| analog newbie I just purchase sealed albums, listen to them 5 times (they sound best the 4th or 5th play) and then throw them away. I'm not wasting my money on fancy cleaning gizmos. | |
| Best Matched Monitor Speakers For 300B S.E.T amps Audioslife: I have used a pair of Reynaud Twins with an Audion Silver Night 300B amp in a room twice your size, for the past year, without any problems other than not being able to blast the stereo. I did once set this system up in a 12' x 14' roo... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Raguirre: You are doing better than I did in the beginning (I wasted over 35 feet of the OTA) and to date have broken 5 of the white center posts. As far as the center post goes, you can try adding another loop or two around the white post. This w... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I just discovered that the "Teflon" tape that I tried on the XLO wire is not Teflon (per the local hardware store). I went there to get another roll and discovered this. The Teflon tape that I just purchased has no adhesive (which is better for ou... | |
| Will people buy Snake Oil? So that's what you did with all of that okra. | |
| A good 2ch preamp? Paul, a friend uses the Creek with one of the Aleph/Volks amps with good results. I almost auditioned it in my system, but he had forgotten the remote @ home (Palm Springs) and the unit had been left on mute. LOL. Kitch said that the Foreplay prea... | |
| A good 2ch preamp? Paul: Is the preamp that you are thinking of the FT Audio unit which retails for $500? This is the one that had interested me. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Gray: You are welcome. Perhaps you can take take the magnet wire further than I have @ this point as I never got around to trying a reverse wrap (tacky side out) of Teflon plumbers tape on it. You could also follow up with a second wrap with the t... | |

| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Gray: I don't know if this is true, but once read that the OTA is a type of cable which is used for telecommunications in Japan, which has received some type of additional treatment. The only thing that I know is that I have been unable to locate ... | |
| Best thread poster for 2001? I really enjoy 99% of the posters @ this site (what a bunch of nutty butties:-), but my hat goes off (it's and "Iowa" cap actually) to Richard of Vantage Audio and Ken of Greater Ranges/Neuance for their invaluable advice that has always been spot... | |
| Tubes - Sonic Signatures of brands; Opinions? Morbius: Go to Audioasylum.com and look for "Joe's tube lore" (it may be under FAQ's). Joe describes the basics (per tube) that are in the ballpark of what I have experienced over the years, though this is always dependent on the circuit that the ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Gray: The only way to be "convinced" is to actually try and/or listen to this product (the design of which goes against the grain of what most people assume is needed for quality sound). Because of these assumptions many feel that it is not worth ... | |
| tubes or SS? If you are less serious about the HT than the two channel you could use Gallo Micros for the additional HT speakers, or all of them for that matter. They are round balls (the size of an orange) which come in various colors and which can be wall mo... | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... Though they do not require anywhere near as much power as the Bryston provides you may want to consider the Reynaud Twins with a "good" set of 28" stands. They will provide planer like mids along with greater dynamics than the Maggies. Don't let t... |
