THE VOTING SYSTEM ON THIS SITE IS SCREWED UP. FOR SOME REASON I CAN SEE THE VOTING TOTAL ON ONE OF DJJD'S POSTS AND NOT ONLY HAVE I NEVER VOTED ON THIS POST, I AM NOT EVEN LOGGED INTO THE SITE (I JUST CHECKED AT THE SIGN IN PAGE). THIS IS NOT THE ... 
My Poop theory by kublakhan
I am with Paul and Craig and have zero burnout. My second system however is a Lo-Fi one on which I also play cassettes. New intersting music is what it is all about. I have picked up six killer CD's in the last two days, one is the Boz Scaggs "Com... 
Power Cord Challenge
Hi Kevin: Thanks for the offer and I will definately take you up on it if either of these sessions come together. If you have a personal cord that is already broken in that would be great, and I will burn it an additional 100+ hours after it arriv... 
Favorite solo piano players...cds
Dudley Moore "Songs Without Words" is a wonderful piano CD. 
Why No Testing of Isolation Products?
Yes, and even the weight and drag of specific PC's and IC's connected to the components will create a variable. 
How can power cords make a difference?
4 gage PC's? Drool. 
wood tonic hurts ?
I have used "Howard Feed-N-Wax" with very good results. I first used it on a Monterey dining table from the 40-50's's that was is very poor condition and it worked so well that I use it on everything now, including speaker cabinets. Even on "light... 
Need silver power cord help
Hi Trelja: I just pulled out my bag (knapsack) of extra PC's (got busted by the wife as I was in the middle of examining them:-) and found that both the IEC and the AC plug on the Stealth PC are modular in that they open completely up and expose t... 
How can power cords make a difference?
Yes RedKiwi: It is a shame that none of the power supplies have been properly designed in your otherwise stellar system. 
SE amp with low impedance speakers?
I run Reynaud Twins (90 db @ 4 ohms) with an Audion Silver Night 300B SET and it sounds great. Not all tube amps create fly away bass with 4 ohm speakers, but I understand your concern. The best way to find out is to do a demo (hope it's possible)... 
Looking for a "Tube Guide"
Yes: Go to Audioasylum.com and cruise through the "tube" and "set" forums. Once you get aquainted the site has a full search feature which will allow you to research specific types. Just keep in mind that these are opinions and not gospel. 
Power Cord Challenge
I have used rapid switching in audio shops with good results but since I do not have this feature at home (nor would I want it) I just use "key" notes and pieces of music. When I went to Kublakan's AR/BAT audition in late April we used the finger ... 
Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title
When I played vinyl in the 70's and 80's I used to buy multiples of all of my favorite albums. The most for any single one being 12 copies (plus I already had one) of It's a Beautiful Day "Marrying Maiden" (sp). When I sold off my vinyl in the mid... 
Help me salvage my rack
To try something different you should be able to pick up a couple of MDF shelves cut to size for $5 or so at your local lumber yard. For starters without geting into upturned spikes, specialty soft footers and the like try isolating the MDF shelve... 
Musical Fidelity Integrated Amps
There is a pro review of the X-A2 at this site - http://www.hifichoice.co.uk/ (click reviews at the top of the page). Further down the page is a link to the "old" reviews which include the X-A1 and the A3 (pretty certain that it is there). I own a...
