| 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". | |
| Blue room s alien minipods I just ran across the Pods in LA earlier this week but did not have time to audition them, will try next week. The spec sheet stated 90db @ 1 watt @ 4ohms, so they should be easy to push if the impedence is fairly level. The cabinet was made of pl... | |
| California electrical shortage audio Massvm: I then have been using the term "Brown out" incorrectly to describe the situation where the power drops for only a small portion of a second. This is what I am experiencing at this time (if the APC unit is accurate in testing for this). It... | |
| California electrical shortage audio I live in LA and have been able to monitor the frequency of the Brown outs with an APC power supply that I recently added to our computer. The APC has a "chirp" alarm that goes off when the power drops. Well, it chirps merrily all morning and thro... | |
| inexpensive hdcd player or dac The tempo and urgency of a CAL Icon MkII can easily be increased by using the very inexpensive Homegrown Audio Super Silver analog IC's (which, though inexpensive, are great IC's anyway, IMO). Further improvement can be had by upgrading the power ... | |
| New Music vs. New Equipment I am lucky in that I live in an area where used CD's are available in the $1 to $8 price range. Most of what I purchase is in the $1 to $3 range and I purchase on an average average, at the least, 20 CD's per month. They come from a local flea mar... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Hi Ken: So is that a yes on the metal "L" bar approach? Riveteer does actually ring just like a "bad" bell (I have done my fair share of Quasimoto impressions while putting it up and taking it down), but this is reduced when it is solidly locked t... |
