| Speaker Cable Length Here's to more money down the drain in search of the magical length. I'm game. Too bad that I just sold 36' of extra Kimber Kable, I could have had a field day. | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement Cornfed: But do you pretend you like/respect them in front of other people including your clients? I assume that both of my attorneys do in my presence, either that or I have retained a couple of true cyphers. My other legal friends however tell i... | |
| Speaker Cable Length There is one cable manufacturer (Mapleshade) that does not recommnd using their cable in less than 8' lengths as it will degrade the sound. Also using it in it's standard form in lengths exceeding 12' will have the same affect. I have not tried th... | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement If the comments were made under the circumstances described I would consider them to be cheap shot cut lows. In most industries that I know of this is not acceptable behavior. Even attorneys stick together and do not resort to such tactics, right ... | |
| DVD upgrade Angela: I went through the same thought process when upgrading my digital front end and just decided that most of my source material is in standard format and that this format will still hold the biggest market share for many years to come. Other ... | |
| Get rid of excessive low bass I kind of like the power cord/cable suggestion as they may be part of the problem, as well as the room. Many constantly upgrade cables to get the mids and highs (as well as the bass) just right. Why not try this approach in particular for low end ... | |
| DVD upgrade Swampwalker: I have never used or owned a DVD player but am curious as to what you are using for you CD digital front end. The reason is that some very favorable posts are starting to come out on the new Sony 9000 DVD/CD player that sells new for ... | |
| Stealth Hac 3,000 W power cord How long did you let the cord run in? Some cable takes hundreds of hours to do so. | |
| Difference Between 2A3s and 300Bs Doug: Those are really extreme considering that they are made from glue/lam wood. I couldn't handle that much wood in one place (I prefer just a few pieces to warm up a room if it needs it), but I like the "Big R" concept, (kind of reminds me of t... | |
| Difference Between 2A3s and 300Bs Trelja: Yes we do have some like tastes. I for one am a sucker for El34 based amps (even those that are not that great overall). Sound like anyone you know? | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Dan: You are welcome. Please let everyone know how it works out (whatever extreme you go to). Many still do not beleive in the benefits of isolation components and the word from someone not on the "fringe" (not yet anyway) may carry a lot of weight. | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion PS: Many people would aslo just place the Pods or the EAR's directly between the shelf and the player for starters if they do not want to use cones. If the stock feet have a higher profile than the soft footers then they will need to be removed, i... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Hi Dan: I used soft footers (Vibrapods) between the MDF (shelf) and the Maple platform and then brass cones between the Maple and the CD player. So, from bottom to top it was: MDF/Pods/Maple/cones/player. Red Kiwi has been having good results with... | |
| spades vs. bananas Trelja had mentioned a super duper hand operated wire crimper that was designed for use in the aircraft industry (I have been unable to source one). This might be what you are looking for if you would like to make solder less connections. His cost... | |
| Difference Between 2A3s and 300Bs Trelja: I don't see where we disagree in that my first statement is that the amp itself makes as much difference as the tubes themselves. Also in regard to bass my Reynauds do not go low enough for this to be an issue at the volume levels that I l... |
