Stereophile's refusal to review more low
Thanks Rcprince: I did not make it to the newstand (I hit the Valley thrift stores instead and had a Tommy Burger) while waiting for my wife. Found a Sheffield CD "Steps" by Pat Coil for a buck. I guess that's where my priorities were today (good ... 
Cable recommendation for Jolida/Triangle
The 47 Labs sounds more realistic. It's hard to nail down exactly what it does, but I cannot enjoy the sound of the HG Super Silver's anymore in comparison to the OTA and before I really liked them. Everything for me is based on such comparison an... 
Cable recommendation for Jolida/Triangle
The 47 Labs OTA kit will make both speaker cable and IC's. Try a search under OTA and maybe 47 Labs and there is more info at this site. The entire kit is $600 and you should have plenty of cable and RCA's left over for future use (perhaps a secon... 
Stereophile's refusal to review more low
I was discussing this with my wife last night (who once published her own food magazine) and do the mags now carry advertisements for things other than audio/vidio? And, if not, why not? I mean do they have liquor ads and the like? I may stop by a... 
Why not PS Audio's Lab cables?
I meant the first scenario. There is more info on the PC's at Audioasylum.com in the cable forum. That is unless all of the posts over there are also by Acuujim.

Yohjixme: They will probably make you one too, if you ask them.

Rayhall: I understand where you are coming from and have to agree with your thoughts on the general decline of Western civilization in that only an individual (however when multiplied becomes a mass) can make a difference. It's kind of funny, in c... 
What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma?
Good to hear that it just needed a little tender care. I have to do the same thing to our bedroom system that has been laying around in pieces for the last month. 
Which IC is more important?
I had a really long and juicy post to make, but now I feel somewhat stifled and just can't move on with it. Oh well.

Rayhall: I have worked for quite a few companies (large ones) in my life and only one out of the many had what I would call integrity (I stayed with them for 11 years) and yes, I do think that it is too much to ask in the real world. In other word... 
Buying tubes 2nd Hand
Boy, that's a slew of 6922's. I just use one at a time for the input tube on my amp and one 5687 for the driver (the amp has a volume pot). Because of this I can buy singles and the only matched tubes that I have picked up in quantity are Amperex ... 
Buying tubes 2nd Hand
Justlisten: What are you using them in and do you use matched pairs/quads or singles? 
vibrapods or cones?
Kitch: I have the less expensive Mapleshade cones (Surefeet), but prefer the Neuance shelf (supported on upturned spikes) to the Pod/Maple/cone sandwich that I used to use on the CD player. The shelf is the same or less than the cost of a sandwich... 
Should 2nd. Buyer Receive Guarantee ?
It's their money, their company and their reputation and it's up to them (the manufacturer's). More important to me is, that if I have a warranty, how the service is, if needed. I seem to have read a lot of horror stories about products under warr...
