| diy power cord: Shinyata black mamba You would need to use a wire crimper, and a good one. The web site noted above is probably "homegrownaudio.com". Based on the sites price for the wire the PC would cost approx. $900.00 to make if it were 5" in length and would have very little res... | |
| What time do you wear? Very funny story Robba. The clicken clock used to "shock" me awake and now resides in the spare bathroom (my bathroom). Our last guest (my stepdaughter) liked it so much that she ran down the alarm/music battery in a weeks time. The clock may stil... | |
| silverline sonatina vs soliloquy 5.3 The Soliloquy's also sound very good (better IMO) with tubes. I auditioned them with SS Conrad Johnson and Tube Audio research gear. I would not let that influence your decision. If at all possible try and audition them with your amp or better yet... | |
| help with power cord PS: I always forget this when discussing PC's. I suspect that they may make more of a noticeable improvment in systems that are running on not so good juice. I live in an apartment in LA the land of "bad juice" and every cord sounds different in m... | |
| help with power cord In regard to the HT Pro 11 PC: I have used one on a CAL player and a Bel Canto DAC and it was a major improvement over each units stock cord. I am currently interested in auditioning the Mapleshade PC ($150.00) for the DAC out of curiosity as I re... | |

| Rock? money down the drain? The whole game is to reproduce whatever you listen to in a satisfying manner. Of course it's OK to spend X amount of dollars on any system, with any souce material. What if your hobby was recording live song birds, insects or waterfalls? Think abo... | |
| Tell Them What You Think HWY: Good idea. I had once thought of trying to contact Elton John to see if he would consider having some of his CD work re-mastered. I have heard that he is a perfectionist, but suspect that he lost control of many of the CD issues at the same t... | |

| More Old Timers Required I am not an old timer mind you but did once owned an "old" Akai deck in the mid 70's that I purchased used that sounded oddly enough as good as my source which was a Thorens/Sure combo. I cannot remember the model number which does not help you mu... | |

| 24/96 DAC with HDCD function at US1000 I have listened to it in a system other than my own and found it to be a very good all around player for all types of music. I liked it almost as much as my favorite and more expensive all in one players (Miles, CD50 & Ikemi) and may have even... |
