| Party At Albertporter s Cool! Who's asleep between the sofa and "The Wall" only to be discovered days later? | |
| Which Rack Is Better? I seem to recall from the Audio Advisor photos that the finish was just on the shelves, though I would double check with John as to this. I originally tried my player on one of the stock shelves and it sounded better than my previous setup (heavy ... | |
| Best Speaker for 300B Greg: I do not understand the crossover design (though it was just explained to me no less than two weeks ago by Randy Bankert @ O.S. Services, the US rep of Audion:-). It has been redesigned from the original monitor version that they first came ... | |
| Sony 9000 ES SACD output stage cold Simon: Are you saying that this is so of both playback modes? Thanks. | |
| Which Rack Is Better? PS: The savings literally allowed me to update two of the "key" stock shelves with Neuance shelves and it sounds much better than my old setup. | |
| Which Rack Is Better? Drubin: I mentioned to John @ Studio Tech that the upturned spike design feature (for all of the shelves) is what most of us are now looking for in equipment racks as it opens up the possibilities quite a bit. Perhaps if you reiterate this to him ... | |
| Best Speaker for 300B It will depend on your room and listening tastes as Greg states. It will also depend on the amp and speakers themselves as the spec's/numbers are just a rough guideline. I have an Audion Silver Night 300B SET that does not seem to care if the spea... | |
| Cardas Caps Worthwhile? I just use electrician's alcohol and cotton swabs if the pins are in good condition (also clean the globe with the alcohol). If the the pins are not in good shape I lightly use very fine emery cloth (think that's the name of it) and then follow up... | |
| Which Rack Is Better? Drubin: John at Studio Tech said that they had the PA-06 in stock and I think he said that they will be making them again. | |
| Sony 777es ok to leave on? I have tried it both ways and with all three of the players (plus one DAC) they all sound much better after being powered up for at least three days. The sound is a bit sluggish and veiled compared to when the equipment is left on all of the time.... | |
| Cardas Caps Worthwhile? Bmpnyc: Yes, I live in the LA area. We keep an open place (no air conditioning) and the air gunk covers everything (even dishes in closed cupboards). I never thought of putting anything on the unused inputs/outputs until I heard of the Caps. I can... | |
| Sony 777es ok to leave on? Bmpnyc: Does it get hot? None of the players that I own (and have owned) generate much heat at all (it's hard to feel it at all). | |
| Kudos to several dealers Hmm: Looks like I have some of the same favorites. Here they are in no particular order.Richard @ Vantage Audio, UKBrian @ BMIKen @ NeuanceKevin @ Homegrown AudioIsrael @ Coincident Technology, CanadaCastle Acoustics, UK and May Audio Marketing (t... | |
| Cardas Caps Worthwhile? I use small rounds of kitchen tin foil on the back of my Musical Fidelity amp (which fall off if you fuss around too much), for dust and air grunge protection. I wouldn't mind having the Cardas Caps instead, but am too cheap. | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? The Pathos Twin and also the SET amps that are in the shape of and "X" or "cross" (take your pick), but I cannot remember the name of the manufacturer (very unusual though). |
