | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? Hmm: I like the 302A and 302B amps. They just require better tubes and a decent power cord to perform best. The power cord replacement could be a stock Belden 14 gage (nothing expensive or fancy). What I would do though is try to purchase a new on... | |
| Power cable upgrades, or Power conditioner? Tim: What is your current setup? There may be a much less expensive fix for what you are experiencing whether it be isolation products, cables or whatever. Some power cords, in effect, are power conditioners themselves especially in my situation w... | |
| Tweak worth 100X It's price - Vibrapods Ernie: I tap the Neuance shelf in the center (the component is not on it @ the time) and can tell by the tone whether the shelf is stable or not. The noise becomes very tight and short in duration when things are right. If I do not do this the ove... | |
| Tweak worth 100X It's price - Vibrapods Hi Bob: I have an inexpensive (discontinued) rack that has adjustable upturned brass spikes for all of the shelves (I could not see investing in the Neaunce shelving if it was not properly supported). It was designed as a bolt together rack, but I... | |
| Tweak worth 100X It's price - Vibrapods Drubin: I read about the residue problem on earlier runs of the Pods, but had thought that it was remedied. I do not experience it with the ones that I purchased a year or so ago and it should have been clearly visible on natural Maple platforms. ... | |
| Free Virus catcher software available Thanks Richard: I just downloaded the program. We have yet to pick up a virus (though some have been recieved), but have also been limited by not opening up any attachments (even photos from family in Italy) which has been a drag.Best regards,David |
