| Power Cord Challenge OOps: Forgot that Bruce is also using the Neuance and may be using the 47 Labs cable as well. Anyway, we have a lot of art and old plastic souviner snowdomes to look at. | |
| Power Cord Challenge Yes, Late June sounds like a good time for me and by then I will have additional PC's which we may use in the tests. I should also have my system (which will include new goodies such as the Neuance shelving and hopefully the 47 Labs cabling) up an... | |
| Granite Audio Power cord 555 I get it now. Would you care to do it with speakers, CD players and DACs as well? | |
| Trelja in New York Hi Trelja: Nice report, I think, and too bad that the overall sound was not better as this should be what the show is all about. Better luck next time. I am not surprised by your comments at all when I think about all of the audio showrooms that I... | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? No, most of us are end users in that we actually use the products that we discuss. | |
| Monitors are falling Wirehead: I take it that they are not "cute" dimples. | |
| Monitors are falling Find a way to bolt your stands to the floor (most stands should be easy to retrofit to suit this need). Speakers could be bolted or screwed to the stands, though the clay like stuff that I use (4 peas sized balls) makes it very difficult to remove... | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? PS: As far as using soft footers directly under the units, I disagree with Steve's comment. I have an external power supply on a Musical Fidelity amp (that sometimes hums). Using a soft footer in this manner just isolates the vibration to the unit... | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? Usually physical damping of the transformer(s) helps a lot. Make certain the they are tightened down securely to the chassis. You might consider using some type of spacer if they will not tighten down properly. I have seen people place (wedge) har... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" I have been reading up a bit on cable as I will be experimenting with DIY IC's with a friend. It seems to be common knowledge that the signal not only passes through the wire but along its surface as well (in a different manner which is called "sk... | |
| Granite Audio Power cord 555 702: I do not understand "same-different". All of the different PC's that I "have" sound different. If two sounded the same I would sell the more expensive one and keep the cheaper one. LOL. | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? Neubilder: If you have not experimented with after market power cords, then you have missed everything. PC's in my system have been inexpensive upgrades when compared to the improvement in sound that has been achieved. Just like any other componen... | |
| LPs - display/storage etc ideas I just received this email from Gene Rubin (a local high end dealer) and hope he does not mind that I am posting it here. I wanted to give him credit as well. Here's the info:Dear LP record owners, those of us with lots of LP records all know how ... | |
| Build Your Own CD? Kublakhan: I wish that Albert at Space-Tech would reconsider. I for one do not use the display on my player and could care less about this info. We have not even used the remote control for months now. | |
| LPs - display/storage etc ideas Kubla: The electronics in our living room system are displacing my clothes closet (in the hallway as my wife "owns" all of the other ones). I have not figured out what to do with my clothing yet, but it is not a priority. My leisure suits and poly... |
