| 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... | |
| Kublakhan. Re: Contact Space-Tech-Labs CB: Here's the website http://space-tech-lab.com/ just drop an "s". | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Thanks Ken: I will take a look at the crossover connections and see what I can do without modding anything for a trial run. I might be able to split (on one side) a piece of the empty OTA insulation and make a preasure clamp of sorts out of it. I'... | |
| How many would be surprised? Brian: Although all of my speaker cables and IC's are of micro wire design, if I were to peel back some mammoth insulation and also find these tiny wires, YES, I would be surprised. | |
