| Going Topless What about using a sheet of kitchen aluminum foil for a top cover? I have been told that this blocks RFI and EMF (electro magnetic?) and at one time used it between an amps external power supply and my CD player which were cramped togther. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Other than room reflections, etc. if you like the sound of the L-100's why not try and find a single one for the center channel and then have all three refurbished at once? I don't do HT myself but have listened to some otherwise nice setups in wh... | |
| System sounds different, depending... Gunbei: We have two power companies that supply greater LA. I believe that we are on different systems as just two blocks South of us the other company takes over in LA proper (we are in West Hollywood). My system was having severe problems 3-4 mo... | |
| Best CD source? Go to the local thrift shops and flea markets and do some digging. I do not use vinyl anymore but have my choice of thousands of LPs' in the local LA thrift shops for 25 cents to $1 per album (CD's are $1 to $3 each). They often get in whole colle... | |
| Don't see much on Silverline Sonata so.. Just listen to them and decide. If you already have your amplification and source (CD) set, see if you can take them along for the audition. If you can setup a home demo, then all the better. | |
| Going Topless I somehow missed Sean's name at the bottom of his entry and thought that Kublakhan had posted it. No offense Kubla, but I was thinking "What in the hell is going on here?". Nice post Sean. | |
| power cord Par: As far as suggestions, you can always try the Mapleshade PC on a 30 day trial, I tried out two of the PC's at the same time, and like yourself was contemplating using all Mapleshade cabling (the PC's just did not work in my setups). This may ... | |
| System sounds different, depending... Gunbie: I highly recommend Tail & Mane shampoo. I recently ran out and my system immediately went into a slump. | |
| power cord The Mapleshade PC was not a good match with my SET based and SS based systems (thin and lacked bass). I do however use their Double Helix digital cable. Others have had good results with the PC if you check the AA cable forum. I now use the BMI Wh... | |
| Help with imaging PS: My center image was off even when I listened in the near field, so it was not a room problem. | |
| Help with imaging Hase you tried switching the left and right IC's back and forth? Other than the room the imbalance may come from the electronics or the cables (maybe just a poor or dirty connection if you are lucky). It looks like you have already rules out that ... | |
| My New Creek 4330... There was a review of an earlier 4330 at HiFI Choice which experienced various problems and then a later review of another unit where no problems are noted (including the start up thump). I seem to recall the lack of output relays being mentioned ... | |
| Best Monitor Up To 5K - Tube Friendly Marchman: I auditioned the Sonatas at the same time as the SR-17's. I started using mini monitors in the late 70's to early 80's so am accustomed their wide dispersion angle and therefore find wider floorstanders to sound a bit odd at first. I did... | |
| Help ID nakamichi tape deck Kubla: I never owned the 700 or 1000 models which were out of my price range, but just wanted them because they looked cool. I did own the 600 (which was wedge shaped) and a 550 portable which I used to make demos. Another nice looking deck from t... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Yes, but that's a different matter entirely. Let's not confuse apples and oranges with wire and , well, wire. |
