| 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. | |
| Candles are lit, lights are down low Al Green. | |
| 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... | |
| Close your eyes and hear the music ? Jdwek: Yes, I forgot to mention that I do dose off quite a bit, but only if the music is good. | |
| Best Preamp for under $1750.00 Placette is the manufacturer that I was thinking of in my above post. I have no experience with them, but have been curious as to how one would pair with an SET amp (only to add switching capability). I have read that they add very little sonic ch... | |
| Close your eyes and hear the music ? Lights out, eyes closed, glasses off and I prefer to keep the old buttocks covered due to the leather sofa. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kitch: The soft plastic RCA's are much easier to take off with your teeth, if you are so inclined. But their main purpose is to guide the wire itself to make the signal contact instead of the RCA itself. Also, thank you for coming forward with the... | |
| Monoblocks did not work Nil: Are you related to Kublakhan? | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kitch: I am glad to hear that they are working well in your system. Would you say that they have an unusual sound (like "way" more musical than other cables that you have used in the past)? Yes, I am fishing as I will write about the OTA kit at th... | |
| Best Preamp for under $1750.00 What is the name of the popular passive preamp that sells for around $1500.00? | |
| Gallo Nucleus Reference I don't own a pair, but am jealous as they are truly visual works of art and must look super in your room. You might check what caps are used in your crossovers and try to reach Gary Gallo to see if he has any other recommendations based on your s... | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade Greg: Any tips on how to get rid of the static quickly (other than submerging the gear in water:-). The sound from the tubes drives me nuts, when I start up the amp for that day and a half or so and I always wonder if it is harming the tweeters. | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade Hi Gunbei: The D60 should certainly liven things up a bit (probably a good thing that you held on to it). All of my digital equipment also sounds a bit muted (less detail) when it comes up from a cold start and offers more detail in approx. 3 days... |
