| Best and Worst Product Names The cable manufacturer that uses (or used) such names as "Midnight", "Hunter" and on and on. The names were so confusing to me (expecially researching discontinued cables) that I went with Kimber Kable instead. | |
| Scientist finds fungus that eats cd's Sean: If this is the same story that I heard it did not have a very happy ending (the fungus ate his cheap cooking utensils and lawn furniture as well:-). | |
| Power Cord Review Lcat: This sounds like quite an undertaking, but will be a great article of interest, I am certian, to our small masses. I don't envy you though as it usually takes me months to evaluate but a single product and I wish you luck on the project. Hop... | |
| Power Cord Review Ps: I also use the Absolute cords and have either owned and/or used the HT Pro 11 and the Sidewinder (on your list). | |
| Power Cord Review Since the BMI Whale Elite is still offered at introductory prices (in your range), I would say that it is a "must" audition as I use two of them in my system. Another interesting manufacturer with little write up, though positive reviews from owne... | |
| I normally don't ask for help, but..... It's a done deal Albert, we will include your friend's wife in our list. | |
| Who pays for busted stuff? My wife sold my old KLH Model Twenty-One Radio on Ebay for a whopping sum of $265. The unit was in perfect shape except for a slight fading on the top of the cabinet. It was shipped exceedingly well packed with 6" of foam surrounding the unit whic... | |
| CD recorder advice sought Yes, thanks for the tip Sam. I have friend, low on funds, who would like the W839 to replace his computer burner and this price is better than what I see used models selling for. | |
| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. Gunbei: Very good advice, and I second it. I did not find the 1.0 version lacking in dynamics once I replaced the stock power cord (first with a Harmonic Tech Pro 11 and then later with a BMI Whale Elite) and also after I stopped resting it (on it... | |
| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. Thanks Sam, and yes the unit is not to be considered bright at all. I think that they have done a nice job of adding detail and dynamics while still holding on the the natural and realistic sound of the first version. I stayed up until 2:00AM unab... | |
| CD recorder advice sought Drubin: I have the Pioneer PDR-839 which is avaailable NIB for around $325 from a DJ equipment website (they also sell on Ebay). I updated the power cord (Absolute) by adding a Harmonic Tech IEC adapter (purchased from Scott "Disco") and the playb... | |
| Isolation Platform for CD Transport?? I feel that there are two types of vibration to be dealt with. The first is internal and is what is produced by the component that is being isolated. This is what you want to drain off quickly and "evenly" without creating dips or peaks in the fre... | |
| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. Hello everyone, sorry this took so long. I had a problem with the first 1.1 unit that I received (which turned out to be a cold solder joint). The upgrade took one week and the repair of the cold solder joint a little less than a week (back and fo... | |
| Newbie seeks feedback on research In regard to tape Vs CDR (stand alone Vs computer burner: I went with a stand alone CDR (burner) as it allows me to easily isolate it from vibration and to get better recordings. Another factor is that we seem to change computers every 2-3 years. ... | |
| Isolation Platform for CD Transport?? I will second the Neuance shelving, which I support with upturned spikes (built into my rack). Very even handed without the annoying dips and peaks that I always seemed to get with my previous isolation methods. The music also has a better pace to... |
