| I am Not hurting anything right ?? I recall reading in another thread about the practice of using a jumber on the (-) side only in a bi-wire setup. Does anyone do this? I did not understand the explanation that was given before (and probably won't this time either if it comes up). | |
| Is 500 hours of break in really nec.? PS: In regard to the Coincident cables and 500 hours (that's a long time!). I would hope that they sound pretty good at 200 hours or so and that the rest of the time is just fine tuning. I have found many cables to sound "good" at 100 hours or so ... | |
| Is 500 hours of break in really nec.? If you have duplicates of any cable it is easy enough to test. I have already done it with Homegrown Super Silver IC's (had two pairs), Kimber Kable (had two double runs), BMI Whale PC's (have two) and Absolute PC's (have three and one of them has... | |
| Favourite / most impressive audio store Mine does not exist anymore (although it is still there I hear). It was the original Audio Labs in West Des Moines, IA and the owner was Harry (can't recall his last name). Maybe his son Elli (?, it's been 30 years) is running it now, I don't know... | |
| Going Topless What about using a sheet of kitchen aluminum foil for a top cover? I have been told that this blocks RFI and EMF (electro magnetic?) and at one time used it between an amps external power supply and my CD player which were cramped togther. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Other than room reflections, etc. if you like the sound of the L-100's why not try and find a single one for the center channel and then have all three refurbished at once? I don't do HT myself but have listened to some otherwise nice setups in wh... | |
| System sounds different, depending... Gunbei: We have two power companies that supply greater LA. I believe that we are on different systems as just two blocks South of us the other company takes over in LA proper (we are in West Hollywood). My system was having severe problems 3-4 mo... | |
| Best CD source? Go to the local thrift shops and flea markets and do some digging. I do not use vinyl anymore but have my choice of thousands of LPs' in the local LA thrift shops for 25 cents to $1 per album (CD's are $1 to $3 each). They often get in whole colle... | |
| Don't see much on Silverline Sonata so.. Just listen to them and decide. If you already have your amplification and source (CD) set, see if you can take them along for the audition. If you can setup a home demo, then all the better. | |
| Going Topless I somehow missed Sean's name at the bottom of his entry and thought that Kublakhan had posted it. No offense Kubla, but I was thinking "What in the hell is going on here?". Nice post Sean. | |
| power cord Par: As far as suggestions, you can always try the Mapleshade PC on a 30 day trial, I tried out two of the PC's at the same time, and like yourself was contemplating using all Mapleshade cabling (the PC's just did not work in my setups). This may ... | |
| System sounds different, depending... Gunbie: I highly recommend Tail & Mane shampoo. I recently ran out and my system immediately went into a slump. | |
| power cord The Mapleshade PC was not a good match with my SET based and SS based systems (thin and lacked bass). I do however use their Double Helix digital cable. Others have had good results with the PC if you check the AA cable forum. I now use the BMI Wh... | |
| Help with imaging PS: My center image was off even when I listened in the near field, so it was not a room problem. | |
| Help with imaging Hase you tried switching the left and right IC's back and forth? Other than the room the imbalance may come from the electronics or the cables (maybe just a poor or dirty connection if you are lucky). It looks like you have already rules out that ... |
