| Best and Worst Product Names Stupid me. I always though a "Buffy" was I guy that worked out and looked at himself in the mirror too much. | |
| Lead shots for speaker stand. BB's (for the guns) used to be made out of copper (35-40 years ago, anyway). | |
| Good Stuff Cheap Nice post Prs123. I have owned the Hafler and the Philips and lived off and on with the Allisons for almost a year. Have to agree with you on these three, even down to the cartridge on the 212. | |
| Lead shots for speaker stand. It depends on what the application is and your personal taste. I prefer silica sand (only) to shot/sand or shot in a pair of Target HR70 speaker stands on a plaster floor. All shot was "bad", sand and shot "better" and all sand the most natural so... | |
| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. It kills Charlie. Thanks again. | |
| 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). |
