| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. Gunbei: Do a search under Neuance and you will find my recent review of the shelving. You might want to consider one for the new Theta, for a start (if it can be placed on the top shelf of your rack). Does the top shelf rest on upturned spikes as ... | |
| New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord I'll bet you a big hit at the Friar's Club as well. | |
| Mixing new and NOS tubes OK? This is becoming a practice in AI preamps, though they only use 4 6922's (two in the phono and two on the line). I set a friend up (who has a Mod3a) with old production Russian 6922's (from ATSI which are better than the recent Sovteks) and pair o... | |
| New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord Well, it's finally time for my user review of the BMI Whale Elite PC's. I don't know if I will be able to add any more insight into the product not already covered in Greg's very nice review (posted above) but, here goes. I received two of the PC'... | |
| power consumption Mrowlands: Good point. I use a Musical Fidelity X-A1 integrated amp in a guest bedroom system (also where we keep the computer) and it idles in Class A, though it switches to Class A/B at 3-5 watts output. I now turn this amp off (when not in use)... | |
| Speaker Cable for Tube SET System? I ended up going with a 47 Labs OTA cable kit (speaker cable and IC's) and will post a review in the OTA thread later this week. | |
| 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... |
