| Access/Use Restrictions-Listening Room Yesterday we had a sonic boom in LA. At the same time that I heard the boom, I also heard a clunk from the stereo cabinet (the DAC had toppled from its cone points and landed a sixteenth of an inch from a digital microwire that I recently purchase... | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty Jsbail: If I were interested in, or needed a DVD player (because I already have a DAC that I like the sound of) picking up the 9000ES would be a no brainer. If I were in the market for both playbacks - DVD/CD-w-DAC - (SACD would just be the icing ... | |
| Could use a little help with Sorbothane The flat side goes up up (to the component) per some web instruction that I recently read. The site didn't mention using the pods as footers for under a shelf and I would assume that they should be reversed in this situation. Try it both ways thou... | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty I am stunned at the response to Kelly's thread. I had dumbly thought that I was one of the few still stewing on this issue. Of interst to my situation are the posts that say use the 9000ES as a transport -w- an external DAC (to boost standard CD p... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Thanks Sam: I need to hone my search skills. Looks like US customers can deal direct, which is always nice. | |
| How hot is hot? I would equate each 300B tube in my amp (not a Cary) to the heat of a 40 watt light bulb when running at moderate levels. The small signal tubes seem to run even hotter and there is less surface area. I have owned other push pull amps in the past ... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Sam: What is the price range for Symposium? Neuance is around $150.00 per shelf. | |
| Where do you guys buy replacement tubes? Hello again:I would like to add another source that I used recently for Svetlana 300B tubes which is (http://conusaudio.com). The tubes are specially selected stock (not branded for export) that the dealer received directly from Svetlana and they ... | |
| Where do you guys buy replacement tubes? I would like to add that the order that I placed with ATSI went smoothly and that the tubes were well packed and promptly shipped (they sound good too). I also made an Ebay purchase from a dealer (user name Roytang) that is new to Ebay and as of t... | |
| Will tubes rock? Given the room dimensions (though it's pretty square which can be a big problem) you could feasibly rock with a little 2A3 3 watt/channel amp if you paired it with efficient speakers. Most any linear (as neutral as you like it) push/pull amp would... | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty I just went for improving the sound of standard CD playback within my budget. I have only used CD as a source for the past year, so it is all pretty new to me. My "big" investment was a used Bel Canto DAC which I run from a CAL player. I buy most ... | |
| Will tubes rock? Pinetop: How large is your listening room? This will help determine what amps may and may not work. And yes, I feel that tubes do rock when paired with the right speakers (my 7 watt per channel 300b tube amp does anyway). I also have an inexpensiv... | |
| Win a power cord. Kevin: On a more serious note, would you be willing to make up "extension" cords (12' to 24') based on the BC power cord design, or would the increase in length mess up the sound? I might also need a longer PC (12') for the amp. I am moving my gea... | |
| Best Integrated PC stands for power cord. | |
| Win a power cord. How about naming your best cord (with the best plugs) "Krazy Kord" and a budget cord "Ignatz". |
