| vibrapods or cones? Kitch: Before I switched to the Neuance shelf (for the tube amp), I used the Pods under a Maple cutting board with the amp resting on the board on its stock feet. This helped to clear up the sound, maybe because I use a 6922 type input tube and th... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low I think that we are expecting too much from a business for profit. I see the mags as being a source of cheap entertainment (if you enjoy reading about gear) and would not expect them to run as a nonprofit consumer mag (though I doubt that they are... | |
| Citation 12 / Advent 300 Match Classic: Can't believe that you found one. I have not seen one for sale for years. We "typed" about this amp quite some time ago (maybe at AA). It will run the original Advents well in a reasonably sized room (think you were talking about a baseme... | |
| 2nd system at Lake home...advice? NAD makes an all in one tuner/amp/CD player that would be less expensive than the Linn (not quite as good as the Linn from what I have read), I have not listened to it, but still very good for the money it seems. If you look into the Linn (the lat... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low My father worked for Meridith Publishing (Hearst) for 40 years and the subscription income does not even generally cover the printing expense of a magazine. It is the advertising dollars that make it profitable. I am not making any accusations aga... | |
| Buying tubes 2nd Hand I have purchased both NOS and used (test good) signal tubes from the following Ebay sellers. 1. K1dft and 2. Valves31. All tubes were of high quality (sound wise). If you are looking for tubes for a special application, I will suggest trying to co... | |
| Stupid DAC question Ehider: What digital cable do you use and is it one of the TOS link ones? I have only used the coaxial input on my DAC and do not have any experience with the optical input. Oh, and which model Aiwa do you have? I seem to recall the numbers 35 and... | |
| How many would be surprised? Hi Wirehead: I have auditioned the copper version of the "tape" IC's but not the silver one. The copper (30 gage) version lacked bass and was also a bit rolled off on top compared to what I am used to. I figure that if anything in a book (or on th... | |
| PC Challenge Test Results Maybe Bruce should do the pinching. He is, after all, Italian. | |
| SOLDER Help Albert: Must have been one of those "solder is solder" types. You can also bet that they do not work for NASA in an electrical facility. | |
| How many would be surprised? Mapleleaf: Yes they do require careful handling. One of our cats ("Eddie the Thug") has sheared the 47 Labs OTA cables (26 Gage) off of the left speaker two times so far. But most of these things are usually just installed and then only removed fo... | |
| Kublakhan. Re: Contact Space-Tech-Labs CB: You are welcome. He has some interesting stuff. | |
| brulee fails PC challenge Hi Bruce: Yes I should be up for it and we can do the new silver PC from Vantage Audio, the BMI Whale Elite and the Absolute PC's along with the FIM. I assume that JC has other's as well. | |
| cary 306, meridian 588 or linn ikema Can you audition them? I have listened to the Linn and the Cary and they are different birds. Both are very good, but different, with the Cary having a lighter but extremely articulate sound and it would depend on your system and personal taste as... | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? Whatjd: The biggest improvement in this area in my Redbook based system was gained by using the Neuance shelving (supported by upturned spikes) under the amp and player. If I had only one shelf it would then go under the player/transport. The diff... |
