Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
RedKiwi: I shoved the cable so hard the first eight attempts that I still do not have any feeling in the tips of my thumb and index finger and this was a couple of days ago. I started out with the speaker cable and then later added the IC's. My pr... 
Redwiki - About racks, shelves...
Rushton: I had the Neunance shelves custom made for my Studio Tech rack with no difficulty (each shelf has eight sides to it as the corners are "snipped" off). I have had them quite a while but just got around to installing them earlier this week.... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
RedKiwi: Both of the IC's that I was using before are solid core (pretty sure that the Mapleshade is, though I can barely see the wire itself, and I know that the Homegrown Audio's are). Are you using analog IC's made from the 47 Labs kit as well ... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
I would like to make a few notes on IC assembly for those that may be ordering the kit (or that have already received it). When assembling the Black portion of the RCA, the cable insulation needs to be beveled at the edges in order for it to fit i...

Best Monitor Up To 5K - Tube Friendly
Why not audition the Silverline SR-17 and consider loosing the sub? The SR-17 is so far my favorite tube friendly monitor, hands down. In regard to the sub, I auditioned it with the 5.0's and did not feel that it was a good match with them either. 
My New Creek 4330...
Hmmm: Once again, the model that I auditioned did not pop on start up. I would be concerned about the speakers (tweeters) in the long run with anything that did so. This amp was changed (modified by the manufacturer) at least once without it being... 
Ok, Here s the list of speaker cables..
I have not noticed any bass problems with the Kimber Kable (4VS, 4TC and 8TC) and have plaster floors with rug covered carpet. I preferred the sound of the cheap 4VS with the system that I had when I auditioned them all which may have been due to ... 
My New Creek 4330...
I auditioned the amp approx. one year ago and it was completely silent upon power up. I would not use the amp until it is repaired as the pop can very easily damage your speakers. 
scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it?
With that kind of reasoning how do you know whether you like your stock model or not (maybe you'r just kidding yourself)? 
Members: start a music review section?
Yes, I think that either a thread (or a spot) for this would be very nice. You people will tire of me quickly though, if I participate, as I am still picking up 25 or so CD's a month on an average and am not really into main stream music. 
kontact kleaner
I started one myself, but I'll be dammed if I can remember the title. I do however remember that Kontak ended up receiving the highest recommendation. 
Cable Supenders - Anyone Try Vibrapods?
I have noticed quite a difference in the sound depending on what my Kimber cable does and does not touch. It does not like the synthetic carpet at all (neither do we:-) which clouds the highs (I don't know if this is caused by static or by some ot...

"standard and SACD sections" 
Looking to Buy My First CD Transport
AKNorth: How many hours do you have on the standard and playback sections of the 9000ES? All feedback suggests that the sound does not start to come together until at least 400 hours or so are put on each section individually.
