| Best Vinyl stores in L.A. Kubla: Too bad about Arons, another one bites the dust. I run across a lot of good vinyl in the WLA/LA/Hollywood area thrift stores "Out of the Closet's" in particular, but alas, do not have a rig. I may start picking them up anyway, just in case ... | |
| power consumption Richard: No hair dryers since trimming off the old Mullet 20 years ago. It's the Musical Fidelity amp that sucks the most power (not the tube amp). The MF amp also plays, at volume, for a good 10-15 seconds or so after its power has been cut. The ... | |
| Will Internet Distroy High End ? Good question. Most of the items that I have been upgrading to have come direct from the manufacturer (custom shelves, speaker cable, IC's and PC's). These items are not carried by the local retailers and they are what I wanted. Speakers were purc... | |
| Best Vinyl stores in L.A. I purchased vinyl from Rhino (in the 70's-80's) and it was a great shop. I also purchased from Arron's (sp), now on Highland in Hollywood (used to be on Melrose). Does anyone still shop there? They used to have a good used and import section. I tr... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit PS: I forgot to mention (in my rambling) that I will also be trying out half a set of the analog IC's as a digital cable (maybe in a month or two) as the Maplshade digital cable that I currently use is neither of a 75ohm or coaxial design and I fi... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I have been using the OTA cable kit in the system listed in Virtual Systems under "SET Hide Away System" for one month now (both as Analog IC's and as speaker cable), the playing time exceeds 500 hours. Two things that changed, off and on, in the ... | |
| power consumption Richard: We were eligible for a 20% (I think) discount for X amount of months usage, but went over the base line usage (the power company's estimate) and did not qualify. So, there is an incentive, in the system, to lower one's consumption. We wen... | |
| Tube amp newbie- where can I learn?? Sutts: Four tube amps? Come on, what did you pickup? | |
| BMI Whale Elite - Construction? Yes, they make solid contact and are easy to manipulate, considering their size (they twist so that aligning the plugs is a simple task). | |

| power consumption Hi Richard: 12 to 13 cents per kWh for Edison Co. in LA. Our average monthly consumption is around 300 kWh's and I assume that we are quite frugal as the main consumption is from the Hifi's, the computer and the fridge (no A/C, we have gas applian... | |
| New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord Pipili@fun.com: I contacted Brian @ BMI and purchased mine directly. Just type in BMI on the first "search" page of Audiogon and it will take you to the advertisement. | |

| BMI Whale Elite - Construction? Dmrothfu: Give Brian @ BMI a call or an email. He is a nice guy and a pleasure to talk to. The only thing that I can make out on my units are that the male plugs are Leviton NEMA 5-15's (the female plugs are covered with shrink wrap and are not br... | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade Gunbei: Excellent. Sounds like it was just a not so good connection or maybe static. I think that I remember the gun(s) that Greg mentions (seems to me that they had a piece of quartz in them or something like that). I will ask a few oldsters I kn... |
